3 Pre-qualified Organization Procedure Compliance Processes and Procedures Subcommittee (CPPS) reviews pending applications during each quarterly CCC meeting CPPS provides recommendations to CCC CCC acts on CPPS recommendation CCC notifies ERO Enterprise to modify the pre-qualified list 3

4 List of Endorsement Documents Starting Point for Document Review (NERC Website) Document Measures RSAWs Guidelines White Papers Responses to Comments FAQs Webinars Lessons Learned Reports Purpose Provides a non-exclusive list of evidence to demonstrate compliance Worksheet used by CMEP auditors and may be used by entities to prepare for compliance monitoring Provides the technical basis for the standard Provides a technical basis for the standard Provides answers to industry questions or comments raised during standards development Provides answers to straightforward or simple industry questions Provides information related to the standards Provides answers to complex industry questions Provides historical information or trends 4

5 List of Endorsement Documents Document Type Results of Review Documents Available Status Standards Supporting Documents 24-5 documents ready for ERO endorsement - 7 documents potential candidates - 2 documents potential CMEP Practice Guides - 10 documents rejected Compliance Training, Workshop Materials and Webinars 15 Not relevant for ERO endorsement Compliance Process Bulletins 23 Probably not relevant, no further review Compliance Application Notices (CANs) Compliance Analysis Reports (CIP Transition Page) Guidance Documents Developed by Technical Committees 32 CANs related to CIP likely outdated with transition to CIP V5. Others pending further review 4 Need further review Numerous (Undetermined) Other Documents ERO Case Studies 1 Need further review Need to involve various technical committees to determine extent of documents to review RSAWs 120 To be reviewed by CPPS as separate phase of review 5

15 Coordinated Oversight of Multi-Region Registered Entities Stacy Dochoda, President and CEO, FRCC Compliance Committee May 4, 2016

16 Overview Objective is to improve efficiency for registered entities in multiple regions and increase consistency in compliance operations. One or more Lead Regional Entities (LREs) will coordinate all CMEP activities for each multi-region registered entity (MRRE) or group of MRREs. LRE will coordinate activities with the Affected Regional Entity (ARE). 2

17 Overview Each ARE will be involved in all aspects of CMEP activities related to the MRREs within their region. NERCwillcontinue to oversee allcoordinated activities. No effect on registration. Voluntary participation 3

18 Participation in the Program 4

19 Mechanism MRREs contact NERC or the Regional Entity, express interest in coordinated oversight LRE selectedbased on a number of factors, including: Location of highand medium Bulk Electric System impact assets Seams issues/registered functions Entity s footprint load, generation capacity, control centers, transmission interties 5

20 Mechanism LRE s responsibilities include: Ensureadequate resources Serve as primary regional interface for MRRE Coordinate with AREs for all aspects of CMEP activities as well as other activities (e.g. NERC Alerts) ARE s responsibilities include: Coordinate and participate with LRE in all aspects of CMEP activities 6

34 Coordinated Oversight Experiences Regional Entities provided opportunities to leverage coordination where possible Gradual evolution of coordination on ad-hoc basis Some alignment on Self-Certification schedules Coordinated CIP audits Joint enforcement activities with one Region taking lead Xcel Energy formally enrolled in Coordinated Oversight Program in

35 Pros and Cons Evaluated Full Coordinated Oversight (Everything Coordinated) Partial Coordinated Oversight (CIP Only) No Coordinated Oversight Expand positive coordination experiences Status quo with some additional coordination Existing Operations & Planning audit expectations maintained Pros Maximize consistency in practices and perspectives Reduced number of audits Slightly fewer data submissions Existing Operations & Planning audit expectations maintained Keeps matters within the respective Region Fewer data submissions No experience with joint Operations & Planning audit Inconsistent internal program (CIP different then Ops & Planning) Would have to revert back from progress made in coordination Cons Potentially less interaction with Associated Regional Entities (ARE) Continue volume of data submissions and more audits Some differences across Regions 7 7

36 On-going Activities Finishing prior open enforcement with respective Region New enforcement matters coordinated with Lead Regional Entity (LRE) Working with LRE on new opportunities as they arise Self-Certification Data submissions Future audits 8 8
