Title: Electric Reliability Organization Interpretation of Specific Requirements of the Disturbance Control Performance Standard 
Abstract: Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to remand the proposed interpretation of Reliability Standard BAL–002–1, Disturbance Control Performance, Requirements R4 and R5, submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization. Specifically, the interpretation addresses whether Balancing Authorities and Reserve Sharing Groups are subject to enforcement actions for failing to restore Area Control Error within the 15-minute Disturbance Recovery Period for Reportable Disturbances that exceed the most severe single Contingency. The Commission proposed to remand the proposed interpretation because it changes a requirement of the Reliability Standard, thereby exceeding the permissible scope for interpretations (Docket No. RM13-6-000).
