California Independent System Operator Corporation; Notice 
Seeking Comment on Need for Technical Conference

September 15, 2009.
    On September 26, 2007, Commission staff convened a technical 
conference to discuss provisions in the California Independent System 
Operator Corporation's (CAISO) Business Practice Manuals (BPMs) which, 
in parties' view, should be included in the CAISO's Market Redesign and 
Technology Upgrade (MRTU) tariff.\1\ As a result of the technical 
conference, on November 15, 2007, the CAISO proposed to revise the MRTU 
tariff to include additional provisions that had originally been 
included in the BPMs.\2\

    In an order issued on March 24, 2008, the Commission accepted and

Commission also directed staff to convene a technical conference 
``approximately six months after MRTU implementation [to] provide all 
parties with a final opportunity to identify any details in new or 
revised [BPM] language developed after November 15, 2007, which 
commenters believe should be included in the MRTU tariff.'' \4\
