Staff presented its recommendation at the March 13, 2002 Commission meeting, and a description of Staff's proposal is posted on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/ calendar/commissionmeetings/discussion_papers.htm. The March 21, 2002 notice asked that persons interested in participating in the conference inform the Commission of their interest by March 28, 2002.

The Commission received responses from the persons listed on Appendix A indicating an interest in participating in the conference. As we explained in the prior notice, the conference will consist of short presentations by panels of interested parties, including full requirements (FR) shippers, contract demand (CD) shippers, state representatives and El Paso. Based on the requests filedby persons interested in participating on the panels, the following agenda is established.

First, El Paso will make a brief presentation addressing the practical impact and feasibility of implementation of Staff's proposal on the El Paso system. This presentation will be followed by three panels. Two representatives from El Paso will remain at the table during the panels to address any questions.

The first panel will consist of representatives of the state commissions, i.e., the Arizona Corporation Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission.

The second panel will consist of participants with the interests of FR shippers. Specifically this panel will include one representative of each of the following companies: Arizona Electric, APS/Pinnacle, El Paso Electric, El Paso Municipal Group, Phelps Dodge, Public Service Company of New Mexico, Salt River, Southern Union, and Southwest Gas.

The third panel will consist of participants with interests of CD customers. Specifically, this panel will consist of representatives from each of the following companies or groups: Dynegy, MGI Supply, ONEOK, SoCal Edison, SoCal Gas, and the Southern California Generation Coalition. In addition, there will be three representatives from Indicated Shippers on this panel.

Each panel will have one hour to make its presentation, but individual presentations should be limited to approximately five minutes. Shorter presentations are encouraged where possible. After the presentations, time will be allotted for questions to the panelists.

Parties should submit the names of the individuals participating on the panels on or before Wednesday, April 10, 2002. This information should be submitted by e-mail to Robert.Petrocelli@ferc.gov with a copy to Ingrid.Olson@ferc.gov.
