Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD11–2–000] 

Transmission Vegetation Management 

Practices; Notice of Technical 

Conference 

October 5, 2010. 

Take notice that the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

staff will hold a Technical Conference 

on Transmission Vegetation 

Management Programs on Tuesday, 

October 26, 2010 from 1 p.m. to 

approximately 5 p.m. This staff-led 

conference will be held in the 

Commission Meeting Room at the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. The conference will be open for 

the public to attend and advance 

registration is not required. Members of 

the Commission may attend the 

conference. 

The purpose of the conference is to 

discuss current vegetation management 

programs and practices as required 

under the Commission’s Reliability 

Standards. In Order No. 693 the 

Commission approved Reliability 

Standard FAC–003–1—Transmission 

Vegetation Management Program.1

Reliability Standard FAC–003–1 applies 

to all transmission lines operated at 200 

kV and above, and to lower voltage lines 

designated as critical to the reliability of 

the Bulk-Power System.2

Certain landowners and other affected 

parties have raised concerns about 

changes in vegetation management 

practices implemented following 

adoption of FAC–003–1. The 

Commission is interested in obtaining a 

better understanding of the scope of any 

changes in vegetation management 

practices since FAC–003–1 was 

approved as mandatory and enforceable, 

and the extent to which such changes 

resulted from the requirements imposed 

under FAC–003–1. The Commission is 

also interested in obtaining a better 

understanding of the range of vegetation 

management practices used by 

transmission owners, and the reasons 

for selecting a given practice or 

methodology over alternatives. 

The agenda for this conference will be 

issued at a later date. Information on 

this event will be posted on the 

Calendar of Events on the Commission’s 

Web site, http://www.ferc.gov, prior to 

the event. The conference will be
