SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725K (Mandatory
Reliability Standards for the SERC
Region).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0260.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725K information
collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) requires a
Commission-certified Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO) to
develop mandatory and enforceable
Reliability Standards, which are subject
to Commission review and approval.
Once approved, the Reliability
Standards may be enforced by NERC,
subject to Commission oversight, or by
the Commission independently.
Reliability Standards that NERC
proposes to the Commission may
include Reliability Standards that are

proposed by a Regional Entity to be
effective in that region. In Order No.
672, the Commission noted that:
As a general matter, we will accept the
following two types of regional differences,
provided they are otherwise just, reasonable,
not unduly discriminatory or preferential and
in the public interest, as required under the
statute: (1) a regional difference that is more
stringent than the continent-wide Reliability
Standard, including a regional difference that
addresses matters that the continent-wide
Reliability Standard does not; and (2) a
regional Reliability Standard that is
necessitated by a physical difference in the
Bulk-Power System.

When NERC reviews a regional
Reliability Standard that would be
applicable on an interconnection-wide
basis and that has been proposed by a
Regional Entity organized on an
interconnection-wide basis, NERC must
rebuttably presume that the regional
Reliability Standard is just, reasonable,
not unduly discriminatory or
preferential, and in the public interest.
In turn, the Commission must give ‘‘due
weight’’ to the technical expertise of
NERC and of a Regional Entity
organized on an interconnection-wide
basis.
On April 19, 2007, the Commission
accepted delegation agreements between
NERC and each of the eight Regional
Entities. In the order, the Commission
accepted SERC as a Regional Entity
organized on less than an

interconnection-wide basis. As a
Regional Entity, SERC oversees BulkPower System reliability within the
SERC Region, which covers a
geographic area of approximately
560,000 square miles in a sixteen-state
area in the southeastern and central
United States (all of Missouri, Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and
portions of Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky,
Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas and Florida). The
SERC Region is currently geographically
divided into five subregions that are
identified as Southeastern, Central,
VACAR, Delta, and Gateway.
For this renewal, there is only one
SERC region Reliability Standard, PRC–
006–SERC–3 (Automatic
Underfrequency Load Shedding
Requirements). PRC–006–SERC–3 is
applicable to these SERC entities, 27
planning coordinators (PC), 212
generator owners (GO), and UFLS
entities made up 70 transmission
owners (TO) and 95 distribution
providers.
Type of Respondents: Entities
registered with the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (within
the SERC region).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual
reporting burden and cost for the
information collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Dated: April 18, 2025.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Secretary.

1 ‘‘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, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

2 These values were derived from the NERC
Compliance data of February 12, 2025, using only
SERC unique United States registered entities.
3 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
is a combination based on the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS), as of 2024, for 75% of the average

of an Electrical Engineer (17–2071) $79.31/hr.,
79.31 × .75 = 59.4825 ($59.48-rounded) ($59.48/
hour) and 25% of an Information and Record Clerk
(43–4199) $44.74/hr., $44.74 × .25% = 11.185
($11.19 rounded) ($11.19/hour), for a total ($59.48
+ $11.19 = $70.67/hour).
