SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Take notice the Commission staff will hold a 
technical conference to discuss the issues raised in comments to the 
proposed regulations governing cash management practices.
    Take notice that the conference will be held on Wednesday, 
September 25, 2002, in a room to be designated at the offices of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC. The conference is being convened to enlist the 
participation of interested parties in the development of regulations 
to govern centralized cash management programs such as concentration 
and zero balance accounts and money pooling arrangements.
    Participants may be assigned to a panel in order to establish a 
logical order of presentation and to facilitate an exchange of views. 
The technical conference is intended to be structured so that 
participants can discuss the proposed rule issued on August 1, 2002, 
documentation requirements, and other issues related to the various 
types of centralized cash management programs used by jurisdictional 
entities that are owned, or directly or indirectly controlled by other 
entities as part of a consolidated group. The goal of the conference is 
to obtain additional information on centralized cash management 
programs. This information will be used in the development of revisions 
to the Commission's existing accounting and reporting requirements.
    Persons who wish to participate in the conference should, no later 
than Thursday September 12, 2002, notify Abraham Silverman by telephone 
at (202) 502-6444, or by facsimile at (202) 208-0017, or by e-mail:

6010, or by facsimile at (202) 219-2632, or by e-mail:

    After reviewing the requests to participate, the Commission staff 
will issue a subsequent notice in the Federal Register specifying the 
time and place, and a proposed agenda. For additional information,
