No. ER03-746-000, et al.]


San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Complainant, v. Sellers of 
Energy and Ancillary Services, Into Markets Operated by the California, 
Independent System Operator, and the California Power Exchange, 
Respondents; Investigation of Practices of the California Independent 
System Operator and the California Power Exchange; California 
Independent System Operator Corporation; Notice of Technical Conference

September 27, 2004.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff is convening a 
technical conference to discuss with the California Independent System 
Operator Corporation (CAISO) and market participants and facilitate a 
better understanding of several aspects of the CAISO's proposed 
methodology for allocating the fuel cost allowance. In San Diego Gas & 
Electric Co. v. Sellers of Energy & Ancillary Serv., et al., 107 FERC 
61,166 (2004), the Commission directed the CAISO to develop a 
methodology to allocate recovery of the fuel allowance. The CAISO's 
compliance filing, and the numerous protests and comments submitted in 
response thereto, raise new issues, including: the netting of sales and 
purchases, the mechanics of the implementation of the fuel cost 
allowance offset, and the consistency of the CAISO's proposed 
methodology for allocating fuel cost allowance with the intent of the 
refund proceeding. Participants are requested to restrict their 
contributions to this conference to the issues related to the process 
and mechanics of allocating recovery of the fuel cost allowance within 
the framework of the refund proceeding. A separate notice will be 
issued by the Commission to announce the final agenda of the staff 
technical conference.
    The staff technical conference will be held on October 7, 2004, at 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC beginning at 9 a.m. (e.s.t.) in a room to be announced 
at a later date.
    The conference is open for the public to attend, and registration 
is not required. For more information about the conference, please 
contact: Olga Kolotushkina, Office of General Counsel, Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission at (202) 502-6024 or [email protected].

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
