Status
For Board of Trustees approved nine sets of VSLs on February 28,
2008.
Purpose/Industry Need
The FERC, in the Order on Compliance
Filing dated June 7, 2007 (Docket #RR06-1-007), directed NERC to replace
the "Levels of Non-compliance" (in the 83 standards it approved) with
"Violation Severity Levels."
NERC, as the ERO, is required to comply
with FERC directives. By
replacing the existing ‘Levels of Non-compliance’ with ‘Violation
Severity Levels’ the ERO’s Sanctions Guidelines can be used as designed.
The Sanctions Guidelines use ‘Violation Severity Levels’ as an element
in determining the size of a sanction.
