Take notice that on July 24, 2003, at 10 a.m., the Trial Staff of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will convene a plenary
conference in the above-referenced case in Hearing Room 1 at the
Commission, 888 1st Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Trial Staff
requests that a representative from all ``Identified Entities'' named
in the Commission's June 25, 2003, Order to Show Cause Concerning
Gaming and/or Anomalous Market Behavior, have a representative present
at this conference. Trial Staff further requests that any party who
intervenes in the instant proceeding similarly have a representative
present at this conference. Trial Staff notes at the outset that it
will not deem any party (Identified Entity or intervenor) that attends
the conference and who wishes to raise a claim of jurisdiction before
the Commission as having waived that claim merely by attending the
conference.
Trial Staff is convening this conference for several purposes.
First, Trial Staff wants to share with all of the parties in the case
the approach it intends to take to deal with each individual Identified
Entity included within the Commission's order to show cause in this
case. Similarly, Trial Staff seeks to insure that all intervenors are
afforded the opportunity to play a reasonable role during the course of
the case. In that regard, Trial Staff will meet with all intervenors at
2 p.m. on July 24 in Hearing Room 1.
At the conclusion of this notice, Trial Staff sets forth the name
of each Identified Entity from the Commission's June 25, 2003 order and
has, for the purposes of initial contact, divided those entities among
the three Trial Staff attorneys assigned to this case. A number of
these Identified Entities have already contacted members of the Trial
Staff regarding the procedures Trial Staff is proposing to follow in
the instant case. Some of the Identified Entities have sought meetings
with the Trial Staff team and some have expressed a willingness to
expeditiously resolve their potential liability. To the extent that any
Identified Entity has not yet contacted the Trial Staff, they are urged
to contact the Trial Staff attorney identified in this Notice prior to
the July 24, 2003 plenary conference. Similarly, a point of contact for
all intervenors is identified. Trial Staff specifically requests that,
at a minimum, all Identified Entities and intervenors
[[Page 42013]]
provide Trial Staff in advance of the June 24, 2003 conference the
name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address of a contact person
for the purposes of this case.
Trial Staff is willing to meet with individual Identified Entities
prior to the conference, at a break in the conference, or following the
conference and the meeting with the intervenors. At this juncture,
Trial Staff is not willing to discuss potential jurisdictional issues
with individual parties or factual or legal questions more properly
addressed in petitions for rehearing and/or clarification of the
Commission's June 25, 2003 order. Rather, Trial Staff is interested in
determining each Identified Entities' reaction to the calculations
submitted by the California Independent System Operation (CAISO) and in
determining each Identified Entities' willingness to expeditiously
resolve the instant case. At a minimum, each Identified Entity should
come to the July 24, 2003 conference with the ability to comment on the
CAISO's analysis and on its own willingness to resolve the case.
