Notice of Procedures To Be Followed at Public Conference
April 8 , 2002.
On March 21, 2002, the Commission issued a Notice of Public
Conference in this proceeding. The notice stated that the Commission
Staff will hold a public conference on April 16, 2002 to receive
comments from interested parties on Staff's recommended basis for
assigning capacity and receipt points on the El Paso Natural Gas
Company (El Paso) system. Staff presented its recommendation at the
March 13, 2002 Commission meeting, and a description of Staff's
proposal is posted on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/
calendar/commissionmeetings/discussion_papers.htm. The March 21, 2002
notice asked that persons interested in participating in the conference
inform the Commission of their interest by March 28, 2002.
The Commission received responses from the persons listed on
Appendix A indicating an interest in participating in the conference.
As we explained in the prior notice, the conference will consist of
short presentations by panels of interested parties, including full
requirements (FR) shippers, contract demand (CD) shippers, state
representatives and El Paso. Based on the requests filed by persons
interested in participating on the panels, the following agenda is
established.
First, El Paso will make a brief presentation addressing the
practical impact and feasibility of implementation of Staff's proposal
on the El Paso system. This presentation will be followed by three
panels. Two representatives from El Paso will remain at the table
during the panels to address any questions.
The first panel will consist of representatives of the state
commissions, i.e., the Arizona Corporation Commission and the
California Public Utilities Commission.
The second panel will consist of participants with the interests of
FR shippers. Specifically this panel will include one representative of
each of the following companies: Arizona Electric, APS/Pinnacle, El
Paso Electric, El Paso Municipal Group, Phelps Dodge, Public Service
Company of New Mexico, Salt River, Southern Union, and Southwest Gas.
The third panel will consist of participants with interests of CD
customers. Specifically, this panel will consist of representatives
from each of the following companies or groups: Dynegy, MGI Supply,
ONEOK, SoCal Edison, SoCal Gas, and the Southern California Generation
Coalition. In addition, there will be three representatives from
Indicated Shippers on this panel.
Each panel will have one hour to make its presentation, but
individual presentations should be limited to approximately five
minutes. Shorter presentations are encouraged where possible. After the
presentations, time will be allotted for questions to the panelists.
Parties should submit the names of the individuals participating on
the panels on or before Wednesday, April 10, 2002. This information
should be submitted by e-mail to Robert.Petrocelli@ferc.gov with a copy
