accommodations.

The workshop will consist of two

sessions to be organized as follows:

In the morning, staff plans to discuss

issues related to implementing the

proposal that intrastate pipelines post

flow and capacity information of a daily

basis. Participants are invited to bring

up their implementation questions and

issues. Some of the questions of interest

to staff include:

1. Under the proposal, what are

workable definitions of the terms

‘‘intrastate Docket Nos. RM07–10–000

and AD06–11–000 pipeline,’’ ‘‘major’’

and ‘‘segments?’’

2. How can posting requirements be

adjusted to accommodate particular

pipeline operational characteristics?

3. What and at what locations do

intrastate pipelines already collect

information for use in day-to-day

operations? Can the proposal be

modified to make effective use of

existing information?

4. Which types of pipelines should be

exempt (e.g., pipelines with a single

customer)? Others?

5. What should be the de minimis

criterion? (Criteria proposed in the

comments include, e.g., three

customers, 50,000 Dth/d, less than 110

miles, and less-than 24 inch diameter.)

6. What is a realistic turnaround time

for posting?

7. Are there strategies to develop the

same or similar information that would

impose less of a burden on intrastate

pipelines?

After a lunch break, staff plans to

discuss implementing the proposal to

collect aggregated annual data from

buyers and sellers of physical natural

gas. Again, the focus is to be on

implementation issues. The following

are possible questions to address at the

workshop. Some of the questions of

interest to staff include:

1. Do the questions set forth in the

Appendix of the NOPR elicit sufficient

data to assess the overall size of the

physical wholesale markets as well as

the relative portion that form price

indices versus the portion that use or

depend on price indices?

2. What specific formats, definitions

and submittal technology should be

used to ensure consistency of data for

accurate aggregation and analysis?

3. What information should be made

public? When?

4. Given various annual reporting

obligations, what is a reasonable annual

report date?

5. Is any additional information

needed?

Questions regarding the conference

should be directed to Lee Choo by email at lee-ken.choo@FERC.gov or by

phone at 202–502–6334.
