Status

A final ballot for PRC-005-6– Protection System, Automatic Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure Relaying Maintenance concluded 8 p.m. Eastern, Monday, October 26, 2015. The ballot results can be accessed via the links below. The standard will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for adoption and then filed with the appropriate regulatory authorities.

Background
FERC approved Standard PRC-005-3 and, in Paragraph 31, directed NERC to:

"...direct that, pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the FPA, NERC develop modifications to PRC-005-3 to include supervisory devices associated with auto-reclosing relay schemes to which the Reliability Standard applies. Further, we clarify that NERC’s proposal regarding the scope of supervisory devices is an acceptable approach to satisfy the Commission directive. Specifically, NERC proposed in its NOPR comments, and we find acceptable, that the scope of the supervisory devices to be encompassed in the Reliability Standard are those providing voltage supervision, supervisory inputs associated with selective auto-reclosing, and sync-check relays that are part of a reclosing scheme covered by PRC-005-3."

In addition, NERC filed a petition for approval of PRC-005-4 on December 18, 2014 and currently a notice of proposed rulemaking has been issued by FERC pending comments due back form industry by June 15, 2014.

PRC-005-5 was adopted by the Board on May 7, 2015 and is pending regulatory filing.
