In reading the responses of other committ ee members concerning this meeting room issue, it does seem like DOE should have had a plan to provide meeting rooms for this important DOE transformer comm ittee to meet and make decis ions. However, we don't want this issue to hinder or delay our impor tant mission of setting efficiency standards. We will pay our pro-rated share of the cost to insure that this co mmittee has a place to meet and make the necessary dec isions in a timely manner.

Sincerely; Jerry

Cc: Richard Parker Subject: Distribution Transformers Committee Meeting Budget



### Dear Distribution Tran sformer Stakeholders,

My name is Caitlin Johnson and I have been working with Richard Parker at Navigant Consulting to help organize the series of mee tings that you will be attending as part of the upcoming negotiated rulemakings on distribution tr ansformers. As you know, the first meetings are going to be held this month (later this week for the MV group, and towards the end of the month for the LV group). I am currently workin g on finding appropriate times and locations for the remainder of the meetings. Although we were able to book space with DOE for many of

### them, there are still a few dates for which we have not been able to reserve space in DOE, so we have been searching for out side facilities instead.

One of the spaces that is available to us on one of our necessary dates, Nov. 9-11 th 

### , is the

conference center at Pew Charita ble Trust in downtown DC. I ha ve drawn up a tentative budget, attached to this email, for booking the Center . The budget breaks down the tentative price by organization, based on which committees they pa rticipate in and how many people they are sending. It also includes a potentia l pro-rated price, in which th e cost for nonprofit organizations is halved (though, of course, all of this can be negotiated).

Please let me know what you think of this budget and whether it seems appropriate, because we need to book a space for this meeting as soon as possible. Additionally, if you know of any other spaces that may be available to us (either for this date, Nov. 9-11 th 

### , or some date in early December), please let me know! We woul d be eager to hear your suggestions!

Best,

Caitlin Johnson
