[Docket No. RM01-12-000]


Standard Market Design, Data and Software Standards; Notice of 
Conference

April 12, 2002.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) will hold a 
conference on data and software needs in connection with the 
Commission's Standard Market Design (SMD) rule. The conference will be 
held on May 22, 2002, starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Commission Meeting 
Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., in Washington DC.
    The conference will discuss what data and software standards are 
needed to implement SMD efficiently. The focus will be on exploring 
what should be standardized; whether there should be a standard data 
model; on examining the potential for developing data sets to benchmark 
the needed software; and on finding user interfaces that are 
transparent and which will instill confidence in the process.
    All interested parties are invited to attend.
    The conference will be transcribed. Those interested in acquiring 
the transcript should contact Ace Reporters at 202-347-3700, or 800-
336-6646. Transcripts will be placed in the public record ten days 
after the conference.
    We will issue further details, including the agenda and a list of 
participating discussants, as plans evolve. For additional information, 
please contact Rene Forsberg at 202-208-0425 or Rene.[email protected].
