NERC

A single comment window closes this week: comments on the CIP-008 reporting threshold modifications close Wednesday. After that, the next comment deadline is 2026-10-26.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said the standards calendar was quiet until late October and that the next deadline was more than a month out. This version states the next comment deadline, adds the date the Standards Processes Manual ballot pool closes, and describes the twenty as tracked items rather than open ones.

Closing this week

2026-09-23: Comments close on 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold. It is the only comment window closing this week, and the next comment deadline on the calendar is 2026-10-26, so if you have a view on the reporting threshold, Wednesday is the day it needs to be on the record.

Coming up

2026-10-09: the ballot pool for Standards Processes Manual Revisions closes.

Comments by 2026-10-26: Standards Processes Manual Revisions | Modernization of Standard Processes and Procedures Implementation.

The wide view

NERC's project list holds twenty items, all tracked. The Standards Committee has discontinued 13 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 2026-02 Computational Loads, 2025-06 Supply Chain Risk Management, and the pair of Order No. 901 items covering planning studies and operational studies.
