Status: FAC-013-2 and its associated implementation plan and VRFs and VSLs, and new definitions for Near-term Planning Horizon and Year One were approved by the Board of Trustees on January 24, 2011.
Purpose/Industry Need: In Order 729, FERC ruled that the ATC standards developed in Project 2006-07 did not completely address the topics covered in FAC-012 and -013. Accordingly, the FERC denied the portions of the implementation plan that would have retied these standards, and instead directed changes to the FAC standards to be made and submitted back to the FERC no later than 60 days prior to the effective date of the standards. This SAR is being created in response to the FERC Order.
