The Commission established its Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) rules in Order Nos. 630 and 630-A. Information provided to the Commission in FERC-603 is necessary to that verification process and essential to keeping critical energy infrastructure information out of the hands of individuals that may do harm to this nation. Since its initial inception, FERC-603 has been modified to make it more efficient while obtaining the information needed. For example, on November 17, 2016, in Order No. 833, the Commission adopted a Final Rule to implement provisions of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) by amending its regulations to add processes for the designation, protection, and sharing of Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information (CEII). The Commission defined the term “Critical Electric Infrastructure Information” to include “Critical Energy Infrastructure Information” as defined under the Commission’s regulations and determined to refer to both types of information, collectively, as Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information (CEII). The current procedures require that each CEII requester file a signed, written request in which he/she provides to the CEII Coordinator detailed information about himself/herself and their need for the information, along with an executed non-disclosure agreement. Commission staff verifies and utilizes this information to determine whether to release the CEII to the requester. Commission staff verifies each requester when each request is made. Information provided to the Commission in FERC-603 is necessary to the verification process and essential to keeping sensitive information out of the hands of individuals that may do harm to this nation.
