An entity may register as a Joint Registration Organization (JRO) on behalf of one or more of its members or related entities.

• This JRO registration must be for one or more functions for which the members or related entities would otherwise be required to register. The JRO accepts on behalf of its members or related entities all compliance responsibility for the Reliability Standards applicable to that function or functions, including reporting requirements. Typical examples of organizations that should consider a JRO are the joint action agencies or the generation-and-transmission cooperatives.
  
• Any entity seeking to register as a JRO must submit a written agreement with its members or related entities for all Requirements/sub-Requirements for the function(s) for which the entity is registering for and takes responsibility for. RF Registration will review the JRO application and may request additional information. Approved JROs and CFRs are registered with NERC and listed on NERC's Compliance Registry page.
  
• Registered Entities wishing to register a JRO must complete a JRO web form in CORES and submit it to the Region for review and verification that the agreement provides for the proper assignment of responsibilities consistent with the JRO.
  
• The JRO point of contact must provide RF with any changes to the JRO document. Please see the NERC Rules of Procedure, Section 500, specifically sections 507 and 508.
• RF Registration will review the CFR application and may request additional information. Approved CFRs are registered with NERC and listed on NERC's Compliance Registry page.
• For questions about JROs or other registration-related issues, please contact RF Registration.
