SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-725HH, RF Reliability Standards.
    OMB Control Number: 1902-0256.
    Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC-725HH information
collection requirements, as modified by Docket No. RD17-8-000.
    Abstract: The information collected by the FERC-725HH is required
to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). Section 215 of the FPA buttresses the
Commission's efforts to strengthen the reliability of the interstate
grid through the grant of new authority by providing for a system of
mandatory Reliability Standards developed by the Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO). In July 2006, the Commission certified the North
American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) as the ERO.\1\
Reliability Standards that the ERO proposes to the Commission may
include Reliability Standards that are proposed to the ERO by a
Regional Entity.\2\ A Regional Entity is an entity that has been
approved by the Commission to enforce Reliability Standards under
delegated authority from the ERO.\3\ On March 17, 2011, the Commission
approved a regional Reliability Standard submitted by the ERO that was
developed by the ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RF).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ North American Electric Reliability Corp., 116 FERC 61,062
(ERO Certification Order), order on reh'g & compliance, 117 FERC
61,126 (2006), aff'd sub nom. Alcoa, Inc. v. FERC, 564 F.3d 1342
(D.C. Cir. 2009).
    \2\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(e)(4).
    \3\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(a)(7) and (e)(4).
    \4\ Planning Resource Adequacy Assessment Reliability Standard,
Order No. 747, 134 FERC 61,212 (2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    RF promotes bulk electric system reliability in the Eastern
Interconnection. RF is the Regional Entity responsible for compliance
monitoring and enforcement in the RF region. In addition, RF provides
an environment for the development of Reliability Standards and the
coordination of the operating and planning activities of its members as
set forth in the RF bylaws.
    There is one regional Reliability Standard in the RF region. The
regional Reliability Standard requires planning coordinators within the
RF geographical footprint to analyze, assess and document resource
adequacy for load in the RF footprint annually, to utilize a ``one day
in ten years'' loss of load criterion, and to document and post load
and resource capability in each area or transmission-constrained sub-
area identified.
     BAL-502-RFC-02 (Planning Resource Adequacy Analysis,
Assessment and Documentation) \5\ establishes common criteria, based on
``one day in ten year'' loss of load expectation principles, for the
analysis, assessment, and documentation of resource adequacy for load
in the RF region.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ BAL-502-RFC-02 is included in the OMB-approved inventory for
FERC-725H.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission's request to OMB reflects the following:
     Implementing the regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-RF-
03 and the retirement of regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-RFC-02
\6\ which is discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Burden associated with BAL-502-RF-02 Reliability Standard
was once contained in FERC-725H information collection (OMB Control
No. 1902-0256). FERC-725H was discontinued on 3/6/2014. However, the
requirements of BAL-502-RF-02 were still imposed on NERC entities.
Those requirements are now being retired with no removal of burden
(any associated burden was removed concurrent with the
discontinuance).

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

    On September 7, 2017, NERC and RF filed a joint petition in Docket
No. RD17-8-000 \7\ requesting Commission approval of: (a) Regional
Reliability Standard BAL-502-RF-03 (Planning Resource Adequacy
Analysis, Assessment and Documentation), and (b) the retirement of
regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-RFC-02.\6\ The petition states:
``Proposed regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-RF-03 establishes
common criteria, based on ``one day in ten year'' loss of Load
expectation principles, for the analysis, assessment, and documentation
of Resource Adequacy for Load in the ReliabilityFirst region.'' NERC's
and RF's joint filing was noticed on September 8, 2017, with
interventions, comments and protests due on or before October 10, 2017.
In this document, we provide estimates of the burden and cost related
to those revisions to FERC-725HH.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the
Commission's eLibrary system in Docket No. RD17-8-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondents: Planning coordinators.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \8\ Details follow on the changes
related to Docket No. RD17-8-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimate of Changes to Burden Due to Docket No. RD17-8: The joint
petition requested Commission approval of regional Reliability Standard
BAL-502-RF-03 and retirement of regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-
RFC-02. The estimated effects on burden and cost \9\ are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For BAL-502-RF-03, the hourly cost (for salary plus
benefits) uses the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for
three positions involved in the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. These figures include salary (http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are:
     Manager (Occupation Code 11-0000): $81.52/hour.
     Engineer (Occupation Code 17-2071): $68.12/hour.
     File Clerk (Occupation Code 43-4071): $32.74/hour.
    The hourly cost for the reporting requirements ($60.79) is an
average of the cost of a manager, an engineer, and a file clerk.
    \10\ The number of respondents is derived from the NERC
Compliance Registry as of October 2, 2017 for the burden associated
with the proposed regional Reliability Standard BAL-502-RF-03.
