FERC-725Z, (DLO in RD25-10 and IC26-1), Mandatory Reliability Standards: IRO Reliability Standards

The commission is seeking approval on IRO-010-5 that will replace IRO-010-4: The retirement date of reliability standard IRO‐010‐4 shall be retired immediately prior to the effective date of reliability standard IRO‐010‐5 in the jurisdiction in which the revised standards are becoming effective. The primary purpose of this project is to simplify administrative burdens and mitigate potential zero defects and expectations associated with the current IR0‐010‐4 standard, while ensuring that Registered Entities with operational responsibilities continue to request and receive the data necessary to support Operational Planning Analysis, Real‐time Assessments, Real‐time monitoring, and Balancing Authority analysis functions. This implementation plan reflects consideration that responsible entities will need time to develop revised data and information specifications under Reliability Standard IRO‐010‐5, including: (i) developing new protocols for submission periodicity, performance criteria, and provisions to update information as needed; (ii) developing provisions for using intermediary entities to provide data; and (iii) codifying in the data and information specification the mutually agreed upon formats, process for resolving conflicts, and security protocols to use for data and information exchange. This implementation plan also reflects consideration of the time that responsible entities will need to distribute the revised data and information specifications to the reporting entities, and that the reporting entities will need to comply with the revised data and information specifications.
