Current Standards Process for Reliability, Resilience, and Security
The current standards process focuses on ensuring reliability, resilience, and security in regulatory directives. It involves remanding standards to committees, convening technical conferences, re-ballingoting within 45 days, and considering input for further work. The process also covers the initiation of new sections, issuing notices and directives, and acting on urgent reliability issues. Special rules apply for standards not meeting regulatory directives.
