Status 
The Balancing Authority Controls Standard Drafting Team will be holding its first meeting May 14-15, 2008 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Please see the NERC Meetings page for details.

Purpose/Industry Need 
The purpose of this set of four standards is to ensure that Balancing Authorities take actions to maintain interconnection frequency with each Balancing Authority contributing its fair share to frequency control and without burdening transmission facilities with excessive imbalances of load and generation.

This SAR is intended to address the following:

§        FERC Final Rule “Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System, FERC Order 693” on the NERC standards BAL-002, 004, 005, and 006

§        To specify the Time Error Correction, special Area Control Error cases, and Inadvertent Interchange reliability requirements/business practices with NERC and NAESB collaborative participation

§        To incorporate the necessary content, structure, and language to comply with the NERC standards process 

This SAR expands on the work already under way with the BAL-004, 005, 006 SARs, by requiring that BAL-002, 004, 005, and 006 be upgraded in accordance with the NERC Reliability Standards Development Plan 2007–2009.
