After detecting a failure of interpersonal communication capability lasting 30 minutes or more, entities must be notified within what timeframe?

The requirement for notifying entities after detecting a failure of interpersonal communication capability lasting 30 minutes or more is set at a timeframe of 60 minutes. This aligns with regulatory best practices aimed at ensuring rapid responses to communication failures, which are critical in maintaining the reliability and security of electric power systems.

Prompt notification enhances situational awareness among involved parties, allowing them to take appropriate actions to mitigate any potential risks associated with the communication failure. By establishing a 60-minute notification window, the standard ensures that entities have the necessary time to assess the situation and implement measures to restore effective communication channels, thereby safeguarding the overall operation of the electric power sector. This timeframe is both practical and effective in fostering timely collaboration and decision-making among entities.
