BREAKER BRIEF
WEEK OF AUGUST 24 TO AUGUST 30, 2026 | BREAKERBRIEF.COM
NERC (North American standards)
A quiet week with one live deadline: comments on the Canadian-specific revisions to EOP-012-3 are due Monday, August 31. After that, the calendar is clear until late September.
Closing this week
Monday, August 31 is the deadline to comment on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3. It is the only window closing this week, which makes the choice simple: this is the one to read first.
What moved
The comment window on 2023-09 Risk Management for Third-Party Cloud Services closed on Friday, August 21, and the project drops off the actionable list.
Coming up
Wednesday, September 23: comments are due on 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold. That is the next deadline on the calendar, so there is room to plan rather than scramble.
The wide view
Twenty items are still open in NERC, all tracked. Among them are 2026-02 Computational Loads, 2026-01 PRC-006 Standard Updates, 2025-06 Supply Chain Risk Management, 2025-05 Ride-Through Revisions, and 2025-04 Order No. 901 Planning Studies, with 15 more behind them. When any of these opens a window, it moves up this page.
