Electricity Market Design and Structure; Notice of Workshops

September 28, 2001.
    A series of commissioner-led workshops will be held October 15 
through October 19, 2001, beginning at 10 a.m., in the Commission 
meeting room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC.
    The purpose of the workshops is to discuss core issues related to 
the development of efficient electric markets in an era where electric 
transmission systems will be operated by Regional Transmission 
Organizations. These issues include, but are not limited to, necessary 
market information, congestion management, cost recovery, market 
monitoring, transmission planning, business and reliability standards, 
the nature of transmission rights, and federal/state cooperation. The 
workshops will begin the process of developing a rulemaking on the 
market design and structure to be implemented through a pro forma 
tariff applicable to all public utilities and RTOs.
    The workshops are open for the public to attend. There will be 
ample opportunity for public input in the rulemaking process, 
subsequent to the workshops. The Commission is inviting selected 
panelists on these topics to participate in these workshops; it is not 
at this time entertaining requests to make presentations. Additional 
details about the workshops will be provided in a subsequent notice, 
and will be posted on the Commission's web site under RTO Activities.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
