Southwest Power Pool, Inc.; Notice of Technical Conference

March 22, 2006.
    Take notice that a technical conference will be convened on Monday, 
April 10, 2006, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (EST), in Conference Room 3M-3 at 
the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The technical conference will deal with two issues related to 
Southwest Power Pool, Inc.'s proposed credit policy, as discussed in 
the Commission's February 28, 2006 Order.\1\ Specifically the 
Commission directed Commission staff to examine SPP's proposed total 
debt to total capitalization and debt service coverage scores and SPP's 
proposed $50,000 unsecured credit floor for not-for-profit entities.\2\ 
The Commission found that SPP's proposal may not be just and 
reasonable, and may be unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory, or 
otherwise unlawful. Accordingly, the Commission accepted SPP's Credit 
Policy for filing and suspended it to become effective on March 1, 
2006, subject to refund and the outcome of a technical conference. A 
report on the technical conference is due to the Commission no later 
than May 30, 2006.
