Abstract:
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. The 725K collection was modified by the Commission order in Docket No. RD22-1-000. The modification to FERC 725K is due to the dissolution of the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) into the SERC region. FERC 725K was modified by RD22-1-000 by updating the SERC regional requirements to be compatible with the reliability requirements of the Florida Peninsula as well as incorporating additional entities required to comply with the collection.

Short Statement:
The Docket No. RD22-1-000 approves PRC-006-SERC-03 which are the Electric Reliability Standards for the SERC region. The updates to the requirements slightly reduce burden and is described in question 12 and 15 of the supporting statement. However, the overall burden increases as a result of a large increase of the number of firms in the SERC region. This occurred due to the disillusion of the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC), which was absorbed into the SERC region, prompting the revisions of the standards in Docket No. RD22-1-000. The increase of firms, therefore, increased the number of entities required to comply with FERC 725K, which explains the increase of overall burden.
