Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


Notice of New Docket Prefix

September 26, 2000.
    Notice is hereby given that a new docket prefix has been 
established to accommodate compliance with the Commission's regulations 
at 18 CFR 35.34(c) and (h), which were implemented by Order No. 2000. 
Those regulations require that all public utilities that own, operate, 
or control electric transmission facilities in interstate commerce, 
must file either a proposal to participate in a Regional Transmission 
Organization (RTO) or an explanation of why they are not proposing to 
participate in an RTO. These filings must be made no later than October 
16, 2000 or January 16, 2001, depending on which category the utility 
is in.
    In order to properly docket and manage this type of case and assess 
Commission resources applicable to this type of work, it is necessary 
to establish a new docket prefix for this filing requirement. The new 
docket prefix will be RTFY-NNNN-000, where the FY stands for fiscal 
year in which the filing is made and the NNNN is a sequential number. 
For example, the first filing of a utility (or group of utilities) to 
comply with Order No. 2000, made in fiscal year 2001, will be assigned 
RT01-1-000, the second will be RT01-2-000, etc.
    Public utilities making Order No. 2000 compliance filings are 
requested to put the ``RT'' docket prefix in the docket area of their 
filings.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
