Common use of Commission Findings Clause in Contracts

Commission Findings. We accept section 5.1(iv) of the Uniform Compliance Program, without revision. GSOC’s recommendation that notices of an alleged violation should be required to state whether the alleged violator saw its violation as an economic choice is unnecessary. While the ERO Certification Order required that a Regional Entity or NERC justify a penalty determination, in part, on these grounds, a section 5.1(iv) notice may not be the appropriate forum for doing so. A notice of alleged violation, rather, is a notice that the compliance enforcement authority concludes that evidence exists that an entity violated one or more requirements of a reliability standard, not a determination of penalty. Such a notice, then, need not address this factor.
