The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and renew the information collection requirements in FERC-725K under OMB Control No. 1902-0260. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 was developed to be consistent with the NERC Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS) Reliability Standard PRC-006-3. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 was designed to ensure that automatic UFLS protection schemes designed by planning coordinators and implemented by applicable distribution providers and transmission owners in the SERC Region are coordinated to effectively mitigate the consequences of an underfrequency event. The regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02 added specificity not contained in the NERC UFLS Reliability Standard for UFLS schemes in the SERC Region. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02 effectively mitigates (in conjunction with NERC Reliability Standard PRC-006-3) the consequences of an underfrequency event while accommodating differences in system transmission and distribution topology among SERC planning coordinators resulting from historical design criteria, makeup of load demands, and generation resources. Under the regional Reliability Standard, the information is used to ensure compliance with requirements associated with underfrequency load shedding plans. Without this information, it would be difficult to enforce compliance with the regional standard. A lack of compliance with this regional standard may lead to uncontrolled failure of the Interconnection.

There are no program changes to in the FERC-725K information collection. An increase in the estimate made to the burden hours and respondents totaled out to be +201 annual responses and +3,144 annual Burden hours. The total requested is 404 annual responses and 6,868 annual burden hours. Adjustments to the agency estimate is due to additional entities being added into the SERC region when Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) ceased operations as a regional entity
