[Docket No. AD22-9-000]

New England Winter Gas-Electric Forum; Supplemental Notice of New 
England Winter Gas-Electric Forum

    As first announced in the Notice of Forum issued in the above-
referenced proceeding on May 19, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led forum on 
Thursday, September 8, 2022, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 
Eastern Time, to discuss the electricity and natural gas challenges 
facing the New England Region. The forum will be open to the public and 
held in the Emerald I & II Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton 
Burlington Vermont, 870 Williston Rd., South Burlington, VT 05403.
    The updated agenda for this forum is attached, which includes the 
final forum panelists. All changes to this agenda since the 
Commission's July 21, 2022 Supplemental Notice of New England Winter 
Gas-Electric Forum appear in italics.
    The purpose of the forum is to bring together stakeholders in New 
England to discuss the challenges faced historically during New England 
winters and discuss the stakeholders' differing expectations of 
challenges for future winters. The objectives of the forum are to 
achieve greater consensus or agreement among stakeholders in defining 
the electric and natural gas system challenges in New England and 
identify what, if any, steps are needed to better understand those 
challenges before identifying solutions.
    While the forum is not for the purpose of discussing any specific 
matters before the Commission, some forum discussions may involve 
issues raised in proceedings that are currently pending before the 
Commission. These proceedings include, but are not limited to--changes 
or additions to the list below appear in italics:

    Registration for in-person attendance is required, and there is no 
fee for attendance. A link to attendee registration is available on the 
New England Winter Gas-Electric Forum event page. Due to space 
constraints, seating for this event will be limited and registrants 
that get a confirmed space will be contacted via email. Only confirmed 
registrants can be admitted to the forum given the maximum occupancy 
limit at the venue (as required by fire and building safety code). 
Therefore, the Commission encourages members of the public who wish to 
attend this event in person to register at their earliest convenience. 
Online registration will be open, as long as attendance capacity is 
available, until the day before the forum (September 7). Once 
registration has reached capacity, registration will be closed. 
However, those interested in attending after capacity has been reached 
can join a waiting list (using the same registration link) and be 
notified if space becomes available. Those who are unable to attend in 
person may watch the free webcast.
    The webcast will allow persons to listen and observe the forum 
remotely but not participate. Information on this forum, including a 
link to the webcast, will be posted prior to the event on this forum's 
event page on the Commission's website. A recording of the webcast will 
be made available after the forum in the same location on the Calendar 
of Events. The forum will be transcribed. Transcripts of the forum will 
be available for a fee from Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. (202-347-3700).
    Additionally, please note that the Commission will be implementing 
health and safety restrictions, as appropriate, associated with the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID Community Level 
mitigations. This may include requiring all participants to wear cloth 
face covers or masks as well as further limiting venue occupancy if 
Chittenden County is designated as having a high-community level in 
data expected to be released on the evening of Thursday, September 1. 
The CDC Community Level tracker may be found at the CDC COVID Data 
Tracker site.
    Commission conferences are accessible under section 508 of the
