Short Statement: In Docket No. RD25-7-000, NERC petitioned the Commission for approval of revisions to the EOP standards from EOP-012-2 to EOP-012-3. Due to the revision, the Commission is removing its estimates for EOP-012-2 and replacing them with our estimates for EOP-012-3. Thus, the removal includes all of the one-time costs associated with EOP-012-2. This results in a total reduction of -1210 responses and -6,050 hours which were the onetime costs. Further, the addition of +1,314 responses and +5,256 burden hrs. associated with EOP-012-3 caused a decrease in the total Program change by Agency discretion of -300 responses and -1,602 hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $7,978
