North American Electric Reliability Corporation; Notice of Staff 
Review of Enforcement Programs

    Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act,\1\ 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,\2\ and the Compliance Exception (CE) Program, as proposed 
by NERC's September 18, 2015 annual Compliance Filing and accepted by 
delegated letter order.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(e).
    \2\ N. Am. Elec. Reliability Corp., 138 FERC ] 61,193, at P 73 
(2012) (FFT Order) (discussing Commission plans to survey a random 
sample of FFTs submitted each year to gather information on how the 
FFT program is working).
    \3\ 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 FFTs).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commission staff reviewed a sample of 32 of 232 FFTs and 33 of 
1,089 CEs submitted by NERC between October 2023 and September 2024.
    Commission staff found that the FFT and CE programs are meeting the 
Commission's expectations in accordance with the FFT Order. All 65 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 and CEs and agreed with the 
final risk determinations for all 65 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 65 of the sampled noncompliances as 
appropriate to be processed as FFTs and CEs.

    Dated: August 29, 2025.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Secretary.
