DESCRIPTION: After conferring with other Independent
System Operator (ISO) staff and North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) staff, ERCOT has determined that Market Participants (MPs) accessing
ERCOT Systems via Digital Certificates do not need to fulfill the requirements
of Training and Personnel Risk Assessment identified in NERC Standard CIP-004-1,
Cyber Security – Personnel &
Training, by July 1, 2008 as originally contemplated. MPs will need to complete the
NERC-required Training and Personnel Risk Assessment pursuant to the timeline
applying to each of their companies.
ERCOT Protocol Section
16.11, User Security Administrator and
Digital Certificates, specifies the requirements for issuing Digital
Certificates to users by the User Security Administrator. Compliance with these
Protocol requirements is necessary and sufficient for MP users who access ERCOT
Systems.
