    The upcoming working group meetings are intended to be the last in 
the series of these meetings to complete work on the filing 
instructions for the FERC Form No. 2 and rate case filings. All 
outstanding issues will be discussed and resolved at these meetings. If 
no consensus is reached, the issue will be referred to the Commission 
for final resolution.
    In a notice issued August 15, 1996, the Commission announced the 
availability of the draft instructions for filing rate cases 
electronically. Comments were due August 31, 1996. Several comments 
have been received. To further the discussion process, copies of the 
comments are available on the Gas Pipeline Data (GPD) portion of the 
Commission's bulletin board. At the meeting or Working Group-Filings, 
participants should be prepared to discuss the issues raised in the 
comments.
    Take notice that the draft filing instructions for FERC Form No. 2 
are being made available on the GPD portion of the Commission's 
bulletin board as they are completed. Anyone wishing to submit comments 
on the Form No. 2 instructions may do so by September 30, 1996. Such 
comments may be uploaded to the Commission's BBS or mailed to Richard 
A. White, Office of General Counsel, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington D.C. 20426. Comments may 
also be e-mailed to [email protected], 
[email protected], or [email protected], or 
uploaded to the Gas Pipeline Data portion of the Commission's bulletin 
board. We encourage commenters to submit written comments also on a 
3\1/2\'' diskette in Rich Text Format or ASCII so they can be posted on 
the Commission's bulletin board. It is preferable for comments uploaded 
to the Commission's BBS to be in ASCII format so files may be viewed 
on-line and easily converted to other software formats.
    The upload option, available under the Order No. 581/582 Working 
Group Menu, is designed to permit members of the public to upload a 
file to the Commission's bulletin board. To do so, select upload from 
the Working Group menu. You will be prompted for the File Mask. Enter 
the drive, directory, if applicable, and the filename. If more than one 
file is to be uploaded, enter the file mask using wildcard characters 
for the unique portion of the filename. For example:
    File Mask? C:\FERC\Form__11.txt, or File Mask? C:\*tst.wk1 to 
represent Altst.wk1, Bltst.wk1, etc.
    You will be prompted to enter a file description. A file 
description must accompany every file. The basic file description can 
be no more than 70 characters. After typing the description, select 
[send] to associate it with your file. Other menu features are 
explained under the Help option.
    The system will not allow you to upload a file with the same name 
as a file already on the bulletin board. It is preferable to 
incorporate your company

immediately available for download. The party uploading the file may, 
however, check the file list to ensure the file uploaded properly.
