Proposed Criteria for Determining Scope of Section 215 Activities – Request for Comments

The 2012 FERC audit of NERC requires a justification for a number of historical activities that NERC provided over the years. Included in the mix is justification for continuing support of pc-GAR, Manufacturer’s Support Systems (MSS), benchmarking work, and special studies. FERC wants testimonials (letters) from users (generating companies, ISOs, consulting groups, manufacturers, etc.) as to why NERC should continue supporting these works. Otherwise, NERC cannot provide anyone with those services or the GADS data outside NERC. 

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is requesting comment on its proposal to adopt criteria for use in determining whether particular activities are within the scope of Section 215 of the Federal Power Act and thus may be funded under Section 215.
