BREAKER BRIEF
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 28 TO OCTOBER 4, 2026 | BREAKERBRIEF.COM
NERC (North American standards)
Week of 2026-09-28. A quiet week: one final ballot closes in the next seven days, on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3, and it is the one new arrival. The nearest comment deadline on the calendar is on the Standards Processes Manual, due 2026-10-26.
Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing closed in the next seven days, nothing new arrived, and there was no business to clear. The final ballot on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 opened September 25 and closes October 5. This version lists it, adds the date the Standards Processes Manual ballot pool closes, and describes the twenty-one as tracked items rather than open ones.
