(« Régie des services publics ») "registered entity" means an owner, operator or user of the bulk power system in Manitoba, and any designee who (a) meets the criteria in the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection 3(3) to be listed on the NERC Compliance Registry; and (b) is required to be listed on that registry by a compliance body or as a result of a decision of the Public Utilities Board. (« entité enregistrée ») Adoption of reliability standards for Manitoba 2 A reliability standard made by the MRO or the NERC that is listed in Schedule 1 is adopted as a reliability standard for Manitoba, and takes effect on the date listed opposite the standard. Designation of compliance body for Manitoba 3(1) For the purpose of clause 15.0.1(1)⁠(d) of the Act, the MRO and the NERC are authorized to monitor compliance with reliability standards adopted for Manitoba. 3(2) A compliance body is responsible for carrying out the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program. 3(3) Despite any provision to the contrary in an agreement between a compliance body and an owner, operator or user of the bulk power system in Manitoba, the following NERC Rules of Procedure in effect on April 12, 2011 are adopted as the rules of procedure for the operation of a compliance body in Manitoba: (a) Sections 201, 202, 301-312, 315-321, 501-508, 601-606, 801-805, 901, 902, 1003, 1101-1106, 1108, 1301-1305, 1401 and 1402; (b) Appendices 3A, 3B, 4B (excluding Sections 1, 2, 3.1-3.7, 3.20, 3.21, 6.5 and 6.6), 5A, 5B and 6. 3(4) If there is a conflict between the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection (3) and the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program, the Program prevails. 3(5) If there is a conflict between the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection (3) and any other Manitoba law, Manitoba law prevails. 3(6) Manitoba Hydro must publish the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection (3) on its website. Registration on the compliance registry 4(1) For the purpose of establishing and maintaining the NERC Compliance Registry, the MRO must identify every owner, operator and user of the bulk power system in Manitoba that may be required to be listed on the NERC Compliance Registry. 4(2) On receiving notice from the MRO, an owner, operator or user identified under subsection (1) must (a) submit to the MRO an application for a determination as to whether the person should be listed on the NERC Compliance Registry; and (b) provide the MRO with the information required by the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection 3(3) to allow a determination to be made as to whether the person should be listed on the NERC Compliance Registry. 4(3) A registered entity has the rights and obligations of a registered entity set out in the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program. Who must comply with reliability standards 5 A registered entity must comply with each adopted reliability standard in Manitoba that is stated to apply to that entity or category of entities. M.R. 98/2014 Transferring the duty to comply 6(1) Despite section 5, an owner, operator or user of the bulk power system in Manitoba who is otherwise required to comply with a reliability standard may enter into a transfer agreement with another person (a "designee") to transfer the obligation to comply with a requirement of the standard to that person. 6(2) A transfer referred to in subsection (1) (a) must take place in accordance with this section and the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection 3(3); and (b) may be made only to a person listed on the NERC Compliance Registry. 6(3) A designee must comply with each requirement of a reliability standard for which compliance has been transferred to it, and has the rights and obligations of a registered entity set out in the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program with respect to each transferred requirement. 6(4) While a transfer agreement is in effect, the owner, operator or user who made the transfer need not comply with the requirement that has been transferred. 6(5) A requirement may not be transferred if the reliability standard itself prohibits the transfer. PUB authorized to resolve disputes 7(1) The Public Utilities Board is authorized to consider and resolve the following matters: 1. If a compliance body has found that a person should be listed on the NERC Compliance Registry, that person may apply to the board to challenge the finding. After considering the application, the board may either confirm the finding or decide that the person is not required to be listed. 2. If a compliance body has found that a person is subject to a particular reliability standard, that person may apply to the board to challenge the finding. After considering the application, the board may either confirm the finding or decide that the person is not subject to the reliability standard. 3. A person may apply to the board to challenge the application in Manitoba of a by-law or a rule of procedure or practice of the compliance body that directly affects that person. After considering the application, including what is in the public interest, the board may decide that the by-law or rule of procedure or practice (a) is in effect in Manitoba; or (b) is not in effect in Manitoba. 7(2) In addition, the board may resolve the following disputes: (a) a dispute about a matter arising under the NERC Rules of Procedure adopted under subsection 3(3), on the application of a compliance body or a registered entity; (b) any dispute that the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program states is to be resolved by the board. 7(3) The board may make a decision under this section despite any other provision of this regulation. No disclosure of confidential information 8 Any information that a registered entity provides to a compliance body is confidential, and a compliance body must not release or disclose such information to a third party without the written consent of the registered entity that provided it. However, consent of the registered entity is not required for the MRO or the NERC to (a) release or disclose such information to each other; or (b) release or disclose to the Public Utilities Board any information that may be required for the MRO or the NERC to make an application to the board. Fees payable to compliance body 9(1) Manitoba Hydro must pay to the NERC the fees, based on the principle of net energy for load, related to making or enforcing reliability standards and other associated activities of a standards body or compliance body. 9(2) In this section, "net energy for load" means Manitoba's power requirement expressed in megawatt hours calculated as gross power generation in Manitoba, plus power imported into Manitoba at interchange, less power exported from Manitoba at interchange. Reliability standards made by Manitoba Hydro 10 In making standards for the electricity system in Manitoba under section 15.0.2 of the Act, Manitoba Hydro must not make standards that are less stringent than or not compatible with the reliability standards adopted for Manitoba. Transitional 11 A person who is an owner, operator or user of the bulk power system in Manitoba and who is not listed on the NERC Compliance Registry on the day this regulation comes into force (a) is not required to submit an application to the MRO under subsection 4(2) until 60 days after the day this regulation comes into force or, if the owner, operator or user has applied to the Public Utilities Board under item 1 of subsection 7(1), until the board has resolved the matter; and (b) is not required to comply with the reliability standards adopted under section 2 until 180 days after this regulation comes into force or, if the owner, operator or user has applied to the Public Utilities Board under item 2 of subsection 7(1), until the board has resolved the matter.
