COM-001-3 Project 2015-07: I nternal Communications Capabilities

FERC Order No. 808 Directives • In FERC Order No. 808, the Commission directed NERC to address the following:  Address “internal communications capabilities that could involve the issuance or receipt of Operating Instructions or other communications that could have an impact on reliability.” Order No. 808, at P 1. o Address internal telecommunications or other internal communication systems “between geographically separate control centers within the same functional entity.” Order No. 808, at P 41. o Address internal telecommunications or other internal communication systems “between a control center and field personnel.” Id. o Address “[t]he adequacy of internal communications capability whenever internal communications could directly affect the reliable operation of the Bulk- Power System.” Id. 5 RELI ABI LI TY | ACCOUNTABI LI TY

COM-001-3 • COM-001-3 is a modified version of COM-001-2  Proposed Requirement R12 addresses Reliability Coordinator, Balancing Authority and Transmission Operator responsibilities.  Proposed Requirement R13 addresses Distribution Provider and Generator Operator responsibilities.  Two separate requirements were necessary to address different VRFs based on the risks associated with different functional registrations.  Capabilities are not limited but encompass any medium that allows two or more individuals to interact, consult, or exchange information as stated in the NERC Glossary of Terms. 6 RELI ABI LI TY | ACCOUNTABI LI TY

COM-001-3 Requirement and Measure • Each (R12: Reliability Coordinator, Transmission Operator, and Balancing Authority) (R13: Distribution Provider and Generator Operator) shall have internal Interpersonal Communication capabilities for the exchange of operating information. [Violation Risk Factor: High] [Time Horizon: Real-time Operations] • Each (M12: Reliability Coordinator, Transmission Operator, and Balancing Authority) (M13: Distribution Provider and Generator Operator) shall have and provide upon request evidence that it has internal Interpersonal Communication capability, which could include, but is not limited to:  physical assets, or  dated evidence, such as, equipment specifications and installation documentation, operating procedures, test records, operator logs, voice recordings, transcripts of voice recordings, or electronic communications.  Examples include, but are not limited to, between geographically separate control centers within the same functional entity, or between a control center and field personnel. 7 RELI ABI LI TY | ACCOUNTABI LI TY

Next Steps • Draft standard package posted Initial 45-day comment period and 10-day ballot September 25, 2015. • Next standard drafting team (SDT) meeting is scheduled for the week of November 30, 2015. • If the proposed standard passes and there are no substantive revisions to the initial ballot, the standard will be posted for a 10-day final ballot and presented at the February 2016 NERC Board of Trustees Meeting. 8 RELI ABI LI TY | ACCOUNTABI LI TY
