[Docket No. RC11-6-018]
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\ N. Am. Elec. 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\ N. Am. Elec. Reliability Corp., Docket No. RC11-6-004, at 1
(Nov. 13, 2015) (delegated letter order) (accepting NERC's proposal
to combine the evaluation of CEs with the annual sampling of FTs)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commission staff reviewed a sample of 32 of 173 FFTs and 30 of 889
CEs submitted by NERC between October 2022 and September 2023.
Commission staff found that the FFT and CE programs are meeting
expectations. All 62 FFTs and CEs have been adequately remediated and
the root cause of each noncompliance was clearly identified. Commission
staff also reviewed the supporting information for these FFTs or CEs
and agreed with the final risk determinations for all 62
noncompliances, which clearly identified the factors affecting the risk
prior to mitigation (such as potential and actual risk) and actual
harm. Further, no FFTs or CEs sampled contained any material
misrepresentations by the registered entities. Commission staff found
that the Regional Entities appropriately identified all 62 of the
sampled noncompliances as appropriate to be processed as FFTs and CEs.
Dated: August 16, 2024.

Acting Secretary.
