NERC Submits Proposed TOP/IRO Reliability Standards for Approval, Withdraws Proposed Reliability TOP/IRO Standards

On March 18, 2015, in Docket No. RM15-16, NERC submitted a petition seeking Commission approval of the following proposed Transmission Operations (TOP) and Interconnection Reliability Operations and Coordination (IRO) Reliability Standards: TOP-001-3, Transmission Operations; TOP-002-4, Operations Planning; TOP-003-3, Operational Reliability Data; IRO-001-4, Reliability Coordination-Responsibilities; IRO-002-4, Reliability Coordination-Monitoring and Analyses; IRO-008-2, Reliability Coordinator Operational Analyses and Real-time Assessments; IRO-010-2m Reliability Coordinator Data Specification and Collection; IRO-014-3, Coordination Among Reliability Coordinators; and IRO-017-1, Outage Coordinators.
