Standards Committee
Status:
FERC Approved:
http://www.nerc.com/files/LetterOrderApproving_Appendix-3A_02052010.pdf
Purpose/Industry Need:
The Reliability Standards
Development Procedure contains all the procedures governing the
standards development process. During some of the recent Board of
Trustees meetings, the board took actions that require conforming
modifications to the Reliability Standards Development Procedure:
In October 2008, the
board directed the Standards Committee to modify the
standards development process to address standards
developed in response to national security emergency
situations.
In February 2009, the
board directed the Standards Committee to change the
standards development process to change the way
violation risk factors and violation severity levels are
developed and approved. These modifications were
proposed by the board’s Corporate Governance and Human
Resources committee after posting its proposal for
stakeholder comment.
Excerpts from the meeting minutes
for each of the above board meetings have been posted at
http://www.nerc.com/filez/sc.html.
Note that the Standards Committee has several additional suggestions for
modifications to the standards development process, but has decided to
separate modifications directed by board actions from other
modifications.
