The deadline for RTO applications is December 15th and Chairman Pat Wood is expected to spell out at the meeting whether that date could change.    Peter says we'll also have the latest on energy legislation in Congress.  The showdown over energy in the Senate could be on hold indefinitely, due in part to the separate fight over the economic stimulus package.
