    In a Notice of Technical Conference issued September 17, 2004, the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced that it would host a 
technical conference on Wednesday, October 13, 2004 to discuss 
infrastructure issues for the State of Connecticut and the surrounding 
region. The technical conference will be held in Room 2C of the 
Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut. 
The time for the technical conference has been changed. The technical 
conference was previously announced to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 3 
p.m. The technical conference is now scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. (EST) 
and end at 4 p.m.
    The goal of the technical conference is to provide a forum for 
discussion of issues affecting energy infrastructure in and around 
Connecticut. This discussion will take place between federal, state and 
regional leaders and industry representatives. The conference will 
explore proposals for new electric transmission, their impact on 
electric reliability for the region, implications for connectivity with 
the entire New England grid and its relation to neighboring regions, 
the costs of the proposals and possible allocation of those costs. The 
agenda for this meeting is included as Attachment A to this notice.
    The conference is a technical discussion between policy leaders, 
which members of the public are welcome to attend. Registration is not 
required; however, in-person attendees are asked to register for the 
conference on-line by close of business on Monday, October 11, 2004 at

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

conference via Real Audio or a Phone Bridge Connection for a fee.
