The Controls Guidance and Compliance Failure Points document guides registered entities in assessing risks associated with their business activities and designing appropriate internal controls in response. To help your entity get started, WECC has identified generic control objectives to mitigate the risks associated with the risks associated with FAC-014-3. You may want to consider these three objectives: 

Control Objective 1: Ensure SOLs, including IROLs, are determined for all applicable Facilities based on an established SOL method. (Long-term Studies/Assessments, Operational Studies/Assessments)
Control Objective 2: Provide SOLs and Planning Assessment data to responsible entities. (Entity Coordination, Modeling Data) 
Control Objective 3: Ensure Planning Assessment performance criteria are equally limiting or more limiting than the RC SOL method. (Long-term Studies/Assessments)
 

The Controls Guidance and Compliance Failure Points document guides registered entities in assessing risks associated with their business activities and designing appropriate internal controls in response. To help your entity get started, WECC has identified generic control objectives to mitigate the risks associated with the risks associated with FAC-002-4. You may want to consider these two objectives: 

Control Objective 1: Study the impact of interconnecting new or changed Facilities on the Bulk Electric System. (Long-term Studies/Assessments)

Control Objective 2: Coordinate data required to conduct reliability impact studies. (Entity Coordination, Long-term Studies/Assessments)

The Controls Guidance and Compliance Failure Points document guides registered entities in assessing risks associated with their business activities and designing appropriate internal controls in response. WECC has identified generic control objectives to mitigate the risks associated with the associated risk categories and CIP-012-2. You may want to consider these three objectives:
