allow the record to be supplemented to address the market need for the proposed project. The purpose of the conference is to provide an opportunity for parties to provide new information, not to restate positions or information already in the record. In addition, the Commission is particularly interested in hearing from elected officials concerning their analysis and views of the project.

The conference will be held in the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, in the Commission Meeting Room, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Any party wishing to participate in the conference should submit a written request to the Secretary of the Commission by September 21, 1999. The request should indicate the scope of the participants' planned remarks. Because of time constraints, parties with common interests are encouraged to designate a single speaker to represent their views. The Commission will review the requests and the requesters, and will select the participants in the conference based on the number of requests to speak and the issues to be addressed. Speakers that have audio/visual requirements should contact Wanda Washington at (202) 208-1460.
