Regional Transmission Organizations; Notice of Dates and 
Locations for Regional Collaborative Workshops

January 31, 2000.
    On December 20, 1999, the Commission issued Order No. 2000 \1\ to 
advance the formation of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). 
Order No. 2000 announced the initiation of a regional collaborative 
process \2\ to aid in the formation of RTOs. To initiate the 
collaborative process, the Commission is organizing a series of 
regional workshops. The following five locations are designated for the 
Spring 2000 workshops and, as stated in order No. 2000, ``* * * the 
selection of locations for initial workshops is not to indicate a 
preference for specific RTO boundaries, but to provide convenient 
workshop locations.'' \3\ The workshops are open to all interested 
parties and attendance at more than one workshop is permitted. The 
Commission expects that all transmission owners will attend at least 
one workshop.
