[Docket No. RM01-12-000]


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

June 6, 2002.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
previously scheduled a conference for May 22, 2002 on data and software 
needs in connection with the Commission's Standard Market Design (SMD) 
rule. This conference was postponed by Notice issued on May 7, 2002. A 
new date for this conference is July 18, 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 is intended to discuss the data and software 
standards that are needed to implement SMD efficiently. The focus will 
be on exploring what should be standardized; whether there should be a 
standard data model; the potential for developing data sets to 
benchmark the needed software; and the need for user-friendly 
transparent interfaces that will help instill confidence in the 
process.
    Software vendors will be invited to present their products the same 
day in the lobby area.
    All interested parties are invited to attend. Further information 
about the structure of the conference will be provided in a subsequent 
notice, including the agenda and a list of participating discussants, 
as plans evolve.
    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.
