    A one-day, Commissioner-led workshop will be held on Thursday, 
December 9, 2004, beginning at 10 a.m. (EST), in the Commission Meeting 
Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC. The workshop will focus on the above-listed 
pending license applications filed at the Commission. The workshop is 
open to the public and all interested persons are invited to attend and 
participate.
    The goals of the workshop are to: (1) Review and discuss the 
pending license applications; (2) identify unresolved issues; (3) 
determine next steps; (4) agree on who will take the next steps; and 
(5) focus on solutions. The workshop will concentrate on identifying 
the unresolved issues associated with each project, and determining the 
best course of action to resolve or remove obstacles to final action on 
each pending license application.
    A transcript of the discussions will be placed in the public record 
for Docket No. AD04-014-000 and in the record for each of the pending 
license applications.
