In accordance with Section 8.2 of the NERC Standard Processes Manual ("SPM"), notice is hereby provided that the Level 2 Appeals Panel shall meet via teleconference on June 29, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time to hear the Level 2 Appeal of Foundation for Resilient Societies, Inc. (the "Appellant"). The meeting of the Level 2 Appeals Panel shall be open to the public in "listen only" mode using the dial-in information provided above.
On January 4, 2015, the Appellant submitted a Level 1 Appeal related to the development of proposed Reliability Standard TPL-007-1 (Project 2013-03 Geomagnetic Disturbance Mitigation), to which NERC responded on February 18, 2015. On February 26, 2015, the Appellant initiated a Level 2 Appeal.
In accordance with Section 8 of the SPM, the review of the Level 2 Appeals Panel shall be limited to those issues that implicate a procedural action or inaction involving the processes or procedures described in the SPM. Issues relating to the technical content of a Reliability Standards action are outside the scope of the appeals process. In particular, the Level 2 Appeals Panel shall consider:
1. whether the Appellant is an entity with "directly and materially affected interests" with respect to the development or approval of proposed Reliability Standard TPL-007-1;
2. whether the Appellant has been or will be adversely affected by any procedural action or inaction related to the development or approval of proposed Reliability Standard TPL-007-1; and
3. whether the purported procedural action(s) or inaction(s) described by the Appellant relate to the NERC Reliability Standards processes as defined in the SPM, and not the technical content of the Reliability Standards action.
The Level 2 Appeals Panel shall not consider any expansion of the scope of the appeal that was not presented in the Level 1 Appeal.
In accordance with Section 8.2 of the SPM, the Level 2 Appeals Panel may find for the Appellant and remand the issue to the Standards Committee with a statement of the issues and facts in regard to which fair and equitable action was not taken, or may find against the Appellant with a statement of the facts that demonstrate fair and equitable treatment of the Appellant and its objections. The panel may not revise, approve, disapprove, or adopt a Reliability Standard, as these responsibilities remain with the ballot pool and Board of Trustees.
The Appellant's Level 1 Appeal complaint, NERC's response, and other relevant materials are posted here<http://www.nerc.com/pa/Stand/Pages/Project-2013-03-Geomagnetic-Disturbance-Mitigation.aspx>.
Section 8.2 of the SPM provides an opportunity for entities that are directly and materially affected by the procedural action(s) or inaction(s) referenced in the Appellant's Level 1 Appeal complaint to present their concerns to the Level 2 Appeals Panel. The Level 2 Appeals Panel will accept written comments from such entities until 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 8, 2015. Comments should be submitted to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask],%20Inc.%20>. Comments submitted to the Level 2 Appeals Panel shall be made a part of the public record of this appeal.
