Title

Estimate Federal Impact

Control

Providers SHOULD promptly estimate the likely adverse impact of an incident on agency customers to assign a Potential Agency Impact N-rating; this step is called Incident Rating.
- **N1** for a likely minimal customer effect on 1 or more agencies.
- **N2** for a likely narrow customer effect on 1 or more agencies.
- **N3** for a likely disruptive customer effect on 1 agency.
- **N4** for a likely debilitating customer effect on 1 agency or a likely disruptive customer effect on more than 1 agency.
- **N5** for a likely debilitating customer effect on more than 1 agency.

Discussion

All incidents must be assigned a default PAIN-5 as required by IEC-CSO-DPR (Default PAIN Rating) if this step is not completed.
