[Docket No. AD16-24-000]


Winter 2018-2019 Operations and Market Performance in Regional 
Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators; Notice of 
Technical Conference

    Take notice that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
staff will hold a technical conference, after the October 2018 
Commission public meeting, to hear from the Regional Transmission 
Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) \1\ on 
their efforts for ensuring reliable and economic system performance 
during the 2018-2019 winter season. The technical conference will take 
place on October 18, 2018 at the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC beginning at 2:00 p.m. and ending at 3:30 
p.m. (Eastern Time). Commission staff will lead the technical 
conference, and Commissioners may attend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The technical conference will include representatives from 
California Independent System Operator Corporation, ISO New England 
Inc., Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc., New York 
Independent System Operator, Inc., PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., and 
Southwest Power Pool, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similar to past years' dialogue, we expect a robust discussion with 
the RTOs/ISOs on their key winter preparedness challenges and their 
current or proposed operational system enhancements and market changes 
to address those challenges. For RTOs/ISOs that are not winter-peaking, 
we look forward to hearing about their efforts to prepare for other 
seasons that may potentially challenge their region's reliability and 
markets.
    If there is further information related to this conference, it will
