Eight international standards are expected to be completed by the end of 2012. Three condition monitoring international standards are presently in the recirculation ballot process. The recirculation ballot will be open for 20 days. It is expected that the standards will be approved by REVCOM in March 2011.
The Chair reminded the SC Chairs that all standards not recently revised need to be updated (All standards older than 2007). The SC Chair needing additional membership resources for standard development are requested to contact S. Aggarwal for assistance. International participation in standard development is encouraged.
5.3 Discuss Plans for Revisions of Standards S. Aggarwal
SC-2 has a number of international members. SC-2.1 in particular has eight international countries represented. SC-2 is working with IEC on five condition monitoring standards. Three of the five standards are presently being balloted. SC2.1 is presently working with IEC SC45A in the harmonization of IEEE Std 323 with IEC Std 60780. The group recently met together in Seattle WA to evaluate the differences in the standards. Technically the documents are presently 90% in agreement.
SC-3 has no international members. IEEE Std 338 will be previewed at NPEC and request will be made to proceed to ballot. P1819 is a new standard under development in the area of risk informed categorization and has international appeal. IEEE Std 352 dealing with reliability is an old standard going through the reaffirmation process. After reaffirmation a PAR will be prepared to update the standard. IEEE Std 577 and 933 are presently being balloted. A PAR for revision of IEEE Std 1205 is presently under review.
SC-4 has one international member and other potential corresponding members are being considered. SC-4 has nine standards including IEEE Std 690 which was recently transferred into SC-4. There are presently 6 approved PARs in process and a PAR is need for revision of IEEE Std 690. One of the standards is going through the reaffirmation ballot process at this time. IEEE Std 741 has been recently approved but a PAR for reaffirmation or revision is being considered.
SC-5 has one international member from Canada. SC-5 has four approved standards. Revision two of the standards is required. IEEE Std 1289 is under an approved PAR and is presently being revised. A Par for revision of IEEE Std 1082 has been submitted. Plans are in place for updating standards with the exception of IEEE Std 1023 which was revised in 2004.
SC-6 has one international member from Japan. IEEE Std 379 currently being revised and is planned to be previewed at the N12-01 meeting. IEEE Std 384 being considering for revision. IEEE Std 420 will be preview at the NPEC N11-01 meeting. IEEE Std 497 (Accident Monitoring Instrumentation) being consideration as a joint international standard. SC-6 planning for future I&C standards development (including cyber security area).
5.4 O&P Manual Discussion S. Aggarwal
NPEC O&P requires a roll-call vote for determination of “Permission to Ballot” of a standard with a recording of names to feel out any negative votes. Chair requested a roll-call vote for “Permission to Ballot” at the NPEC N11-01 meeting be given by a show of hands to reduce the amount of time.
ADCOM discussion the proposal and voted to require a roll-call vote at the beginning of the meeting to establish the meeting quorum and a show of hands for ballot voting. The name of negative votes will be recorded if they wish their name to be recorded.

7. Unfinished/Old/Other Business:
7.1 NPEC presently as scheduler conflict in participating in the PES Super Session 2011 and possibly a conflict in 2012 because of the ANS conference arrangement.
8. New Business:
8.1 Need for new digital and I&C standards D. Harmon
· SC-6 presently looking for new areas to consider changes in digital I&C for Looking for topics for new standard work
· Cyber security for both safety and non-safety systems. Assistance is needed from other areas of IEEE PES.
· Smart sensors & actuators being considered
· Categorization of equipment between 1E and non-1E
