The request for public comments on the draft NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 2.0 was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2011. The Federal Register version of the document is available for download here. A draft is also available at the NIST WIKI site here.

The deadline for public comments is November 25, 2011 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

You may send written comments to the Office of the National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 8100, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8100, or by email at nistsgfwcmts@nist.gov.

Comments may also be posted on the wiki Website above, which contains earlier versions of the document as well. In particular, it is requested that comments be categorized as 1) technical; 2) editorial; or 3) general. If a comment is not a general comment, please identify the relevant page, line number, and section the comment addresses.

This continues the process of evolution of the framework for interoperability standards for the Smart Grid, and further input from the SGIP will be sought to help resolve the comments as they are received.
