NERC Antitrust Compliance
Guidelines
It is NERC’s policy and practice to obey the antitrust laws and to
avoid all conduct that unreasonably restrains competition. This
policy requires the avoidance of any conduct that violates, or
that might appear to violate, the antitrust laws. Among other
things, the antitrust laws forbid any agreement between or
among competitors regarding prices, availability of service,
product design, terms of sale, division of markets, allocation of
customers or any other activity that unreasonably restrains
competition. It is the responsibility of every NERC participant
and employee who may in any way affect NERC’s compliance
with the antitrust laws to carry out this commitment.

neighboring TOP Areas

SDT made a good faith effort to address comments within
constraints of project inputs
Although 8 of 9 standards passed in second posting, all is
dependent on TOP-001-3 as standards are tightly intertwined
and can’t be filed in pieces
If TOP-001-3 doesn’t pass, then all fail
FERC remand kicks in if Project 2014-03 isn’t filed by January
31, 2015
• Result would be specific directives from FERC on how to revise TOP and
IRO standards
