WECC (Western US reliability)

Two electricity windows close in the next seven days: the Standards Processes Manual revisions and the FERC-725S information collection, both due Monday, October 26. Behind them, FERC has three information collection comment requests open, running to December 14.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition called the Standards Processes Manual revisions the only window closing and counted three FERC information collection windows. It left out the FERC-725S information collection, which closed the same day. This version lists it and describes the 24 as tracked items rather than open ones.

The through line: FERC's information collections

Four of the electricity comment windows in front of WECC readers this autumn are FERC information collection requests. The first closes October 26 and the last in mid-December, and they arrive one after another. Two of the four were published in the last seven days.
