Supply Chain Risk Management Reliability Standards Revisions; Supplemental Notice of Supply Chain Workshop
As announced in the Notice of Supply Chain Workshop issued in this proceeding on February 24, 2025, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) will hold a joint workshop on March 20, 2025, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EDT at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.
The workshop will focus on the "assessment" aspect of supply chain risk management (SCRM). Specifically, the workshop panels will discuss the proposed directive in the Commission's September 19, 2024, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking? 1 to require that entities establish steps in SCRM plans to validate the completeness and accuracy of information received from vendors during the procurement process to better inform the identification and assessment of supply chain risks associated with vendors' software, hardware, or services.
