Reliability Begins With Planning
SPP serves as the reliability and compliance authority for its footprint.
Compliance with the FERC-approved NERC and SPP Regional Standards is mandatory for Registered Entities, which includes SPP Members, as well as all users, owners, and operators of the Bulk Electric System in the SPP Region. All Registered Entities must accept the responsibility to observe and comply with all applicable NERC and SPP Regional Standards, and are encouraged to contribute to their development and continued improvement.
Consistent with this responsibility, SPP has established the procedures contained in the Year 2009 Compliance and Enforcement Program to assess, review, and enforce the compliance of Registered Entities with these standards.
Enforcement
The SPP RE follows NERC's Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program (CMEP) to monitor, assess, and enforce compliance with the NERC and SPP Reliability Standards. This is accomplished through compliance monitoring and rigorous proactive Compliance Audits.
All Registered Entities are responsible for compliance with all NERC and SPP Regional Reliability Reliability Standards applicable to the functions for which the Registered Entity is registered. Compliance Audits are conducted on the Registered Entity's site to the extent required by NERC Rule of Procedure 403.11.2. All Compliance Audits will be conducted in accordance with audit guides established for the Reliability Standards.

Complaints against the SPP RE or a Registered Entity
The complainant should notify NERC or the SPP Regional Entity using the NERC compliance hotline, submitting a NERC Compliant reporting form, or by other means. A link to the Complaint reporting form will be posted and maintained on the NERC and SPP RE websites.

Compliance Data Management System
The SPP compliance department uses a web-based Compliance Data Management System (CDMS) for tracking and reporting compliance information. The CDMS tool uses a personal entity login that is registered to a contact for each entity. Please contact compliance staff at 501-614-3273 for access to the CDMS. The CDMS is the primary tool for compliance reporting in the SPP footprint.
You may access SPP's CDMS tool here. (Registered entities may acquire prior years' data by contacting the SPP RE. |
