SAR Location and Background

The Standard Authorization Request (SAR) is currently located at the DT’s project page on the SAR Form accordion.

The drafting team reviewed proposed Posting 1 and agreed by consensus to post the document for a 45-day period. Mr. Black briefed the team on possible hurdles when trying to argue that the WECC Standard was not as stringent as the NERC Standard. To be successful the team will need to argue against the arguments made by WECC when the document was first approved by FERC.

The team agreed by consensus to post Posting 1 for a 45-day comment period. The posting would open May 31, 2017 and close July 18, 2017. The team would meet again to answer comments on July 27, 2017 and August 1, 2017, both meeting to run from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Mountain).
