          - [Docket No. AD15-5-000]

      ( print page 18400)    
                    As discussed in prior notices, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) staff will hold a workshop to discuss standards for calculating Available Transfer Capability (ATC) for wholesale electric transmission services.[1]                                          In light of the inclement weather occurring on the originally proposed date, the workshop is rescheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2015.                

                    The workshop is prompted by the filing by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) proposing changes to its ATC-related reliability standards,[2]                                          and the initiative to replace these standards with similarly focused business practice standards to be developed by the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB).[3] 

The workshop will commence at 12:00 noon and conclude by 4:15 p.m., EST. The workshop will be held in the Commission Meeting Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC, 20426. Commission members may participate in the workshop.
