Project 2014-02 Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards Version 5 Revisions
 
Status:
NERC filed the Reliability Standards developed during Project 2014-02 at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Reliability Standards are pending regulatory approval. However, the Project 2014-02 CIP Version 5 Revisions Standard Drafting Team requested additional time to collaborate with the NERC CIP RSAW development team to draft the RSAWs after the standard development process concluded. Therefore, the RSAWs are posted for industry comment, but there is no concurrent comment period or ballot being conducted regarding the Reliability Standards.
Background:
On November 22, 2013, FERC issued Order No. 791, Version 5 Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards. In this order, FERC approved version 5 of the CIP standards and also directed that NERC make the following modifications to those standards:
  1. Modify or remove the “identify, assess, and correct” language in 17 CIP version 5 requirements.
  2. Develop modifications to the CIP standards to address security controls for Low Impact assets.
  3. Develop requirements that protect transient electronic devices.
  4. Create a definition of “communication networks” and develop new or modified standards that address the protection of communication networks.

FERC directed NERC to submit new or modified standards respondin​g to the directives related to the “identify, assess, and correct” language and communication networks by February 3, 2015, one year from the effective date of Order No. 791. FERC did not place any time frame for NERC to respond to the Low Impact and transient electronic devices directives.  The purpose of the proposed project is to address the directives from FERC Order No. 791 to develop or modify the CIP standards.

Please note: To avoid the inconvenience for the industry to join
15 separate ballot pools, we have set up one for the ballots (on the standards and definition) and one for the non-binding polls.
Once the ballot pools close, individual ballots will be
created by carrying over the members of the ballot pools.
There will be a separate ballot for each of the 7 standards, the definition
and 7 non-binding polls.
