Looks good.  Why doesn't EPSA propose a timeline for the FERC to order?  This could be a signal that we only want one "rule change" date.  Also, maybe we can build in Kevin's argument about uncertainty hurting liquidity and market dynamics right now.

RE: EPSA Second Draft Comments on the Southeast
      Mediation Report by Judge McCartney

Attached are the second draft comments on the Southeast Mediation Report prepared by Judge McCartney and issued on September 10, 2001 (Docket No. RT01-100-000).    EPSA comments that FERC's continued involvement in the Southeast RTO process is needed, outlines a suggested schedule of milestones and deadlines, and consolidates the primary points that the generator and marketer sectors have previously submitted to the Judge.

Comments on the Mediation Report are due at FERC on Tuesday, October 9th.   Please forward any comments or proposed changes to the draft to Jack Cashin at jcashin@epsa.org no later than the close of business on Thursday, October 4th so that we can make this filing in a timely manner.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jack at 202-628-8200.
