FERC Seeks Comment on Extending Emergency Reporting Rules

## Summary

FERC is asking for public comments to extend the approval of its Emergency Preparedness and Operations reporting rules (FERC-725S) for three more years. No changes are planned, so the same info will be collected to keep the electric grid safe and reliable. If you’re involved in energy or emergency planning, you’ve got until August 20, 2026, to share your thoughts—no extra costs or new paperwork coming your way!

## Abstract

In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collection FERC- 725S (OMB Control No. 1902-0270), Emergency Preparedness and Operations (EOP) Reliability Standards. There are no proposed changes to the reporting requirements.

- No new paperwork or changes: benefit, low. The Commission states there are no proposed changes to FERC-725S reporting, so affected entities will not face additional or new paperwork beyond current requirements. The extension preserves the current reporting regime rather than creating new reporting obligations.
- Estimated hours and dollar burdens listed: cost, high. The notice provides detailed per-standard burden estimates, including examples: EOP-004-4 total 13,264 hours and $842,530 annually; EOP-005-3 total 30,576 hours and $1,942,188 annually; EOP-011-4 total 38,240 hours and $2,429,005 annually; and EOP-012-3 total 105,920 hours and $6,728,038 annually.…
