A quiet week with one comment deadline: comments on the Canadian-specific revisions to EOP-012-3 are due Monday, August 31. After that, ballot pools close September 3 and September 7, and the next comment deadline is September 18.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition called August 31 the one live deadline, said the calendar was clear until late September, and left out other open electricity windows. This version lists them and describes the twenty as tracked items rather than open ones.

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 comment 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

Thursday, September 3: the ballot pool for 2026-02 Computational Loads closes.

Monday, September 7: the ballot pools for 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold close.

Friday, September 18: comments are due on 2026-02 Computational Loads.

Wednesday, September 23: comments are due on 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold. That leaves room to plan rather than scramble.

The wide view

NERC's project list holds twenty items, all tracked. The Standards Committee has discontinued 12 of them under its current process, with an intent to reconsider them under the new standards intake process. Apart from the windows above, the rest have no comment window open, among them 2025-06 Supply Chain Risk Management, 2025-05 Ride-Through Revisions, and 2025-04 Order No. 901 Planning Studies. When any of these opens a window, it moves up this page.
