NERC (North American standards)

Week of September 14, 2026. A quiet week: one comment window closes in the next seven days, 2026-02 Computational Loads on Friday, September 18, and no new project joined the list. The next deadline after that is a comment window on September 23, so this edition is short by honest necessity.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing closed in the next seven days and nothing new arrived. The initial ballots on 2026-02 Computational Loads opened September 9 and close with its comment window on September 18. This version lists them, adds the date the Standards Processes Manual ballot pool closes, and describes the twenty as tracked items rather than open ones.

Closing this week

Comments by Friday, September 18: the comment window on 2026-02 Computational Loads, with its initial ballots and non-binding polls, open since September 9, closing the same day.

Coming up

Comments by Wednesday, September 23: the comment window on 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold.

Friday, October 9: the ballot pool for Standards Processes Manual Revisions closes.

Comments by Monday, October 26: the comment window on Standards Processes Manual Revisions | Modernization of Standard Processes and Procedures Implementation. A full month of runway.

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, 2025-04 Order No. 901 Planning Studies, and 2025-03 Order No. 901 Operational Studies.
