SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725D, Facilities Design,
Connections and Maintenance
Reliability Standards.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0247.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725D information
collection requirements, with changes to
the reporting or recordkeeping
requirements. (There are adjustments to
the estimates to update the totals to add
in the FAC–003–5 and FAC–008–5).
Abstract: On August 8, 2005, The
Electricity Modernization Act of 2005,
which is Title XII of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted
into law. EPAct 2005 added a new
section 215 to the Federal Power Act
(FPA), which requires a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO) to develop
mandatory and enforceable Reliability
Standards, subject to Commission
review and approval. Once approved,
the Reliability Standards may be
enforced by the ERO, subject to
Commission oversight, or by the
Commission independently. In 2006,
the Commission certified NERC (now
called the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation) as the ERO
pursuant to section 215 of the FPA. On
March 16, 2007 (pursuant to section
215(d) of the FPA), the Commission
issued Order No. 693, approving 83 of
the 107 initial Reliability Standards
filed by NERC. In the intervening years,
numerous changes have been made to

update, eliminate, or establish various
Reliability Standards.
The information collected by FERC–
725D is required to implement the
statutory provisions of section 215 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C.
824c). Pursuant to section 215 of the
Federal Power Act (FPA),1 in Order
836,2 the Commission approved the
following standards: FAC–003–5 is set
out to maintain a reliable electric
transmission system by using a defensein-depth strategy to manage vegetation
located on transmission rights of way
(ROW) and minimize encroachments
from vegetation located adjacent to the
ROW, thus preventing the risk of those
vegetation-related outages that could
lead to Cascading. FAC–003–5 is
applicable to TOs and GOs and NERC
has incorporated Applicability Sections
4.2.2 and 4.3.1.2 of FAC–003–5 to
replace references to ‘‘elements of an
IROL under NERC Standard FAC–014
by the Planning Coordinator’’ with
references to facilities:
‘‘Identified by the Planning
Coordinator or Transmission Planner,
per its Planning Assessment of the
Near-Term Transmission Planning
Horizon as a Facility that if lost or
degraded are expected to result in
instances of instability, Cascading, or
uncontrolled separation that adversely
impacts the reliability of the Bulk
Electric System for a planning event.’’
Reliability Standard FAC–008–5
ensures that Facility Ratings used in the
reliable planning and operation of the
Bulk Electric System (BES) are
determined based on technically sound
principles. A Facility Rating is essential
for the determination of System
Operating Limits.
Type of Respondents: TO& GO 3
Estimate of Annual Burden 4 and Cost:
The Commission estimates an increase
(adjustment) in the annual public
reporting burden for the FERC–725D. In
an effort to target similar NERC
Reliability Standards by family the
following manhours associated with two
FAC (Facilities) Reliability Standards
(FAC–008–5 and FAC–003–5) is being
transferred from 725A (1902–0244) to
the 725D (1902–0247), where other FAC

4 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.
