DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RM05-30-000]


Rules Concerning Certification of the Electric Reliability 
Organization; and Procedures for the Establishment, Approval, and 
Enforcement of Electric Reliability Standards; Notice of Technical 
Conferences

November 3, 2005.
    Take notice that two technical conferences will be held in the 
offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC. All interested persons may attend, and 
registration is not required. This will be a staff conference, but 
Commissioners also may attend.
    These technical conferences will address industry perspectives on 
certain issues, which are the subject of the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking in Docket No. RM05-30-000. The discussions will focus on the 
process that the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) will use in 
proposing the new mandatory reliability standards, the role of regional 
entities in that process, and how existing reliability standards can be 
improved over time.
    The first technical conference will be held on Friday, November 18, 
2005, from approximately 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. (EST), in the 
Commission Meeting Room on the second floor of the Commission. A 
follow-up technical conference is tentatively scheduled for Friday, 
December 9, 2005. Additional details for both conferences, including 
agendas, panelists, and the time and location for the December 
conference, will be provided at a later time.
    Transcripts of the conferences 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 eLibrary system 
seven calendar days after the Commission receives the transcript. 
Additionally, Capitol Connection offers the opportunity for remote 
listening and viewing of the conferences. It is available for a fee, 
live over the Internet, by phone or via satellite. Persons interested
