Notice of Procedures To Be Followed at Public Conference

April 8 , 2002.
    On March 21, 2002, the Commission issued a Notice of Public 
Conference in this proceeding. The notice stated that the Commission 
Staff will hold a public conference on April 16, 2002 to receive 
comments from interested parties on Staff's recommended basis for 
assigning capacity and receipt points on the El Paso Natural Gas 
Company (El Paso) system. Staff presented its recommendation at the 
March 13, 2002 Commission meeting, and a description of Staff's 
proposal is posted on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/calendar/commissionmeetings/discussion_papers.htm. The March 21, 2002 
notice asked that persons interested in participating in the conference 
inform the Commission of their interest by March 28, 2002.
    The Commission received responses from the persons listed on

As we explained in the prior notice, the conference will consist of 
short presentations by panels of interested parties, including full 
requirements (FR) shippers, contract demand (CD) shippers, state 
representatives and El Paso. Based on the requests filed by persons 
interested in participating on the panels, the following agenda is 
established.
    First, El Paso will make a brief presentation addressing the 
practical impact and feasibility of implementation of Staff's proposal 
on the El Paso system. This presentation will be followed by three 
panels. Two representatives from El Paso will remain at the table 
during the panels to address any questions.
    The first panel will consist of representatives of the state 
commissions, i.e., the Arizona Corporation Commission and the 
California Public Utilities Commission.
    The second panel will consist of participants with the interests of 
FR shippers. Specifically this panel will include one representative of 
each of the following companies: Arizona Electric, APS/Pinnacle, El 
Paso Electric, El Paso Municipal Group, Phelps Dodge, Public Service 
Company of New Mexico, Salt River, Southern Union, and Southwest Gas.
    The third panel will consist of participants with interests of CD 
customers. Specifically, this panel will consist of representatives 
from each of the following companies or groups: Dynegy, MGI Supply, 
ONEOK, SoCal Edison, SoCal Gas, and the Southern California Generation 
Coalition. In addition, there will be three representatives from 
Indicated Shippers on this panel.
    Each panel will have one hour to make its presentation, but 
individual presentations should be limited to approximately five 
minutes. Shorter presentations are encouraged where possible. After the 
presentations, time will be allotted for questions to the panelists.
    Parties should submit the names of the individuals participating on 
the panels on or before Wednesday, April 10, 2002. This information
