Abstract:
FERC-725 Final Rule Justification: OMB Control Number 1902-0225 is the control number that the Commission will use to implement the final rule in RM22-12-000. The NOPR was comment and continued under 1902-0322 under 725(1C) temporary placeholder while 725 was awaiting approval (87 FR 74541). The Commission proposes to direct NERC, the Commission-certified ERO, to develop new or modified Reliability Standards that address several reliability gaps related to inverter-based resources (IBR) including data sharing; model validation; planning and operational studies; and performance requirements. Further, the Commission proposes to direct NERC to submit to the Commission an informational filing within 90 days of issuance of the final rule in this proceeding that includes a detailed, comprehensive standards development and implementation plan to ensure all new or modified Reliability Standards necessary to address the IBR-related reliability gaps identified in the final rule.
