D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 15, § 3603
3603.1 The electric utility shall implement a plan to improve the performance of the two (2) percent least performing feeders such that no feeder in the two (2) percent least performing group shall repeat as a member of the two (2) percent least performing feeders following implementation of the plan.3603.2 Individual feeder performance shall be determined using the utility's composite performance index.3603.3 If the utility fails to comply with Section 3603.1, it shall be required to develop a corrective action plan.3603.4 The corrective action plan shall clearly describe the cause(s) of the utility's non-compliance with Section 3603.1 (including an explanation as to why a particular feeder has remained on the list after the implementation of the plan in 3603.1), describe the corrective measure(s) to be taken to ensure that the standard is met or exceeded in the future, and provide a target date for completion of the corrective measure(s).3603.5 The utility shall report on the progress of the corrective action plan in the Annual Consolidated Report submitted to the Commission.3603.6 The utility shall continue the current reporting of the worst performing (lowest two (2) percent) feeders (utility methodology) and corresponding corrective action plans, with the action taken in year 1 and the subsequent performance in year 2 in the annual Consolidated Report.3603.7 The utility shall complete service restoration within twenty-four (24) hours following a non-major service outage.3603.8 The utility shall report on the number and percentage of non-major service outages that extend beyond the twenty-four (24) hour standard and the reasons each such outage extended beyond the twenty-four (24) hour standard.3603.9 The report drafted pursuant to Section 3603.8 shall be included in the annual Consolidated Report on reliability data.3603.10 The utility shall not exceed the reliability performance standards established for the following indices, calculated using District of Columbia data: System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) (stated in hours).3603.11 The reliability performance standards adopted by the Public Service Commission for SAIDI and SAIFI are established as follows:
3603.12 The calculations of the indices shall exclude District of Columbia OMS data for either Major Service Outages or for Major Event Days (MEDs). No later than January 1, 2013, the utility shall notify the Commission which method of excluding OMS data it will use and shall not change its selection without prior authority from the Commission. Major Event Days shall be determined in a manner consistent with the I.E.E.E. Standard 1366-2003 Guide for Electric Power Distribution Reliability Indices, provided that only District of Columbia outage data is used in the selection of MEDs.
3603.13 If the utility fails to comply with subsection 3603.10, it may be subject to forfeiture in accordance with D.C. Official Code § 34-706 and 34-1508 (2010 Repl.).

3603.14 The corrective action plan shall clearly describe the cause(s) of the utility’s failure to comply with subsection 3603.10, describe the corrective measure(s) to be taken to ensure that the standard is met or exceeded in the future, and provide a target for completion of the corrective measure(s).
3603.15 The utility shall report on the progress of the corrective action plan in the following year's Consolidated Report submitted to the Commission.
3603.16 The utility shall also, per the orders of the Commission, continue current requirements of reporting annual reliability indices of SAIFI, SAIDI and CAIDI (with and without Major Service Outages and Major Event Days) in the annual Consolidated Report of the following year.
3603.17 No earlier than June 30, 2015, the utility may request the Commission to reevaluate the reliability performance standards established in subsection 3603.11 for the years 2016 through 2020 and thereafter.
