Project 2008-04

Modifications to FAC-010-1, FAC-011-1, and FAC-014-1 for FERC Order 705

Registered Ballot Body | Related Files | Reliability Standards Home Page | Drafting Team Rosters

Status
The Standards Committee authorized posting the standards for a 30-day pre-ballot review starting May 2, 2008.

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In addition, the Commission remanded the definition of “Cascading Outage” and this term should be withdrawn from the NERC Glossary of Reliability Terms.
