QUESTION: Yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission issued a staff report on electricity restructuring issues. It is an update of the July 2000 report done at the request of House Energy Chairman Tauzin and Subcommittee Chairman Barton. They requested the report be updated. A summary of the report and the full 80+ page text is on the FTC web site at www.ftc.gov on the upper left side of the home page. I read the summary and will read the balance. So far, so good. It basically says that even states that have opened up to retail competition are in transition with a hybrid of regulation and competition, thus the expected benefits of competition have not yet emerged. However, the report states that nothing to date indicates that competition, once the transition period is over, will not produce additional benefits for consumers. The report's major conclusion is that competitive wholesale markets are important to achieving effective competition in retail markets. The summary includes something that sounds promising on RTO policy, saying "And as wholesale and retail markets become regional, governing policies and jurisdictional approaches also must move in that direction for wholesale and retail competition to be successful."

QUESTION: The September 26, 2001 order had established December 10, 2001 as the date for "Simultaneous rebuttal testimony on November 6, 2001 evidentiary presentations." On November 6, 2001 several parties had filed responsive testimony on issues relating to other sources of cost recovery, including NOx emissions and startup costs The November 23, 2001 order said these issues will be addressed at the February hearing on issues 2 and 3. This combination left Staff uncertain as to when rebuttal testimony on these issues is to be filed. We called Bryan Clark, Judge Birchman's new law clerk, and asked when we are to file rebuttal testimony. He checked with Judge Birchman, and said we are to file all rebuttal testimony on these issues on February 6, 2002.
