    As announced in a Notice of Technical Conference, issued September 
27, 2004, in the above referenced proceedings, a technical conference 
will be held on October 8, 2004, in Jackson, Mississippi. The 
conference will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Central Time) at 
the Mississippi Department of Education Building, 359 N. West Street, 
Jackson, Mississippi (parking for this meeting is available in the 
Robert E. Lee Building, directly across the street from the Department 
of Education Building, on the 7th and 8th floors of the garage). 
Members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are expected to 
participate, along with Entergy Services, Inc's (Entergy) state and 
local utility regulators.
    Following is a description of how the conference will be organized. 
To encourage dialog and discussion, the Commission is not expecting 
presentations or prepared remarks from market participants. Rather, the 
Commission intends this to be a working session.
    The morning session will address Entergy's Weekly Procurement 
Process (WPP) proposal. Issues we would like to explore include: 
Transparency of information; refinement of the types of products to be 
offered through the WPP; the interplay of the WPP and the Available 
Flowgate Capability (AFC); the respective roles and responsibilities of 
the Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT), Entergy Management 
Organization (EMO), and Entergy Transmission in the WPP; to what extent 
do customers benefit from better economic dispatch; and any additional 
issues or concerns that participants wish to discuss related to the 
WPP.
    We note that Entergy and the market participants have had two 
meetings in our offices intended as a follow-up to address certain 
questions and concerns expressed during the July 28 and 29, 2004 
Technical Conference held in New Orleans. We will first provide Entergy

[[Page 60852]]

and the market participants the opportunity to provide us with an 
update on any progress made to resolve issues.
    The afternoon session will discuss the ICT proposal. Specifically, 
issues we would like to explore include: how could the ICT proposal be 
changed to be more independent; what additional roles or 
functionalities should the ICT assume; and what stakeholder processes, 
if any, would be appropriate for the ICT, in its formation and on-going 
operations.
    Parties will have the opportunity to file supplemental comments 
following the conclusion of the conference.
    The conference is open for the public to attend and preregistration 
is not required; however, attendees are asked to register for the 
conference on-line by close of business on Wednesday, October 6, at 
http://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/entergy-1008-form.asp. 
Attendees may also register on-site.
    Transcripts of the conference will be immediately available from 
Ace Reporting Company (202-347-3700 or 1-800-336-6646) for a fee. They 
will be available for the public on the Commission's e-Library seven 
calendar days after FERC receives the transcript.
