As announced in a Notice of Technical Conference, issued September 27, 2004, in the above referenced proceedings, a technical conference will be held on October 8, 2004, in Jackson, Mississippi. The conference will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Central Time) at the Mississippi Department of Education Building, 359 N. West Street, Jackson, Mississippi (parking for this meeting is available in the Robert E. Lee Building, directly across the street from the Department of Education Building, on the 7th and 8th floors of the garage). Members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are expected to participate, along with Entergy Services, Inc's (Entergy) state and local utility regulators.

Following is a description of how the conference will be organized. To encourage dialog and discussion, the Commission is not expecting presentations or prepared remarks from market participants. Rather, the Commission intends this to be a working session.

The morning session will address Entergy's Weekly Procurement Process (WPP) proposal. Issues we would like to explore include: Transparency of information; refinement of the types of products to be offered through the WPP; the interplay of the WPP and the Available Flowgate Capability (AFC); the respective roles and responsibilities of the Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT), Entergy Management Organization (EMO), and Entergy Transmission in the WPP; to what extent do customers benefit from better economic dispatch; and any additional issues or concerns that participants wish to discuss related to the WPP.

We note that Entergy and the market participants have had two meetings in our offices intended as a follow-up to address certain questions and concerns expressed during the July 28 and 29, 2004 Technical Conference held in New Orleans. We will first provide Entergy and the market participants the opportunity to provide us with an update on any progress made to resolve issues.

The afternoon session will discuss the ICT proposal. Specifically, issues we would like to explore include: how could the ICT proposal be changed to be more independent; what additional roles or functionalities should the ICT assume; and what stakeholder processes, if any, would be appropriate for the ICT, in its formation and on-going operations.

Parties will have the opportunity to file supplemental comments following the conclusion of the conference.

The conference is open for the public to attend and preregistration is not required; however, attendees are asked to register for the conference on-line by close of business on Wednesday, October 6, at http://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/entergy-1008-form.asp .
