Abstract:
In a final rule in Dockets RM12-1 and RM13-9, the Commission approves Reliability Standard TPL-001-4. The new consolidated Reliability Standard TPL-001-4 does not impose entirely new burden. Much of the work had to be done under prior Reliability Standards TPL-001-0 through TPL-004-0. The net average annual burden change is 15,471 hours. After year three, the FERC will request to remove the one-time burden hours from the inventory. The underlying information collection requirements in the Reliability Standards (TPL-001-0 through TPL-004-0) are approved by OMB under FERC-725A (1902-0244). We are submitting this final rule under a new collection number and control number because of other rulemakings also affecting the FERC-725A collection. This new collection (FERC-725N) will only contain the information collection requirements that are part of the final rule in Dockets RM12-1 and RM13-9. The approved standard ensures that planning coordinators and transmission planners establish transmission system planning performance requirements within the planning horizon to develop a bulk electric system that will operate reliably and meet specified performance requirements over a broad spectrum of system conditions to meet present and future system needs. The Commission estimates that Reliability Standard TPL-001-4 affects 183 transmission planners and planning coordinators.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The change in burden is the result of the consolidated TPL-001 Reliability Standard. If this standard and the associated information collection requirements did not exist, there would be a reliability gap in the transmission planning, leading the system to potentially operate in a more unreliable condition.
