The Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) needs an efficient process for commenting on NERC SARs and Standards, and for advising the MRO regarding these Standards when they are being balloted by NERC. The MRO Board has tasked the Standards Committee (SC) with making these comments. Due to the limited time that NERC provides for submitting comments, the MRO has developed a process that clearly defines the various roles of those involved in developing these comments. The SC has established a standing Subcommittee, the NERC Standards Review Subcommittee (NSRS), and tasked it with the role of carrying out this process for all NERC SARs, Standards, and policies that are posted for public comment. The Chair of the SC may task the NSRS with reviewing documents out for comment from other industry entities, such as FERC, DOE or NAESB, on a case-by-case basis.
This Subcommittee:
- will need to have experienced operating and planning personnel
- should have representation from each MRO sector
- representation should ensure adequate geographic coverage
