A one-day, Commissioner-led workshop will be held on Thursday,
December 1, 2005, beginning at 10 a.m. (e.s.t.), 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. AD05-015-000 and in the record for each of the pending
license applications.

Opportunities for Listening, Participating, and Viewing the Workshop
Offsite and Obtaining a Transcript
The workshop will be transcribed. Those interested in transcripts
immediately for a fee should contact Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. at

to the public on the Commission's e-Library system about two weeks
after the workshop.
For those involved in the specific projects to be discussed, we
believe the best way to achieve the goals of the workshop is for you
and your staff to attend the workshop in person and have an open and
frank face-to-face dialogue. However, we understand that budgetary and
other constraints may limit travel to Washington, DC. Therefore, we
have made alternative arrangements for you to listen, view, or
participate in the workshop through the Internet, video conferencing,
or teleconferencing.
The Capitol Connection offers the opportunity for remote listening
and viewing of the conference. It is available for a fee, live over the
Internet, by phone or via satellite. Persons interested in receiving
the broadcast, or who need information on making arrangements should
