??????? For those of you that have not yet seen the FERC's "Staff 
Recommendation on Prospective Market Monitoring and Mitigation for the 
California Wholesale Electric Power Market" and the Notice of Opportunity for 
Comment, I am attaching them for your review prior to tomorrow's ISO/FERC 
Committee conference call at 3:00 PM.? The first 3 1/2 pages give an 
excellent overview.? Since the committee membership for 2001 has not yet been 
established, all IEP members are encouraged to participate.? Please note that 
we only have until March 22 to submit comments on behalf of IEP on this staff 
recommendation, which is clearly of vital interest to the membership.?
