A Coordinated Functional Registration (CFR) is where two or more entities agree in writing upon a division of compliance responsibility for one or more reliability standards, requirements or sub-requirements applicable to a particular function (see the NERC Rules of Procedure, section 508, appendix 5A).
The ISO has CFR agreements that identify the reliability standards compliance responsibilities for each party registered under the transmission operator function for the transmission facilities within the ISO balancing authority. These agreements are filed with the WECC.
