Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. AD02-13-000]


Conference on Energy Infrastructure; Notice of Conference

March 20, 2002.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will hold a 
conference on energy infrastructure issues in the southeastern states 
on Thursday, May 9, 2002 at the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort 
and Convention Center, 8701 World Center Drive, Orlando, Florida.
    The conference is for the purpose of discussing the adequacy of the 
electric, gas and other energy infrastructure in the Southeast, and 
related matters. In addition to specialized panelists, the Governors 
and state utility commissioners of the southeastern states are being 
invited to participate. The goal is to identify present infrastructure 
needs, investment and other barriers to expansion, and environmental 
and landowner concerns. We look forward to an informative discussion of 
the issues to clarify how we can facilitate and enhance a comprehensive 
collaborative approach to energy infrastructure development and 
reliability for the southeastern states. It is our firm belief that 
until we have an adequate, well-functioning energy infrastructure, we 
cannot expect workable, competitive markets.
    The one-day meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 4:30 
p.m. All interested parties are invited to attend. Hotel rooms have 
been blocked at the Marriott under the name of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission for any attending guests to reserve a one- or 
two-night stay but will be released by April 17. You can still reserve 
a room after April 17, but on a room availability and rate basis. The 
hotel can be reached at 1-800-621-0638.
    To attend, please register online on the Commission Web site

Infrastructure Conference''. There is no registration fee. We will
