The Commission also approves four new definitions and 18 modified definitions in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Glossary of Terms Used in Reliability Standards. To address concerns regarding a proposed self-implementing exception phrase (\"per system capability\") that appears in multiple provisions of the modified CIP Reliability Standards, the Commission directs NERC to develop a clear set of criteria that satisfies the fundamental needs for oversight, consistency, and alternative mitigation when a responsible entity invokes the per system capability exception. NERC, the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO), submitted the proposed modifications to update the CIP Reliability Standards to enable the application of virtualization and other new technologies in a secure manner.","document_number":"2026-05716","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/24/2026-05716/order-no-919-virtualization-reliability-standards","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-24/pdf/2026-05716.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-05716.pdf?1774269914","publication_date":"2026-03-24","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Energy Regulatory Commission","name":"Federal Energy Regulatory Commission","id":167,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-energy-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/167","parent_id":136,"slug":"federal-energy-regulatory-commission"}],"excerpts":"CIP-004-8 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Personnel &amp; Training) \n • CIP-005-8 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Electronic <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Perimeter(s)) \n \n • CIP-006-7.1 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Physical <span class=\"match\">Security</span> of BES Cyber Systems) \n 27 \n \n \n \n \n 27 \n  \n See \n NERC Supp. Petition at 3 (making errata corrections to several CIP <span class=\"match\">Standards</span>, designated with a “.1” in the version number, \n e.g., \n CIP-006-7.1).\n \n \n • CIP-007-7.1 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Systems <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Management) \n • CIP-008-7.1 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Incident Reporting and <span class=\"match\">Response</span> Planning) \n • CIP-009-7.1 (Cyber <span class=\"match\">Security</span>—Recovery Plans for"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards","type":"Notice","abstract":"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the Agency.
