Dear Vincent,  I'm Jay Rickerts, back from vacation feeling refreshed and rejuvenated - I hope everyone had a great holiday season.   ENL's Washington bureau is scheduled to sit down with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Pat Wood on Tuesday. Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook tells me he will ask Wood about some of the major issues facing the Commission in 2002.  Also, former FERC Commissioner Don Santa joins us during the 11:00 a.m. ET newscast to provide his insight on the future of the FERC. Peter also says the FERC will resume work Tuesday on the California refund case - we'll bring you an update.   The attorneys general of nine northeastern states are hosting a news conference regarding emissions policy on Tuesday.  Peter says the group is expected to warn the Bush administration their states will consider legal action against the federal government if a pending review of the nation's emissions rules leads to a relaxation of enforcement against power plants and refineries.  Join us for this report from the Washington bureau.   We've got more on the FERC for you from the Houston bureau on Tuesday.  Kim Benestante will speak with Gulfstream Communications Director Chris Stockton about his company's FERC filing.  We'll get details from Stockton during the 1:00 p.m. ET newscast tomorrow.   Also from Houston, Paragon Engineering Director of Business Development Barbara Thompson will join us at noon ET to discuss pipeline safety.  She'll bring us an update on the federal deadline coming up in March 2002 regarding "high-consequence areas" for pipelines.   Finally, Raymond James & Associates Managing Director Marshall Adkins says the current energy situation isn't like the last downturn in 1998, but more like the bust of 1972 - '73. Adkins will give us an explanation at 2:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.   West Coast Correspondent Kym McNicholas will bring us an update Tuesday on the California legislature's return to session for 2002.  Kym also tells me California Governor Gray Davis' State of the State address is set for Tuesday evening.  Davis is expected to address last year's energy crisis in California and what they expect this year.   We'll also have more from California ISO Manager of Market Design Lorenzo Kristov as he talks to Kym about the ISO's new plan scheduled for release on Tuesday.  Don't miss these reports from Sacramento tomorrow.
