Modifications to
FAC-010-1, FAC-011-1, and FAC-014-1 for FERC Order 705 Related Files
Status: The Board of Trustees adopted
these FAC standards on June 24, 2008 and are pending regulatory approval.
Purpose/Industry Need:
The purpose of revising these standards is a result of:
FERC Order 705, the Commission directed NERC to make the following
modifications:
FAC-011-1 Requirement R2.3.2 — eliminate the phrase, “load greater
than studied”
Replace levels of non-compliance with Violation Security Levels
In addition, the Commission remanded the definition of “Cascading
Outage” and this term should be withdrawn from the NERC Glossary of
Reliability Terms.
Note that in the version of FAC-011-2 that was posted for
pre-ballot review, there was an error in the initial sentence of the Severe
Violation Severity Level for Requirement R3 that has now been corrected as
follows:
The Reliability Coordinator has a methodology for
determining SOLs that is missing a description of
threefour or more of the following:
R3.1 through R3.7.
