[Docket No. RM10–13–000] 

Credit Reforms in Organized 

Wholesale Electric Markets; Notice of 

Agenda for Technical Conference 

May 5, 2010. 

As announced in the Notice of 

Technical Conference issued on April 

15, 2010, Commission staff will hold a 

technical conference on May 11, 2010. 

The purpose of this conference is to 

discuss the proposal in the Credit 

Reforms in Organized Wholesale 

Electric Markets Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking1 regarding whether 

Independent System Operator (ISO)/ 

Regional Transmission Operators 

(RTOs) should adopt certain tariff 

revisions to clarify their status as a party 

to each transaction so as to eliminate 

ambiguity regarding their ability to ‘‘setoff’’ market obligations and whether this 

proposal will have additional 

ramifications. The conference will be 

held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (EDT), in 

the Commission Meeting Room at the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. 

All interested persons are invited to 

attend, and registration is not required. 

The agenda is attached. There will be 

two panels. The first panel will discuss 

the issue from the perspective of the 

ISO/RTO as market administrator but 

will also include the perspective of 

regulatory oversight in related markets. 

The second panel will discuss the issue 

from both a market participant 

perspective and a legal perspective. 

As previously announced, a free 

webcast of this event will be available. 

Anyone with internet access who 

desires to view this event can do so by 

navigating http://www.ferc.gov’s 

Calendar of Events and locating this 

event in the Calendar. The event will 

contain a link to its webcast. The

k. This application has been accepted

l. The existing Brassua Project 

includes: (1) A 1,789-foot-long dam 

consisting of: (a) An earth dike 410 feet 

long with 100 feet of concrete core wall; 

(b) a concrete-faced earth dike 342.5 feet 

long; (c) a concrete Ambursen dam 284 

feet long with a height of 52 feet above 

the stream bed; (d) a 18.5-foot fishway 

(inactive); and (e) a 734-foot earth dike 

with a concrete core wall; (2) a 9,700- 

acre reservoir (known as Brassua Lake) 

with a normal pool elevation 1,074.0 

feet (U.S.G.S. datum) and maximum 

drawdown of 31 feet, extending 7.75 

miles upstream; (3) a reinforcedconcrete intake structure; (4) a 110-footlong, 13-foot square penstock; (5) a 32- 

foot-high, 32-foot-wide and 60-foot-long 

powerhouse; (6) a 4.18–MW generating 

unit; (7) a 40-foot-wide, 15-foot-deep 

and 60-foot-long tailrace; (8) a 

substation; (9) a 0.5-mile-long, 34.5-kV 

(kilovolt) transmission line; and (10) 

appurtenant facilities. The earth 

sections of the dam are topped with 

33.5-inch-high wave barriers (Jersey 

barriers). 

The Brassua Project is operated as a 

seasonal storage facility where water 

releases are determined by downstream 

demands for hydroelectric generation in 

the Kennebec River and for flood 

control. Reservoir fluctuations follow an 

annual cycle under which reservoir 

levels are reduced during the fall and 

winter to provide additional flows 

downstream as well as to make storage 

volume available for spring snow melt 

and runoff. After the spring refill, flow 

is released for the Brassua reservoir to 

provide summer minimum instream 

flows as well as water for industrial and 

municipal uses. Specific project 

operation requirements are discussed 

below. 

The current license allows the 

licensees to operate the Brassua Project 

in peaking mode from July 1st through 

August 31st and from November 6th 

through the start of spring freshnet 

(normally mid-May) of each year. The 

licensee is required to cease peaking 

operation and resume normal operation 

in which flows through the project are 

maintained constant on a daily basis 

from spring freshnet through June 30th 

and from September 1st through 

November 5th of each year. 

The current license requires the 

licensee to release the following 

minimum flows and maintain the 

following target water levels to protect 

fish and aquatic habitat and to benefit 

the reproductive efforts of the 

landlocked salmon population in the 

Moose River. All Minimum flow 

releases are maintained through the 

turbine or deep gates and discharged in 

the lower Moose River below the dam.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to
