The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection called FERC-725D, which pertains to reliability standards for facilities design, connections, and maintenance. This involves transferring specific standards (FAC-003-5 and FAC-008-5) into FERC-725D to better manage vegetation around transmission lines and ensure reliable facility ratings. The public is invited to comment on the necessity, accuracy, and methods to improve or reduce the burden of this information collection, with comments due by March 28, 2025.
