Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PL01-7-000]


Conference on Energy Infrastructure; Notice of Conference

September 28, 2001.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will hold a 
conference on energy infrastructure issues in the Western states on 
Friday, November 2, 2001 at the WestCoast Grand Hotel in Seattle 
Washington.
    The conference will discuss the Western region's electric and gas 
infrastructure (electric generation and transmission, and fuel 
delivery, and storage), and related matters. The Governors of the 
western states have been invited to participate. The goal is to 
identify regional infrastructure issues and their implications for the 
future economic development of the region. We look forward to an 
informative discussion of the issues, and how we can facilitate and 
enhance a comprehensive collaborative approach to energy infrastructure 
development. It is our firm belief that until we have an adequate well-
functioning energy infrastructure, we cannot expect workably 
competitive markets.
    The one-day meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will end about 4:00 
p.m. This conference will follow a meeting of the western Committee on 
Regional Electric Power Cooperation (CREPC) at the same location.
    All interested parties are invited to attend the conference on 
November 2.
    We will issue further details on the conference, including the 
agenda and a list of participating discussants, as plans evolve. For 
additional information, please contact Saida Shaalan at 202-208-0278 or 
[email protected].

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
