    Each conference will begin at 9 a.m. and end at approximately 5:30 
p.m. The dress code for the conferences will be business casual. 
Subsequent notices will be issued specifying the agenda and roundtable 
participants for each conference.
    The conferences will not be transcribed. However, there will be a 
free webcast of the conferences held at FERC HQ and a free audiocast of 
the conferences held offsite. The webcasts and audiocasts will allow 
persons to view or listen to the conference, but not participate. 
Anyone with Internet access who desires to listen to a conference can 
do so by navigating to www.ferc.gov's Calendar of Events and locating 
the conference in the Calendar. Each conference will contain a link to 
its webcast or audiocast, as applicable. The Capitol Connection 
provides technical support for webcasts and audiocasts and offers the 
option of listening to the meeting via phone-bridge for a fee. If you 
have any questions, visit www.CapitolConnection.org or call 703-993-
3100.
    If you have not already done so, those that plan to attend a 
conference are strongly encouraged to complete the registration form 
located at: www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/nat-gas-elec-mkts-form.asp. If you plan to attend more than one conference, please 
register separately for each conference.
    As provided for in the July 5th notice, those wishing to 
participate in a roundtable should complete the request form located at 
www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/nat-gas-elec-mkts-speaker-form.asp 
by the close of business on July 19, 2012. The conference will be 
organized as a roundtable discussion of the topics identified in the 
July 5th notice and Commission staff will moderate the discussion of 
each topic. Roundtable participants will not be giving presentations or 
providing opening remarks. Time permitting, comments or questions from 
those attending the conference, but not participating in the 
roundtable, will be permitted. If you would like to participate in more 
than one roundtable, please complete a separate request form for each 
conference. Due to time and seating constraints, we may not be able to 
accommodate all those interested in participating in the roundtables.
    Information on the conferences will also be posted on the Web site 
www.ferc.gov/industries/electric/indus-act/electric-coord.asp, as well
