Symposium on Process and Reform:

Public Access to Information and

Electronic Filings; Notice of

Conference

October 17, 1997.

Take notice that the Chairman of the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

will host a round table forum on Friday,

November 7, 1997, at 9:00 a.m., 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426 in the Commission meeting room.

All interested persons are invited to

attend.

This forum is the first in a series of

symposia on reform of regulatory

processes at the Commission. It is

designed to solicit proposals, strategies,

and views from regulated industry, its

customers, state regulators, and other

interested persons that will assist the

Commission in carrying out its mission

in an environment increasingly

characterized by competition, new

entrants, market dynamics, and

increased regulatory workload.

The agenda for this forum is divided

between (1) public access to information

and (2) standards for electronic filings.

The Commission will, as time permits,

also solicit comments on the tracking,

processing, and retention of documents

on electronic media within the

Commission. The forum will first

analyze FERC’s website, how FERC

might develop its internet capabilities,

and how FERC can improve both the

content and search capabilities of its

public databases. The second half of the

discussion will focus on the

development and use of electronic

filing, including how other

governmental agencies employ this

device. The Chairman is interested in

hearing how the Commission might

streamline the regulatory filing process,

address access and format requirements

and what the public and regulated

industry believes they need with regard

to electronic filings at FERC.

A more detailed agenda will be

published in the near future, including

a list of primary discussants selected by

the Chairman to lead the discussion.

Written comments are welcome at any

time and should reference the abovecaptioned proceeding. For additional

information, please contact Kathleen

Sherman by telephone at 202–219–2834

or by electronic mail at

‘‘kathleen.sherman@ferc.fed.us.’’ If there

is sufficient interest from those outside

the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area,

the Capitol Connection may broadcast

the Symposium on Process and Reform

via satellite for a fee. If there is interest

in the Washington, D.C. area for this

program, please call Shirley Al-Jarani or

Julia Morelli at the Capitol Connection

(703–993–3100) no later than October

31, 1997. In addition, National

Narrowcast Network’s Hearing-On-TheLine service covers all FERC meetings

live by telephone so that interested

persons can listen at their desks, from

their homes, or from any phone, without

special equipment. Billing is based on

time on-line. Call 202–966–2211 for
