Notice of Technical Conference

June 22, 1995.
    Take notice that on Thursday, July 27, 1995 and Friday, July 28, 
1995, the Commission's Staff will hold a technical conference to 
discuss the process for developing Real-time Information Networks 
(RINs) requirements. The conference will begin on both days at 10:00 
A.M., and is scheduled for Hearing Room 1, 810 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    This conference is being held pursuant to the Notice of Technical 
Conference and Request for Comments, which was issued by the Commission 
in this docket on March 29, 1995, and published at 60 FR 17726 (April 
7, 1995). The conference is being convened to enlist the participation 
of all segments of the electric industry (including wholesale sellers, 
buyers, transmission owners, etc.) in the development of RINs 
requirements, and particularly to hear views on how to proceed in this 
process. Staff expects that there will be subsequent conferences with 
industry and other interested persons to reach consensus on RINs-
related issues.
    Persons who wish to attend the conference should, no later than 
July 6, 1995, notify Marvin Rosenberg by telephone at (202) 208-1283 
(or by facsimile at (202) 208-1010) or William [[Page 33376]] Booth by 
telephone at (202) 208-0849 (or by facsimile at (202) 208-0180). 
Persons who wish to speak at the conference should, no later than July 
6, 1995, notify Mr. Rosenberg or Mr. Booth, by a facsimile (at either 
of the facsimile numbers listed above) that provides a concise (not to 
exceed one page) description of the topics/issues they wish to discuss.
    Additionally, Staff has received several requests by persons 
wishing to demonstrate information systems of possible interest to the 
RINs development process. Staff will provide an opportunity to those 
wishing to demonstrate such systems to participants in the Technical 
Conference on July 28, 1995. Persons wishing to demonstrate an 
information system should, no later than July 6, 1995, notify Mr. 
Rosenberg or Mr. Booth, by a facsimile (at either of the facsimile 
numbers listed above) that provides a concise (not to exceed one page) 
description of their information system.
    After reviewing the preliminary comments that are due on July 6, 
1995, as well as the requests to speak and to demonstrate information 
systems, Staff will publish a notice of the agenda for the conference.
    If there is sufficient interest, the Commission will attempt to 
arrange for local or national broadcast of the Technical Conference. 
Persons interested in a local or national broadcast should contact 
Julia Morelli or Shirley Al-Jarani at The Capitol Connection (703-993-
