Corrected
Notice
of
Conference
November

2003.
The
Federal
Energy
Regulatory
Commission
(
Commission)
will
hold
a
conference
on
Monday,
December
1,
2003,
at
FERC
headquarters,
888
First
Street,
NE.,
Washington,
DC,
in
the
Commission
Meeting
Room
(
Room
2C),
at
1:
30
p.
m.
The
conference
is
open
to
the
public,
and
no
registration
is
required.
The
Commission
seeks
input
from
interested
persons
regarding
the
content
of
the
rulemaking
the
Commission
would
be
required
to
implement
under
the
provisions
of
proposed
comprehensive
energy
legislation
that
relate
to
the
certification
of
an
electric
reliability
organization
that
would
be
responsible
for
establishing
and
enforcing
electric
reliability
standards.
1
The
proposed
legislation
would
require
the
Commission
to
issue
a
final
rule
to
implement
the
provisions
related
to
electric
reliability
not
later
than
180
days
after
enactment.
In
light
of
the
short
timeframe
for
a
final
rule
as
contemplated
in
legislation
being
considered
by
a
Senate­
House
conference
committee,
we
are
issuing
this
Notice
in
order
to
be
in
a
position
to
proceed
immediately
with
the
rulemaking
process
if
the
legislation
is
enacted
in
the
near
future.
The
Commission
is
very
interested
in
hearing
from
the
public
suggestions
about
how
the
reliability
provisions
of
the
comprehensive
energy
legislation
should
be
implemented.
Therefore,
the
conference
will
have
an
``
open
mike''
format.
People
with
a
strong
interest
in
speaking
