Subject:	Agenda items for Nov. 7th FERC Meeting

____________________________________________________________

On the agenda for next week's FERC Sunshine meeting are the following:

Administrative Items:

A-1: Agency Administrative Matters, Docket AD02-1
A-2: Legislative Matters, Docket AD02-2


Gas Items:

G-13: Northern Border Pipeline, RP01-267-001.  Rate T1-B firm backhaul service; this service was accepted and suspended by the FERC on March 30, 2001.  There has been no subsequent action by FERC on the tariff filing.

G-15:  Midwestern Gas Transmission, MG01-30-000.  Midwestern's revised standards of conduct under Order 637. 

C-3:  Northern Natural Gas, CP01-403-000:  Northern's application to construct and modify facilities at the Bellville Compressor Station in Green County, Wisconsin.  The facilities are necessary to meet current Northern customer obligations in light of increased pressure that will result from the addition of Guardian Pipeline. 

G-3:  Kern River Gas Transmission System, RP00-157-005.  Kern River's Firm Customer Group has protested a negotiated rate that allows the use of unlimited transportation at receipt and delivery points other than those listed for the backhaul services, at negotiated rates, including an index spread rate adjustment for apparent forward haul transportation.  The Firm Customers are concerned that this model will allow for additional forward haul firm capacity to be sold at already "constrained and oversold California delivery points, such as Wheeler Ridge," resulting in (1) degraded service for preexisting firm shippers [who are already experiencing reliability problems], and (2) increased delivery rates to California, "similar to those that occurred on Transwestern Pipeline Company?."

 C-1: Cross Bay Pipeline and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line, CP00-412-000:  This may be a certificate for Transco's Cross Bay Pipeline, a new 614,628 Dth/d interstate pipeline system that would extend from Middlesex County, NJ, across the lower New York Bay, all the way to Nassau County, NY.  Transco will lease approx. two-thirds of that capacity from Cross Bay.

Electric Items:

E-1:  FERC/State Partnerships, EX02-6.  This should be the Staff report to the Commissioners on a suggested formal structure for ongoing communications between FERC and state commissions and representatives (as discussed at the Oct. 24th Sunshine meeting).

E-2:  Electricity Market Design and Structure, RM01-12-000.  FERC issued summaries of the RTO Week discussions and has asked for comments.
