goals set forth in the September 1, 2004 FERC-NRC Memorandum of 
Agreement. That meeting included presentations by staff of both 
agencies and initiated a series of questions to be answered by the 
respective agencies that addressed grid reliability issues and the 
roles of the agencies in addressing those issues.

two sets of Commissioners following presentations by their respective 
staffs. In addition, representatives of the North American Electric 
Reliability Council (NERC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) may
