The workshop will be open to the public. Although there is no registration to attend, staff is requesting some information from potential attendees to help prepare for the workshop.                

                    The workshop will focus only on technical issues related to completing and filing the Form No. 549D, “Quarterly Transportation and Storage Report for Intrastate Natural Gas and Hinshaw Pipelines” using either a fillable Form PDF (                    *http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​forms/​form-549d/​form-549d.pdf*) or XML (                    *http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​forms/​form-549d/​form-549d-schema.xsd*) file.                     *This workshop is not intended to lead to any type of further order in the proceeding.*                     In addition, the workshop will not address any aspect of the Notice of Inquiry under Docket No. RM11-4-000. Any future clarifications regarding the use of the fillable Form, XML, and further instructions that result from discussions at the workshop will be communicated via the FERC Web site at                     *http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​forms.asp#549d.*

                    (1) Blank fillable Form 549D, at                     *http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​forms/​form-549d/​form-549d.pdf*

(2) Data dictionary and instructions in the Appendix of Order 735-A

                    (4) eFiling Procedures                     *that pertain to the fillable Form and XML files.*

This information will assist Staff in preparing for the Technical Workshop, but will not bind filers to a specific filing method in the future.                

                    An agenda for the workshop will be issued in a later notice. This technical workshop will                     *not*                     be webcast and will                     *not*                     be transcribed.
