§ 141.58 Report of impending emergen

cies, load reductions, and/or service interruptions in bulk electric power supply and related power supply facilities.

(a) Definitions. For the purpose of this rule, a bulk electric power supply interruption shall be any interruption or loss of service to customers of any electric utility, licensee or other entity engaged in the generation or transmission of electric energy caused by or involving an outage of any generating unit or of electric facilities operating at a nominal voltage of 69 kv or higher. In determining the aggregate of loads which are interrupted, any load which is interrupted in accordance with the provisions of contracts permitting interruption in service hall not be included. If the interruption affects only a single ultimate customer, the interruption need not be reported. For the purpose of this rule, a report or a part of a report may be made jointly by two or more entities.

(b) Telephonic reports. Every electric utility, licensee or other entity engaged in the generation or transmission of electric energy shall report promptly to the appropriate Regional Office of the Commission by telephone any event as described in subparagraph (1), (2), (3). (4), or (5) of this paragraph:

(1) Any decision to issue a public request for reduction in use of electricity (FPC is to be notified at the time of issuing any such request.)

(2) Any action to reduce firm customer loads by reduction of voltage for reasons of maintaining adequacy of bulk electric power supply. (FPC is to be notified at the time of taking such action.)

(3) Any action to reduce firm customer loads by manual switching, operation of automatic load-shedding devices, or any other means for reasons of maintaining adequacy of bulk electric power supply. (FPC is to be notified at the time of taking such action.)

(4) Any bulk supply outage or accident to system facilities of consequence on a regional or national basis or constituting an unusual hazard to the bulk electric power supply system. (FPC is to be notified within one hour of occurrence or as soon as practicable after the event is recognized as being applicable for reporting hereunder.)

(5) Any loss in service for 15 minutes or more of bulk electric power supply tc aggregate loads in excess of 200.000 kw. See paragraph (d) of this section for description of information to be reported. (FPC is to be notified as soon as practicable without unduly interfering with service restoration and, in any event, within one hour after the beginning of the interruption.)

The above events are to be reported to the appropriate Regional Office of the Commission in accordance with the current directory of FPC representatives and telephone numbers.

(c) Telegraphic or telephonic reports. (1) Every electric utility licensee, and other entity engaged in the generation or transmission of electric energy shall report any event as described below to the appropriate Regional Office of the Commission by telephone or telegram addressed to the Regional Engineer, Federal Power Commission, as shown in the current directory.

(2) These reports are to be made no later than the beginning of the Commission's next regular work day (Mon

day-Friday) after the interruption occurred. Events requiring a report are as follows:

(i) Any loss in service for 15 minutes or more of bulk electric power supply to aggregate loads exceeding the lesser of 100,000 kw or half of the current annual system peak load, and not required to be reported under paragraph (b) of this section. See paragraph (d) of this section for information to be reported.

(d) Information to be reported. The information supplied in the initial report should include at least the approximate territory affected by the interruption, the time of occurrence, the duration or an appraisal of the likely duration if service is still interrupted, an estimate of the number of customers and amount of load involved, and whether any known critical services, such as hospitals, pumping stations, traffic control systems, etc. were interrupted. To the extent known or suspected, the report desirably will include a description of the initial incident resulting in the interruption. The Commission or its representative may require further reports during or after the period of interruption and restoration of service, such reports to be made by telephone, telegraph or letter, as required.

(e) Special investigations and reports. (1) If so directed by the Commission or the Chief, Bureau of Power, an entity experiencing a condition, as described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, shall submit a full report of the circumstances surrounding such occurrence and the conclusions the entity has drawn therefrom. The report shall be filed at such time subsequent to the submittal of the initial report by telephone or telegraph as may be directed by the Commission or the Chief, Bureau of Power.

(2) The report shall be prepared in such detail as may be appropriate to the severity and complexity of the incident experienced and should include an account understandable to the informed layman in addition to the following technical and other information:

(1) The cause or causes of the incident clearly described, including the manner in which it was initiated.

(ii) A description of any operating conditions of an unusual nature preceding the initiation of the incident.

(iii) If the incident was an interruption and geographically widespread, an

enumeration of the sequence of events contributing to its spread.

(iv) An account of the measures taken which prevented further spreading in the loss of service, e.g., manual or automatic load shedding, unit isolation, or system sectionalization. These actions and all chronicled events should be keyed to a record of the coincident power frequencies which occurred.

(v) A description of the measures taken to restore service with particular evaluation of the availability of start-up power and the ease or difficulty of restoration.

(vi) A statement of the capacity of the transmission lines into the area of load interruption, the generating capacity in operation in the area at the beginning of the disturbance, and the actual loading on the generating units and, where available, the loading on the lines at that time. When actual loadings are not available, estimate the line loadings at the time to the extent possible.

(vii) A summary description of any equipment damage and the status of its repair.

(viii) A description of the impact of any load reduction or interruption on people and industries in the affected area, including a copy of materials in the printed news media indicative of the impact.

(ix) Information on the steps taken. being taken, or planned by the utility, to prevent recurrence of conditions of a similar nature, to ease problems of service restoration, and to minimize impacts on the public and the customers of any future conditions of a similar nature.

(f) Generating equipment availability data. (1) The Commission takes note that the Edison Electric Institute has for several years collected and summarized information on generating equipment availability and has recently expanded its facilities for recording and processing this information. Recognizing that a large part of the industry, including a number of utilities which are not members of EEI, contribute information to and receive reports from this data system and that it is desirable to avoid duplication, it is anticipated that this source of information may serve to meet the needs of both industry and regulatory commissions for information which is of increasing importance from the standpoint of power supply reliability.

(2) It is understood that all electric utilities are eligible to participate in the computerized EEI data storage, retrieval, and analysis system, and the Commission encourages participation in order that the data files may be as complete as possible. Therefore, no general order for reports on generating unit outages is contemplated unless the needed information is unavailable from the EEI records.
