COVERUP UPDATE: CIP Violation Database and FOIAs

Updated on 29 June 2020

FOIA Lawsuit and CIP Violation Database: Exposing the NERC CIP Coverup

I created the CIP violation database to disclose to the public the identities of violators of Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards as my investigation continues. These identities have been covered up by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) since 2010. [Read details of the coverup and my investigation HERE.] Unfortunately, I have been forced to file a lawsuit against FERC under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) due to FERC’s delay and denial of my FOIA requests. Details on my FOIAs and the lawsuit are all posted below.

Here is the current status of the CIP coverup and my FOIAs

Date Updated: 6/27/2020
   
Total URE Dockets: 263
FOIAs Filed for: 259
Total UREs *: 1495
   
FOIA URE Names Released: 10
FOIA URE Names Denied: 85

* Note: As of 2019 NERC is also hiding the number of UREs covered in spreadsheet NOPs, so we can no longer accurately determine the number of URE’s involved.

SCROLL DOWN FOR CIP VIOLATION DATABASE!

Background

I have filed 4 FOIA requests (so far) for the names of UREs (“Unidentified Registered Entities”) which is the industry euphemism for “covered up company name.” In addition, I was also forced to file a FOIA to get NERC’s and the utility industry’s objections to my FOIAs (ridiculous, I know). I also had to file a FOIA to disprove the electric industry’s assertion that FERC has officially blessed off on withholding the names of CIP violators – and there were no responsive documents. So the industry is misrepresenting this (or lying, depending on how charitable you’d like to be).

As a result of my December 2018 FOIA request, January 2019 FOIA Request and August 2019 FOIA request I will be getting the names a few at a time from FERC and will update the database as I get them. (Read FERC’s first response letter HERE.) Note that I have objected to FERC’s “rolling” treatment of my FOIA requests which appear to be a delay tactic to appease the industry.

As of June 26, 2020 FERC has processed only 88 of 259 dockets under my FOIA lawsuit. 

At this rate, it will take FERC about 2 years to process my FOIAs.

Unfortunately, I do not think this unacceptable delay is anything other than an attempt by FERC to constructively deny the FOIA. The Court agreed and on January 28, 2020 issued an order requiring FERC to process 10-15 dockets per month until production is complete.

I will continue to work in FERC rulemaking and Motions to intervene (see HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE) to fix this NERC coverup permanently.

It is also important to note that the entire electric utility industry is actively fighting these FOIAs. This is an extraordinary level of objection to disclosure of regulatory actions that the American people have the right to know about!

I will only be posting the names that are confirmed. For example, you will find that in Docket NP18-7 the violator is Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). This was confirmed by a previous FOIA I filed.

The Database gives you details on all the covered up CIP violations to date and will be updated with the names of “UREs” as I receive them.

FOIA Documents
I will post the FOIAs and all responses, disclosures, denials and appeals below.
