ISO New England Inc.; Notice of Technical Conference

February 15, 2008.
    Take notice that Commission staff will convene a technical 
conference in the above-referenced proceeding on Wednesday, March 5, 
2008 at 9 a.m. (EDT) in a room to be designated at the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. All 
interested persons are invited to attend and registration is not 
required; however, active participation will be limited to those 
parties who have previously requested to intervene in this proceeding.
    The Commission's January 25, 2008 order \1\ in this proceeding 
directed its staff to hold a technical conference to address issues 
raised by ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE) in its October 16, 2007 filing 
and its deficiency response filed on November 28, 2007. Specifically, 
the Commission seeks to determine whether further detail should be 
added to ISO-NE's tariff to capture its proposal and its current 
practice of using Net Commitment Period Compensation (NCPC) to resolve 
differences in clearing prices across interfaces. As part of its 
presentation, ISO-NE is directed to discuss whether removing congestion 
costs from the NCPC uplift mechanism and incorporating these costs in 
the Locational Marginal Price at the External Node, as the Tariff 
appears to require, would reduce or eliminate the opportunity for 
market manipulation that is the impetus for the October 16, 2007 
filing.
