Abstract: Three year renewal on FERC-725Y: The information collection (data reported and retained) as required by Reliability Standard PER-005-2 is not submitted to FERC; rather it is retained for access by NERC, the Regional Entity, or FERC in their respective roles of monitoring and enforcing compliance with the NERC Reliability Standards. [Reliability Standard PER-005 includes training requirements for local transmission control center operator personnel, operations support personnel who perform current day or next day outage coordination or assessments, or who determine SOLs or IROLs or operating nomograms in support of real-time operations; and certain generator dispatch personnel at centrally located dispatch centers.]

Short Statement: The reporting requirements for the FERC-725Y information collection remain unchanged. However, a one-time completed requirement (associated with an order in Docket No. RD14-7-000 ) is being removed and Commission staff is making a slight adjustment to the remaining reporting requirements.
