    Take notice that the Trial Staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) will convene a second plenary conference in the 
above-referenced cases on Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 10 a.m. in 
Hearing Room 1 at the offices of the Commission, 888 1st Street, 
Washington, DC 20426. The conference will continue to be held as a 
settlement conference pursuant to Rule 602 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.602. Therefore, participation at the 
conference will be limited to the Identified Entities listed above, 
interveners in the instant dockets, and Trial Staff.
    At the conference, Trial Staff plans to initially meet with the 
Identified Entities and all interveners to discuss the overall status 
of the proceeding. In that regard, Trial Staff plans to discuss with 
all the parties procedures that can be adopted to streamline the 
discovery and trial phases of the instant case for those entities that 
cannot be removed from the case by means of settlement or dismissal 
prior to September 3, 2003. It would be Trial Staff's aim to find a way 
to preserve fruitful settlement discussions for those cases that do not 
settle or are not dismissed before September 3, 2003. Similarly, Trial 
Staff is mindful of the numerous petitions for rehearing and requests 
for clarification that have been filed and would like to discuss the 
ramifications of those pleadings and potential Commission action on 
those filings.
    Thereafter, Trial Staff proposes, as necessary, to meet with the 
Identified Entities and the Intervener Groups. As time permits, Trial 
Staff would also be willing to meet with individual Identified Entities 
about the particular status of their cases.
    All parties with questions regarding this second plenary conference 
may contact Joel M. Cockrell at 202-502-8153, Edith A. Gilmore at 202-
502-8632, or Janet K. Jones at 202-502-8165.

Secretary.
