SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release Nos. 33-10451; 34-82455; IA-4842; IC-32963]

Adjustments to Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice of annual inflation adjustment of civil monetary
penalties.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is
publishing this notice pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the ``2015 Act'').
This Act requires all agencies to annually adjust for inflation the
civil monetary penalties that can be imposed under the statutes
administered by the agency and publish the adjusted amounts in the
Federal Register. This notice sets forth the annual inflation
adjustment of the maximum amount of civil monetary penalties (``CMPs'')
administered by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act''), the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and certain
penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These amounts are
effective beginning on January 15, 2018, and will apply to all
penalties imposed after that date for violations of the aforementioned
statutes that occurred after November 2, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James A. Cappoli, Assistant General
Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or Stephen
M. Ng, Senior Special Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, at (202)
551-7957.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This notice is being published pursuant to the 2015 Act,\1\ which
amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990
(the ``Inflation Adjustment Act'').\2\ The Inflation Adjustment Act
previously had been amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (the ``DCIA'') \3\ to require that each federal agency adopt
regulations at least once every four years that adjust for inflation
the CMPs that can be imposed under the statutes administered by the
agency. Pursuant to this requirement, the Commission previously adopted
regulations in 1996, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2013 to adjust the maximum
amount of the CMPs that could be imposed under the statutes the
Commission administers.\4\

Release Nos. 33-9387, 34-68994, IA-3557, IC-30408, dated February
27, 2013 (effective March 5, 2013), previously found at 17 CFR
201.1005 and Table V to Subpart E of Part 201. The penalty amounts
contained in these releases have now been consolidated into Table I
to 17 CFR 201.1001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The 2015 Act replaces the inflation adjustment formula prescribed
in the DCIA with a new formula for calculating the inflation-adjusted
amount of CMPs. The 2015 Act requires that agencies use this new
formula to re-calculate the inflation-adjusted amounts of the

penalties they administer on an annual basis and publish these new
amounts in the Federal Register by January 15 of each year.\5\ The
Commission previously published the first annual adjustment required by
the 2015 Act on January 6, 2017 (the ``2017 Adjustment'').\6\ As part
of the 2017 Adjustment, the Commission promulgated 17 CFR 201.1001(a)
and Table I to Subsection 1001, which lists the penalty amounts for all
violations that occurred on or before November 2, 2015. For violations
occurring after November 2, 2015, Subsection 1001(b) provides that the
applicable penalty amounts will be adjusted annually based on the
formula set forth in the 2015 Act. Subsection 1001(b) further provides
that these adjusted amounts will be published in the Federal Register
and on the Commission's website.

(effective Jan. 18, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A CMP is defined in relevant part as any penalty, fine, or other
sanction that: (1) Is for a specific amount, or has a maximum amount,
as provided by federal law; and (2) is assessed or enforced by an
agency in an administrative proceeding or by a federal court pursuant
to federal law.\7\ This definition applies to the monetary penalty
provisions contained in four statutes administered by the Commission:
The Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, and
the Investment Advisers Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 provides the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the
``PCAOB'') authority to levy civil monetary penalties in its
disciplinary proceedings pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 7215(c)(4)(D).\8\ The
definition of a CMP in the Inflation Adjustment Act encompasses such
civil monetary penalties.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 28 U.S.C. 2461 note Sec. 3(2).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 7215(c)(4)(D).
    \9\ The Commission may by order affirm, modify, remand, or set
aside sanctions, including civil monetary penalties, imposed by the
PCAOB. See Section 107(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 15
U.S.C. 7217. The Commission may enforce such orders in federal
district court pursuant to Section 21(e) of the Exchange Act. As a
result, penalties assessed by the PCAOB in its disciplinary
proceedings are penalties ``enforced'' by the Commission for
purposes of the Inflation Adjustment Act. See Adjustments to Civil
Monetary Penalty Amounts, Release No. 33-8530 (Feb. 4, 2005) [70 FR
7606 (Feb. 14, 2005)].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Adjusting the commission's penalty amounts for inflation

    This notice sets forth the annual inflation adjustment required by
the 2015 Act for all CMPs under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
the Investment Company Act, and the Investment Advisers Act, and
certain civil monetary penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
    Pursuant to the 2015 Act, the penalty amounts in the 2017
Adjustment are adjusted for inflation by increasing them by the
percentage change between the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (``CPI-U'') for October 2016 and the October 2017 CPI-U.\10\
OMB has provided its calculation of this multiplier (the ``CPI-U
Multiplier'') to agencies.\11\ The new penalty amounts are determined
by multiplying the current penalty amounts by the CPI-U Multiplier and
then rounding to the nearest dollar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 28 U.S.C. 2461 note Sec. 5.
    \11\ Office of Management and Budget, Implementation of Penalty
Inflation Adjustments for 2018, Pursuant to the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015
(December 15, 2017), available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/M-18-03.pdf. This multiplier represents the
percentage increase between the October 2016 CPI-U and the October
2017 CPI-U, plus 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, the CMP for certain insider trading violations by
controlling persons under Exchange Act Section 21A(a)(3) \12\ was
readjusted for inflation as part of the 2017 Adjustment to $2,011,061.
To determine the new CMP under this provision, the Commission
multiplies this amount by the CPI-U Multiplier of 1.02041, and rounds
to the nearest dollar. Thus, the new CMP for Exchange Act Section
21A(a)(3) is $2,052,107.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: For-hire Class I motor carriers of passengers
(including interstate and intrastate) \1\ are required to file Motor
Carrier Annual and Quarterly Reports (Form MP-1) that provide financial
and operating data (see 49 U.S.C. 14123; and implementing FMCSA
regulations at 49 CFR part 369). The agency uses this information to
assess the health of the industry and identify industry changes that
may affect national transportation policy. The data also show company
financial stability and traffic patterns. Motor carriers of passengers
required to comply with the regulations are classified on the basis of
their annual gross carrier operating revenues. Under the F&OS program
the FMCSA collects balance sheet and income statement data along with
information on tonnage, mileage, employees, transportation equipment,
and other related data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For purposes of the Financial & Operating Statistics (F&OS)
program, passenger carriers are classified into the following two
groups; (1) Class I carriers are those having average annual gross
transportation operating revenues (including interstate and
intrastate) of $5 million or more from passenger motor carrier
operations after applying the revenue deflator formula as shown in
the Note at 49 CFR 369.3; and (2) Class II passenger carriers are
those having average annual gross transportation operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of less than $5 million from
passenger motor carrier operations after applying the revenue
deflator formula as shown in the Note at 49 CFR 369.3. Only Class I
carriers of passengers are required to file the Annual and Quarterly
Report Form MP-1. Class II passenger carriers, however, must notify
the agency when there is a change in their classification or their
revenues exceed the Class II limit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The data and information collected is made publicly available as
prescribed in 49 CFR part 369. Class I and Class II motor carriers are
required by 49 U.S.C. 14123 to file annual and quarterly financial
reports with the Secretary. The Secretary has exercised his discretion
under section 14123 to also require Class I property carriers
(including dual-property carriers), Class I household goods carriers
and Class I passengers carriers to file quarterly reports.
    Over the years, the regulations were formerly administered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), but the ICC Termination Act of
1995 (ICCTA) (Pub. L. 104-88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 1995); now
codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123) abolished the ICC and transferred the
responsibility for collecting and disseminating motor carrier financial
information to the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary). On
September 30, 1998, the Secretary delegated and transferred the
authority to administer the F&OS program to the former Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS), now a part of the Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), to former Chapter XI,
subchapter 13 of 49 CFR part 1420 (63 FR 52192).
    On September 29, 2004, the Secretary transferred the responsibility
for the F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA in the belief that the program
was more aligned with FMCSA's safety mission and its other motor
carrier responsibilities (69 FR 51009). On August 10, 2006 (71 FR
45740), the Secretary published a final rule that transferred and
redesignated the motor carrier financial and statistical reporting
regulations of BTS that were formerly located at chapter XI of title 49
CFR to FMCSA in 49 chapter III of title 49 CFR part 369.
    Title: Annual and Quarterly Report of Class I Motor Carriers of
Passengers (formerly OMB Control Number 2139-0003).
    New OMB Control Number: 2126-0031.
    Type of Request: Revision and renewal of a currently-approved
information collection request.
    Respondents: Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers.

During this period, we received comments from Paul Cort, Earthjustice;
letter dated December 6, 2010 and received December 6, 2010. The
comments and our responses are summarized below.
    Comment #1: Earthjustice supported EPA's proposed approval of Rule
4320 and EPA's assertion that the fee provisions in the rule fail to
comply with EPA policy on economic incentive programs.
    Response #1: No response needed.
    Comment #2: Earthjustice asked EPA to clarify that no emission
reduction credit is appropriate for Rule 4320 until SJVAPCD submits
additional documentation, subject to public review and comment,
including documentation demonstrating permanent, enforceable, surplus
and quantifiable CO and NOX reductions associated with fees
paid in lieu of direct control of these and documentation demonstrating
the PM reductions associated with SO2 controls.
    Response #2: The discussion of SIP credits in our TSD and proposal
was included for information only and does not affect our action on
Rule 4320. Our proposed approval of Rule 4320 relied largely on a
finding that the rule improved the SIP, and not on if or how many
emission reductions the rule provides. Comments on whether SJVAPCD
ensures adequate emission reductions are more appropriate to action on
plans. When EPA approves a plan, we are effectively approving the
emission reduction assumptions for specific rules that it is based on.
Proposed rulemaking on a plan is subject to notice and comment and
would be the appropriate forum to raise issues on whether reductions
from specific rules should be credited to the SIP.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment that the
submitted rule complies with the relevant CAA requirements. Therefore,
as authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully approving
this rule into the California SIP.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves State law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those

imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 24, 2011. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 PFOA ECA Telomers Technical Workgroup Meeting Summary, 6/ 24/ 03 53 participants; Attendance list in docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0128.

The meeting included three sections: I. Presentation on scope of all telomer industry LOI commitments. II. Discussion/ Questions III. Identification of workgroup next steps; determination of workgroup assignments for workgroup and plenary meetings on July 10, 2003.

I. LOI Commitments  Summary of Industry Presentations The Telomer Research Program presented background on its formation. TRP is a sciencefocused research consortium founded 3 years ago in response to a need to develop data on telomer products. The members include Asahi Glass, Clariant, Daikin Industries, and DuPont. The goals of the group were to develop test methods and protocols to be used to conduct analyses on products in the areas of toxicology, pharmocokinetics, and environmental fate. TRP indicated that for the last year it has refocused much of its energy into development and execution of the LOI.. The slide presentation is available in the docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0128.

TRP stated that the purpose of the LOI is to give the Agency and other interested parties a clear idea of what is covered, what is not covered, and why it is not covered. The TRP said that it is seeking input on the LOI process and hopes to identify items for inclusion in the ECA while not compromising the work already underway. The overall objective of the LOI is to determine potential releases of PFOA from product manufacture, processing, products, and treated articles and to gain a better understanding of the environmental fate and effects of these releases.

TRP indicated that the testing approach will be to determine relevant releases and exposures to PFOA from select products. Release and exposure studies will be conducted in a mill pilot facility using a closed system. The TRP believes that identification of the environmental compartments, pathways, and the potential exposures is the first step. Fate and monitoring studies will be conducted based on these release and exposure findings. TRP proposed conducting many tests in parallel using 12 representative polymeric telomer products used in the three primary markets of carpet, textiles, and paper.

TRP presented a comparison of the LOI commitments with the EPA ECA Preliminary Framework document dated May 20, 2003, and stated that the only area not covered by the LOI at this time concerns releases and exposures from fire fighting foams ( Item # 11). TRP stated that a representative from the Fire Fighting Foam Coalition ( FFFC) will present information at the next plenary meeting on July 10, 2003. TRP presented detailed progress in each of the other EPA ECA framework document areas. TRP indicated their understanding that all physical chemical properties information has been completed and submitted to the docket. Determination of degradation pathways and products will be conducted using the pilot mill. The p chem properties U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 2 of the degradation products will be conducted once product pathways are identified. TRP stated that the incineration by products cannot be identified until the primary method of disposal is identified. TRP will look at the 12 representative products and determine their individual methods of disposal. TRP indicated that, under their LOI commitment, incineration analyses will only be conducted on those products that are identified to have incineration as their primary disposal method. TRP reported that, under their LOI commitments, the determination of the presence of PFOA and PFOA precursors in telomer products and telomer articles is underway, and that analytical techniques and method validation are currently being developed to make that determination. Product and article aging is also underway under the TRP LOI commitments. In the aging studies, products will be subjected to high temperatures to simulate storage and transportation. Aged articles will be subjected to high temperatures and photolysis to simulate use under normal conditions. With respect to product stewardship, TRP stated that the member companies are committed to safe handling and use of their products at the manufacturing site as well as at customer and handler sites. TRP indicated that its goal is to develop a TRP Safe Handling and Use Handbook for customers who use TRP products similar to the FMG industry guide.

TRP concluded that the LOI is a comprehensive document that addresses the majority of the ECA items, and that the LOI would be the most expeditious method to conduct work. TRP stated that by employing a technically sound, step wise testing approach, the LOI would serve the interests of all the parties.

II. Discussion/ Questions The workgroup participants had questions regarding the submission of the physical chemical properties of telomer 8 2 alcohol. TRP responded by stating that all suggested tests were complete and submitted to the docket, with the exception of the absorption/ desorption test which is due for completion within 3 months.

Parties questioned whether additional chemicals needed to be addressed, and particularly whether TRP should test for chemicals beyond PFOA and the 8 2 alcohol, possibly including C10, PFDA, and other perfluorinated degradation products found in human blood. TRP responded by stating that the LOI commitment focused on PFOA and the telomer 8 2 alcohol because PFOA was what the available literature had described as a problem. TRP mentioned that iodides are intermediates whose identities disappear, and the esters have potential to hydrolyze to form the alcohol.

Meeting participants questioned the proposed biodegradation testing, particularly the duration of tests and the appropriateness of the TRP " triggering scheme" that would lead to additional testing. EPA indicated that the aerobic soil test is a fundamental biodegradation test, and suggested the OECD 307 ( Aerobic and Anaerobic Transformations in Soil) and OECD 308 ( Aerobic and Anaerobic Transformations in Aquatic Sediment systems) protocols. TRP stated U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 3 that it believed that the ready biodegradation test would help build an analytical method for longer term testing, and that the higher level tests cannot be conducted until other tests are completed. The workgroup recognized that available test methods may not adequately address the biodegradation data needs for telomers and decided to convene a Biodegradation Test Methods Development subgroup comprised of technical experts tasked to reach agreement on acceptable test methods. EPA agreed to solicit expert subgroup participants from among the interested parties and to convene meetings of the subgroup, which may take place through conference calls.

Numerous questions arose concerning the adequacy of the chemical coverage, the number of samples, and the rationale behind the selection process. Several questions arose regarding the selection of the 12 representative products for inclusion in the studies. Workgroup members wanted to know specific information regarding these products, including specific chemical identity, specific uses, and whether they were truly representative of all products available. TRP responded by stating that the 12 representative products were selected based on the most amount of material used and in what markets, and were based on largest volume of product selling to the various uses. TRP stated generically that each product has a common fluorine backbone which is formulated into different products with different CAS numbers, and that they are acrylic and urethane type polymers. No TRP company knows which specific chemicals are being assessed by other companies due to competitive issues in these markets. TRP stated that the 12 products represent the major market end uses of carpet, textile, and paper ( i. e. pet food bags), although the detailed rationales of why the specific chemicals were chosen are confidential. TRP agreed to provide a " public face" for the 12 chemicals and their uses for the next meeting. EPA noted that questions remain concerning the 12 chemicals selected and whether they adequately characterize the universe of telomer products in commerce, and that it will be addressing questions to the individual companies on their CBI information.

Of particular interest were the proposed incineration evaluations. In response to questions, TRP stated that initially an analysis on primary means of disposal would be conducted, and that only those items determined to be primarily incinerated would be tested. The incineration test method would have to be based on the determination of the incinerator conditions in the US. Thermal profile would not be part of the evaluation. EPA agreed to provide a basic incineration method for evaluation by the TRP.

Questions were raised regarding the testing methods proposed for aged articles, and included whether the methods would be sufficient to identify whether the articles are a source of PFOA exposure, and what testing methods are proposed to identify potential exposures. The CPSC stated that they typically use dermal, washing, sweat, and saliva tests to determine the potential for human exposure. TRP responded that the initial analyses must be performed prior to more specific tests being performed. Analysis of the aged and used articles must be put together and a decision made on how to proceed. Proposed tests could include rub off, washing, etc. This led to U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 4 the realization that it was not possible to understand the full extent of the testing to be performed under the LOI commitments without a flow chart or similar visual aid.

The workgroup participants asked TRP to develop a diagram of " What ifs" to put into perspective the decision pathways the TRP would undertake throughout their LOI testing process. The TRP committed to develop such a diagram for review at the next meeting on July 10. TRP indicated that the diagram may not be complete, but would give the participants a better idea of what considerations and decision paths are proposed and what testing would be done under the LOI.

The workgroup came to the conclusion that a comprehensive list of all documents provided to the docket would allow the participants to review all submitted information in an orderly manner. Katie Smythe will develop this document and forward it to Mary Dominiak for distribution to the workgroup before the July 10 workgroup meeting.

III. Next Steps I. TRP to provide a " What if" flow diagram describing the decision logic and details of their LOI testing commitments. II. TRP will prepare a document to " put a public face" on the 12 chemicals selected for testing by members of the TRP under their LOI commitments to better inform the interested parties of where and how these chemicals are used and why they were selected for testing. III. TRP will identify where information relevant to its LOI testing program can be found in the public record. Katie Smythe will forward to Many Dominiak a crosswalk document linking data submissions to LOI testing commitments. IV. Responsibility of the workgroup to look at all identified documents, including the rationales supporting the TRP LOI testing commitments. V. EPA to provide a basic incineration method for review. VI. Identification of technical specialists to participate in a Biodegradation Test Methods Development subgroup. VII. Be considering identification of workgroup spokesperson for plenary meeting on 7/ 10.

Agenda

Docket No. RD23-2-000

August 10, 2023

August 10, 2023 [verbar] 9:00-4:30 p.m. Eastern

NERC Atlanta Office, 3353 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 600--North Tower,
Atlanta, GA 30326
Welcome and Opening Remarks (9:00-9:12 a.m.)
NERC Antitrust Compliance Guidelines and Commission Staff Disclaimer
(9:12-9:15 a.m.)
Agenda
Introduction and Background (9:15-9:30 a.m.)
    Commission and NERC staff will provide background information
relevant to discussion during the technical conference, including on
Reliability Standard CIP-014-3, the current physical security
landscape, recent Commission activities on physical security, and the
NERC report filed with the Commission in April.
Part 1: Effectiveness of Reliability Standard CIP-014-3
    Part 1 of the technical conference will focus on Reliability
Standard CIP-014-3, as it is enforced today as well as any potential
revisions to the standard resulting in subsequent versions.
Panel 1--Applicability (9:30-10:50 a.m.)
    This panel will explore the facilities subject to Reliability
Standard CIP-014-3. While the NERC report filed with the Commission did
not recommend revising the applicability section of the Standard at
this time, the report determined that this could change based on
additional information. Panelists will discuss whether the
applicability section of Reliability Standard CIP-014-3 identifies the
appropriate facilities to mitigate physical security risks to better
assure reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. Panelists will also
discuss whether additional type(s) of substation configurations should
be studied to determine risks and the possible need for required
protections.
    This panel may include a discussion of the following topics and
questions:
    1. Is the applicability Section of CIP-014-3 properly determining
transmission station/substations to be assessed for instability,
uncontrolled separation or cascading within the Interconnection?
Specifically, are the correct facilities being assessed and what
topology or characteristics should the applicable facilities have to be
subject to CIP-014? For example, are there criteria other than those in
Section 4.1.1 of CIP-014-3, such as connected to two vs. three other
station/substations and exceeding the aggregated weighted value of
3000, changing the weighting value of the table in the applicability
section, or including lower transmission voltages?
    2. Given the changing threat landscape, are there specific
transmission station/substation configurations that should be included
in the applicability section of CIP-014-3, including combinations of
stations/substations to represent coordinated attacks on multiple
facilities? What would they be and why?
    3. What other assessments (e.g., a TPL-001 planning assessment) may
be used to identify an at-risk facility or group of facilities that
should be considered for applicability under CIP-014-3? How stringent
are those assessments? Describe any procedural differences between
those other assessments and the CIP-014-3 R1 Risk Assessment. Should
CIP-014-3 apply to entities other than those transmission owners to
which 4.1.1 applies or transmission operators to which 4.1.2 applies?
    4. Should potential load loss or generation loss be considered? If
so, why, and how would potential impact be determined (e.g., how would
potential load loss be determined in advance of running an
assessment?)?
    5. Should facilities that perform physical security monitoring
functions that are not currently subject to CIP-014-3 (e.g., security
operation centers) be covered by CIP-014-3 as well? If so, what
criteria should be used?
    Panelists:

 Mark Rice, Pacific Northwest National Lab
 Representative, Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and
Emergency Response (Department of Energy)
 Adam Gerstnecker, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc.
 Jamie Calderon, NERC
 Lawrence Fitzgerald, TRC Companies
Break (10:50-11:00 a.m.)
Panel 2--Minimum Level of Physical Protection (11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.)
    This panel will discuss the reliability goal to be achieved and
based on that goal, what, if any, mandatory minimum resiliency or
security protections should be required against facility attacks, e.g.,
site hardening, ballistic protection, etc. This panel will discuss the
scope of reliability, resilience, and security measures that are
inclusive of a robust, effective, and risk-informed approach to
reducing physical security risks. The panel will also consider whether
any minimum protections should be tiered and discuss the appropriate
criteria for a tiered approach.
    This panel may include a discussion of the following topics and
questions:
    1. What is our reliability goal? What are we protecting against to
ensure grid reliability beyond what is required in the current
standards?

    a. What are the specific physical security threats (both current
and emerging) to all stations/substations on the bulk electric system?
    b. As threats are continually evolving, how can we identify those
specific threats?
    c. How do threats vary across all stations/substations on the bulk
electric system? How would defenses against those threats vary?
    To what extent should simultaneous attacks at multiple sites be
considered?
    2. Do we need mandatory minimum protections? If so, what should
they be?
    a. Should there be flexible criteria or a bright line?
    b. Should minimum protections be tiered (i.e., stations/substations
receive varying levels of protection according to their importance to
the grid)? How should importance be quantified for these protections?
    c. Should minimum protections be based on preventing instability,
uncontrolled separation, or cascading or preventing loss of service to
customers (e.g., as in Moore County, NC) ? If minimum protections were
to be based on something other than the instability, uncontrolled
separation, or cascading, what burden would that have on various
registered entities? If the focus is on loss of service, is it
necessary to have state and local jurisdictions involved to implement a
minimum set of protections?
    d. In what areas should any minimum protections be focused?
    i. Detection?
    ii. Assessment?
    iii. Response?
    3. To what extent would minimum protections help mitigate the
likelihood and/or reliability impact of simultaneous, multi-site
attacks?
    Panelists:

 Travis Moran, NERC/SERC
 Mike Melvin, Edison Electric Institute
 Kathy Judge, Edison Electric Institute
 Jackie Flowers, Tacoma Public Utilities
 Representative, American Public Power Association
Lunch (12:30-1:00 p.m.)
Part 2: Solutions Beyond CIP-014-3
    Part 2 of the technical conference will focus on solutions for
physical security beyond the requirements in Reliability Standard CIP-
014-3.
Panel 3--Best Practices and Operational Preparedness (1:00-2:30 p.m.)
    This panel will discuss physical security best practices for
prevention, protection, response, and recovery. The discussion will
include asset management strategies to prepare, incident training
preparedness and response, and research and development needs.
    This panel may include a discussion of the following topics and
questions:
    1. What is the physical security threat landscape for each of your
companies? What best practices have been implemented to mitigate the
risks and vulnerabilities of physical attacks on energy infrastructure?
    2. What asset management and preparedness best practices have your
member companies implemented to prevent, protect against, respond to,
and recover from physical attacks on their energy infrastructure?
    3. What research and development efforts are underway or needed for
understanding and mitigating physical security risks to critical energy
electrical infrastructure?
    4. What research and development efforts, including the development
of tools, would you like to see the National Labs undertake to assist
your companies in addressing physical threats to your critical
electrical infrastructure?
    5. What do you need or would like to see from the energy industry
to improve your ability and accuracy in addressing physical security
risks to critical energy electrical infrastructure?
    6. What best practices are in place to accelerate electric utility
situational awareness of an incident and to involve local jurisdiction
responders?
    7. What can the federal and state regulators do to assist the
energy industry in improving their physical security posture?
    8. What training improvements can NERC and the Regional Entities
implement to system operators to aid in real-time identification and
recovery procedures from physical attacks?
    9. What changes could be made to improve information sharing
between the federal government and industry?
    Panelists:

 Gupta Vinit, ITC Holdings Corp.
 Randy Horton, Electric Power Research Institute
 Craig Lawton, Sandia National Lab
 Michael Ball, Berkshire Hathaway Energy
 Thomas Galloway, North American Transmission Forum
 Scott Aaronson, Edison Electric Institute
Break (2:30-2:40 p.m.)
Panel 4--Grid Planning To Respond to and Recover From Physical and
Cyber Security Threats and Potential Obstacles (2:40-4:10 p.m.)
    This panel will explore planning to respond to and recovery from
physical and cyber security threats and potential obstacles to
developing and implementing such plans. This discussion will focus on
how best to integrate cyber and physical security with engineering,
particularly in the planning phase. The panel will discuss whether
critical stations could be reduced through best practices and how to
determine whether to mitigate the risk of a critical station or protect
it. Finally, the panel will consider the implications of the changing
resource mix on vulnerability of the grid and its resilience to
disruptions.
    This panel may include a discussion of the following topics and
questions:
    1. How can cyber and physical security be integrated with
engineering, particularly planning? What aspects of cyber and physical
security need to be incorporated into the transmission planning
process?
    2. What modifications could be made to TPL-001 to bring in broader
attack focus (e.g., coordinated attack)? What sensitivities or examined
contingencies might help identify vulnerabilities to grid attacks?
    3. Currently, if a CIP-014-3 R1 assessment deems a transmission
station/substation as ``critical'' that station/substation must be
physically protected. Are there best practices for reconfiguring
facilities so as to reduce the criticality of stations/substations?
    4. When prioritizing resources, how should entities determine which
``critical'' stations/substations to remove from the list and which to
protect? If the project is extensive and may have a long lead time to
construct, to what degree does the station/substation need to be
protected during the interim period?
    5. How will the development of the grid to accommodate the
interconnection of future renewable generation affect the resilience of
the grid to attack? Will the presence of future additional renewable
generation itself add to or detract from the resilience of the grid to
physical attack?
    6. What are the obstacles to developing a more resilient grid? What
strategies can be used to address these obstacles?
    a. Cost?
    b. Siting?
    c. Regulatory Barriers?

[Project No. 2660-016-Maine]

Domtar Maine Corporation; Notice Soliciting Applications

December 21, 2005.
    On August 21, 1995, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, the licensee for
the Forest City Project No. 2660, filed a notice of intent to file an
application for a new license, pursuant to section 15(b)(1) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA).\1\ The original license was issued August 27,
1980, became effective April 1, 1962, and expired August 31, 2000. The
project is currently operating under an annual license.\2\ The project
is a storage reservoir located on the east branch of the St. Croix
River in Washington County, Maine, along the United States-Canadian
border.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The project was transferred to Domtar Maine Corporation
(Domtar) on October 26, 2001. 97 FERC ] 62,078.
    \2\ Notice authorizing continued project operation was issued
November 21, 2000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Forest City Project consists of a 16-foot-high, 500-foot-long
dam and a 16,070-acre reservoir. There are no generating facilities at
the project. Water is discharged from the Forest City Dam and enters
Spednick Lake, which is regulated by the licensed Vanceboro Project No.
2492.\3\ The water then flows to Domtar's unlicensed Grand Falls
Project, located 35 miles downstream from the Forest City Project, and
thence an additional 12 miles to the unlicensed Woodland generating
project. The Grand Falls and Woodland Projects, both of which generate
electricity, have been found not to require licensing, because they
were authorized by a 1916 Act of Congress that predated the 1920
enactment of what is now part I of the FPA.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Vanceboro Project is a storage project with no
generating facilities.
    \4\ 39 Stat. 534. 45 FERC ] 62,070 and 45 FERC ] 62,071.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 16.9 of the Commission's regulations, the
deadline for filing an application for new license and any competing
license application was August 31, 1998. No application for license for
this project was filed. Normally, pursuant to section 16.25 of the
Commission's regulations, the Commission would solicit applications
from potential applicants other than the existing licensee. However,
the Commission's Order On Rehearing, On Clarification, and Lifting
Stay,\5\ concludes that it would be in the public interest to allow
Domtar the opportunity to file an application for new license for this
project and confirms that the incumbent preference will apply in any
licensing proceedings that ensue. In the rehearing order, the
Commission waived those parts of 18 CFR 16.24(a)(2) and 16.25(a) that
would otherwise bar Domtar from filing an application in response to
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 99 FERC ] 61,276.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The licensee is required to make available certain information
described in section 16.7 of the Commission's regulations. Such
information is available from the licensee at Domtar Industries, Inc.,
Woodland Mill, 144 Main Street, Baileyville, Maine 04694.
    A potential applicant that files a notice of intent and pre-
application document within 90 days from the date of issuance of this
notice: (1) May apply for a license under part I of the FPA and part 4
(except section 4.38) of the Commission's regulations within 36 months
of the date on which it files its notice; \6\ and (2) must comply with
the requirements of section 16.8 of the Commission's regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission's regulation requires license applications to
be filed within 18 months of the date a license applicant files its
notice of intent. However, because the Commission's Integrated
Licensing Process calls for a three year pre-application process,
section 16.25(b)(1) is extended for this project.

Secretary.
