Credit Reforms in Organized Wholesale Electric Markets; Notice of
Agenda for Technical Conference
May 5, 2010.
As announced in the Notice of Technical Conference issued on April
15, 2010, Commission staff will hold a technical conference on May 11,
2010. The purpose of this conference is to discuss the proposal in the
Credit Reforms in Organized Wholesale Electric Markets Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking\1\ regarding whether Independent System Operator
(ISO)/Regional Transmission Operators (RTOs) should adopt certain
tariff revisions to clarify their status as a party to each transaction
so as to eliminate ambiguity regarding their ability to ``set-off''
market obligations and whether this proposal will have additional
ramifications. The conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
(EDT), in the Commission Meeting Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. All interested
persons are invited to attend, and registration is not required.
