Status
Board Adopted: May 9, 2024

Filed with FERC: July 10, 2024

Background

The Version 5 Transition Advisory Group (V5 TAG) transferred issues to the Version 5 SDT that were identified during the industry transition to implementation of the Version 5 CIP Standards. Specifically, the issues that the SDT will address are:

Cyber Asset and BES Cyber Asset Definition
Network and Externally Accessible Devices
Transmission Owner (TO) Control Centers Performing Transmission Operator (TOP) Obligations
Virtualization

On January 21, 2016, FERC issued Order No. 822 Revised Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards. In this order, FERC approved revisions to version 5 of the CIP standards and also directed that NERC address each of the Order 822 directives by developing modifications to requirements in CIP standards and the definition of Low Impact External Routable Connectivity (LERC), or the SDT shall develop an equally efficient and effective alternative. To address concerns identified in Order 822, the Commission directed the following:

Develop modifications to the CIP Reliability Standards to provide mandatory protection for transient devices used at Low Impact BES Cyber Systems based on the risk posed to bulk electric system reliability.
Develop modifications to the CIP Reliability Standards to require responsible entities to implement controls to protect, at a minimum, communication links and sensitive bulk electric system data communicated between bulk electric system Control Centers in a manner that is appropriately tailored to address the risks posed to the bulk electric system by the assets being protected (i.e., high, medium, or low impact).
Develop a modification to provide the needed clarity, within one year of the effective date of this Final Rule, to the LERC definition consistent with the commentary in the Guidelines and Technical Basis section of CIP-003-6.

Standard(s) Affected –CIP-002, CIP-003, CIP-004, CIP-005, CIP-006, CIP-007, CIP-008, CIP-009, CIP-010, CIP-011, CIP-012-1, CIP-013

Purpose/Industry Need
The SDT will modify the CIP family of standards (or develop an equally efficient and effective alternative) to:

Address issues identified by the CIP V5 TAG;
Address FERC directives contained in Order 822; and
Address requests for interpretations as directed by the NERC Standards
