Sarah Novosel and I are hearing rumors from the FERC that the two new RTO
dockets on the agenda for tomorrow may be orders in the Northeast RTOs and
the Southeast RTOs respectively, requiring single regional RTOs. The orders
are still being worked on, but may include technical conferences or
settlement judge proceedings.

Pat Wood is being credited again with pulling together a majority (including
Massey who has wanted a more aggressive approach in the RTO process) to get
these orders on the agenda and hopefully voted out. We will try to get more
information and copies of the orders as soon as they are available.

Donna Fulton and Sarah Novosel

Subject: FERC Agenda

FERC has two meetings in July (July 11 and 25) and then is on recess for the
month of August. The next FERC meeting after July will not be held until
September 12. Consequently, FERC tries to get out as many orders as it can
in July so the backlog is not as great in September.

Consistent with that goal, FERC has included a lot of cases on its July 11
agenda. While some of these cases may be stricken from the agenda for July
11(and either deferred to the July 25 meeting or until September), we are
still expecting a lot of action from FERC in July. The following cases are
on FERC's July 11 agenda:

RTO Proceedings

Alliance RTO

SPP and Entergy RTOs

PJM and PJM West RTOs

New York RTO

New England RTO

RTO West

Southern RTO

Two new RTO dockets entitled "Regional Transmission Organizations"

Other Proceedings

Mirant vs. ISO New England (June 20, 2001 complaint by Mirant regarding ISO's
proposal to revise procedures for mitigation of generators run out of
economic merit order during transmission constraints).

NYSEG v. NYISO (regarding ISO's hybrid fixed block pricing rule)

NERC (these are old docket numbers that go back to orders issued in 1999
regarding TLR -- Southern and VEPCO sought rehearing of the TLR procedures in
June, 1999, arguing that they could result in shedding load. FERC may be
responding to those rehearing requests).

HQ v. NYISO (regarding HQ's request for FERC to order ISO to reinstate the
May 8, 2000 market clearing price)

Maine PUC vs. New England ISO (regarding the PUC's complaint against the NE
ISO asking FERC to direct the ISO to recalculate the energy clearing price on
May 8, 2000).

California Proceedings

San Diego Gas & Electric v. Sellers (Docket No. EL00-95-038 -- several
parties have already sought rehearing of the June 19 order -- this could be a
non-substantive tolling order (putting on hold these requests for rehearing),
or it could be something more substantive.

Removing Obstacles to Increased Electric Generation and Natural Gas Supply in
the Western United States

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these proceedings.
