[Docket No. RC11-6-012]
North American Electric Reliability Corporation; Notice of Staff
Review of Enforcement Programs
Commission staff coordinated with the staff of the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to conduct the annual oversight
of the Find, Fix, Track and Report (FFT) program, as outlined in the
March 15, 2012 Order,\1\ and the Compliance Exception (CE) Program, as
proposed by NERC's September 18, 2015 annual Compliance Filing and
accepted by delegated letter order.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ North American Electric Reliability Corp., 138 FERC ]
61,193, at P 73 (2012) (discussing Commission plans to survey a
random sample of FFTs submitted each year to gather information on
how the FFT program is working).
\2\ North American Electric Reliability Corp., Docket No. RC11-
6-004, at 1 (Nov. 13, 2015) (delegated order) (accepting NERC's
proposal to combine the evaluation of CEs with the annual sampling
of FFTs).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commission and NERC staff reviewed a sample of 63 noncompliances--
29 of 215 total FFT noncompliances and 34 of 1,103 total CE
noncompliances posted by NERC between October 2019 and September 2020.
Commission staff found that the FFT and CE programs are meeting
expectations. The Regional Entities appropriately included all 63 of
the sampled noncompliances in the FFT and CE programs, and all 63 FFTs
and CEs were adequately remediated and the root cause of each
noncompliance was clearly identified. Commission staff also reviewed
the supporting information for these FFT and CE noncompliances and
agreed with the final risk determinations, which clearly identified the
factors affecting the risk prior to mitigation (such as potential and
actual risk) and actual harm. Finally, Commission staff noted that the
FFTs and CE noncompliances sampled did not contain any material

misrepresentations by the registered entities.
