Task Force Report
• Final report of the U.S.- Canada Power System Outage Task Force on the 2003 blackout concluded:
the single most important recommendation for preventing future blackouts, and reducing the
scope of those that occur, is for the U.S. government to make reliability standards mandatory and enforceable.

Audit Approach and Best Evidence
William FletcherSenior Compliance Auditor,
Operations and Planning
![Page 49: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Compliance Audit (on-site vs. off-site)
• Primary difference is:– Location of audit conduct
• Scope is typically smaller for off site.• On-Site – Required for RC, BA, TOP functions
• Per NERC Rules of Procedure 403.11.2
![Page 50: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Compliance Audit (on-site vs. off-site)
• On-Site– Documentation sent to WECC before audit for preliminary review– The audit team reviews evidence during off-site week or the first week of the
audit and completes its review during the second week or on-site week– Data Requests or DRs– In-person interviews for clarification
• Off-Site– Documentation sent to WECC before audit for preliminary review– Data Requests or DRs– Entity may be present at audit if desired– Telephone interviews for clarification
![Page 51: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Audit Approaches
•We audit to the Requirements of the Standards•General Approaches included in RSAW•RSAW may ask specific questions•Always includes the section:
“Describe, in narrative form, how you meet compliance with this requirement.”
![Page 52: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Audit Approaches
“Describe, in narrative form, how you meet compliance with this requirement.”
• Describe here how your company knows it is compliant with this requirement and how you know you have been compliant for the entire period of the audit.
• Your place to describe your internal controls.• Your evidence should support your narrative.
![Page 53: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Audit Approaches
• List the evidence provided in the RSAW.o This road map is important
• Compliance Assessment Approach in RSAW is used as a checklist.o Data Request (DR) for gaps or samples
• Document & record review is primary• Interviews and observations are usually for
Corroborating
![Page 54: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Sufficient Audit Evidence
Sufficiency of Evidence• The measure of the quantity of evidence• Quantity of evidence is dependent on the scope of
the audit• Extra quantity does not make up for poor quality• Ensure you provide enough evidence to demonstrate
compliance for the entire audit period.

Sufficient Audit Evidence
Sampling is used to limit the amount of detailed evidence provided.• Normally used in conjunction with summary of a full
set of data.• Sampling used to assess details.• Reduces the burden on the Audit Team but not really
on the Entity• Audit Team must select the samples
![Page 56: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Appropriate Audit Evidence
AppropriatenessThe measure of the quality of evidence• Relevance• Validity• Reliability
![Page 57: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Appropriate Audit Evidence
Quality of Evidence• Good Internal Controls point to reliable evidence.• Direct observation is more reliable than indirect observation.• Examination of original documents is more reliable than
examination of copies.• Testimonial evidence from system experts is more reliable
than from personnel with indirect or partial knowledge.
![Page 58: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
Types of Evidence
• Physical Evidence• Documentary Evidence• Testimonial Evidence
Compliance Audits may use all three types but Documentary Evidence is by far the most frequent type of evidence assessed and relied on.
![Page 59: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
59
Testimonial Evidence
• Attestations of Compliance or Statements of Compliance are generally not accepted as the only available evidence.
• Attestations may be used to explain minor gaps in documentation or to state if no conditions occurred which are subject to a requirement.
• Attestor must be knowledgable and qualified.
![Page 60: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
Evidence for Procedural Documents
The characteristics of a valid procedural or policy document include: – Document title – Definition or Purpose– Revision level – Effective dates – Authorizing signatures
![Page 61: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
Non Applicable Requirements
Three instances are acceptable for use of term “Not Applicable”1) Entity is not registered for the applicable
function. (only TOP responsible for TOP requirements)
2) Entity does not own, operate or maintain the equipment addressed by the requirement. (UVLS, UFLS, SPS etc.)
3) Entity does not use the program or process specified by the requirement. (and is not required to… ATC, CBM, etc)
![Page 62: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
Evidence for Tasks Performed
• When the standard calls for a task to be performed it must be documented.– Records– Logs– Reports– Work Orders– Phone recordings– Transcripts of phone recordings– Shift Schedules
• Dates & Times are critical
![Page 63: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
Evidence of “Coordination” with other entities
• Typical evidence provided initially is a single email.“…If you have any comments please contact ______”
This alone is neither sufficient or appropriate to demonstrate coordination between two or more parties.
• If emails or correspondence are used– Two way communications are needed
• Better are:– Meeting Agendas– Meeting Minutes– Attendance Lists
![Page 64: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Evidence of “Distribution” of information
• Typical evidence provided initially is a single email with a large distribution list.“…please see attached”
This alone is typically neither sufficient or appropriate to demonstrate distribution to others.
• If emails or correspondence are used– Need clear identification of the personnel on the distribution list.
• Even Better is corroboration by receipt acknowledgement
![Page 65: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

WECC Enforcement Case Managers
Primary Role: Determining Violation Disposition (disposition analysis)
• Case analysis• Violation Disposition• Policy analysis• Assess penalties• Conduct settlements • Build relationships
![Page 85: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)

86
Disposition Analysis
• Dismissal• Find, Fix and Track (“FFT”)• Notice of Alleged Violation (“NOAV”)• Expedited Settlement Agreement (“ESA”)
![Page 87: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Dismissal
• Disposition method used when the Case Manager determines the possible violation is not enforceable – For Example…– Standard Requirement does not apply to Entity– Facts and circumstances warrant a violation of a
different Standard Requirement– Entity produced additional evidence
demonstrating compliance
![Page 88: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
88
What does a dismissal look like?
• Case Manager will issue a “Notice of Dismissal and Completion of Enforcement Action”
• WECC: – Withdraws the Possible Violation from Entity’s compliance
record– Any data retention directives relating to the possible
violation are released
• Entity: – Does not need to respond to notice– Questions/concerns contact Case Manager
![Page 89: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
89
Not a Dismissal, Now what?
• Dismissal• Find, Fix and Track (“FFT”)• Notice of Alleged Violation (“NOAV”)• Expedited Settlement Agreement (“ESA”)
![Page 90: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)

PVs for FFT Review
WECC Reviews All PVs for FFT Treatment“Strong” FFT Candidates:• Are not Repeat PVs• PV does not reveal programmatic or systematic
shortcomings• Found and Fixed by the Entity• Mitigation Plan has been submitted
![Page 91: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
91
What does an FFT look like?
• WECC Enforcement will issue a “Notice of Find, Fix and Track”– Remediation Required– No Penalty or sanction– FFT is filed with NERC but does not become a
“confirmed violation”
• FFT will become part of an Entity’s compliance history
![Page 92: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
92
What to do with an FFT?
• Within five (5) days of receiving an FFT Notice an Entity Must:
• Submit to WECC an affidavit, signed by an officer with knowledge of remediation,
OR• Submit to WECC written notification opting out of
the FFT processing– If an Entity opts out of the FFT disposition, then WECCs
policy is to issue the violation through the traditional NOAV process.
![Page 93: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)

94
What does a NOAV look like?CMEP Section 5.3
• NERC Rules of Procedure, Appendix 4C §5.3 (“CMEP”)• Alleged Violation Facts• Mitigation Plan Summary (if applicable)• Enforcement Violation Determinations
– BES Impact Statement• Minimal• Moderate• Severe
– Violation Severity Level (“VSL”)– Violation Risk Factor (“VRF”)
• Penalty
![Page 95: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
95
What to do with a NOAV?
• Submit a NOAV Response within 30 days • The NOAV Response must conform to one of
three options– Agree with the violation AND penalty– Agree with the violation, but contest penalty– Contest both the violation AND penalty
• Failure to submit a NOAV Response within 30 days will automatically result in confirmed violations with penalties
![Page 96: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
96
NOAV Response: “Option 1” Does not contest
• Does not contest violation facts as alleged in the NOAV
• May identify errors that should be corrected in the “Notice of Confirmed Violation” (“NOCV”)
• Submit a Mitigation Plan
Enforcement will issue a Notice of Confirmed Violation within ten (10) days of receiving a NOAV Response that “agrees with or does not contest an alleged violation.”
![Page 97: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
97
NOAV Response: “Option 2” Contests Penalty
• NOAV Response will be submitted to Enforcement using the EFT Server within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the NOAV.
• Submit a Mitigation Plan.• NOAV Response must explicitly contest penalty and
request settlement.– NOAV Response must articulate basis for each penalty– NOAV Response should include a proposed penalty the Entity
believes to be reasonable including the basis for proposed penalty
![Page 98: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
98
NOAV Response: “Option 3”Contests Alleged Violation & Penalties
• NOAV Response must be submitted to Enforcement using the EFT Server within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the NOAV.
• NOAV Response must explicitly contest each alleged violation and proposed penalty and request settlement.
• Each Contention must be supported by:– An explanation of the Entity’s position– Basis for Contention– Additional Information or evidence
![Page 99: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
99
A Word on Penalties
• Attached to violations disposed of using the NOAV or ESA processes
• Based on: – NERC Sanction Guidelines (January 31, 2012)– Penalty Range
• Penalty range depends upon Violation Severity Level (“VSL”) and Violation Risk Factor (“VRF”)
• Penalties are then adjusted for either Mitigating or Aggravating Factors
![Page 100: WECC COMPLIANCE 101 Webinar Thursday, October 9, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d6f5503460f94a50e68/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
