Which entity is responsible for reviewing the restoration plan within 13 calendar months of the last review?

• A. Reliability Coordinator
• B. Balancing Authority
• C. Transmission Operator
• D. Generator Operator

Answer: (A)

Periodic review of the restoration plan by the entity responsible for coordinating the region’s reliability. The restoration plan outlines the actions needed to return the Bulk Power System to normal operation after a disturbance, and it must stay current with changes in resources, facilities, and procedures. The Reliability Coordinator oversees reliability across the interconnected system and coordinates restoration efforts among Balancing Authorities, Transmission Operators, and Generator Operators, so it is the entity charged with reviewing the plan on a regular cadence—within about 13 calendar months from the last review—to ensure all regions stay aligned and prepared. The other entities operate within their own domains (balancing, transmission, generation) and implement the plan, but the primary duty to review and maintain it lies with the Reliability Coordinator.
