Assessment
July 21, 2005.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects’ staff has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for an
application for a non-capacity related
amendment of the Lake Almanor
Development of the Upper North Fork
Feather River Project. The Upper North
Fork Feather River Project, FERC No.
2105, is located on the Butt Creek and
North Fork Feather River in Plumas
County, California.
The EA contains the staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the proposal and concludes that
approval of the proposal would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
A copy of the EA is attached to a July
20, 2005, Commission order titled
‘‘Order Approving Application for
Amendment of License and Revised
Exhibit K,’’ which is available for
review and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room
2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may

The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission hereby gives notice that
members of its staff will hold a
technical conference with ISO New
England Inc. (ISO–NE) to discuss certain
aspects of the ‘‘Joint Request for
Clarification, or in the Alternative,
Rehearing; Request for Expedited
Action; and Request for Deferral of
Filing Requirements of ISO New
England Inc. and New England Power
Pool’’ (Joint Request) filed on June 23,
2005 in Docket No. ER05–795–001.
The conference will take place on
Thursday, July 28, 2005 from 8:30 a.m.
to 9:30 a.m. (e.d.t.), in Room 3M–3 of
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First St., NE.,
Washington DC 20426.
Specifically, the purpose of the
conference is to discuss the mechanism
for selecting generating units to provide
Regulation Service as proposed in an
April 7 filing, and how Regulation
Clearing Prices would be established.
The conference will also discuss any
possible inconsistencies in the
description of the mechanism as found
in (i) the proposed Tariff revisions
(especially section III.1.11.5 and section
III.3.2.2), (ii) the Joint Request,1 and (iii)
the proposed revisions to the ISO–NE
Manual for Market Operations, Manual
M–11 (Revision XX—ASM Phase I),
section 3 (especially section 3.2.5).2
During the conference, ISO–NE
should be prepared to explain the
proposed steps that would be taken to
select generators to provide Regulation
Service and to determine the Regulation
1 The Joint Request (at 6–7) describes a 7-step
process for determining the Resources that would
be selected to provide Regulation Service and for
determining the Regulation Clearing Price.
2 The ISO–NE Manual for Market Operations has
not been filed with the Commission. It may be
found on the ISO–NE Web site at https://www.isone.com/rules_proceds/isone_mnls/M–

Clearing Price. To aid in this discussion,
Staff requests ISO–NE to use the
hypothetical example described in the
Appendix to this Notice to illustrate
how Resources would be selected to
provide Regulation Service and how the
Regulation Clearing Price would be
determined. ISO–NE should also be
prepared to explain whether, under its
proposal, the Resources selected to
provide Regulation Service would be
those whose total costs of providing
Regulation Service are the lowest. In
addition, ISO–NE should be prepared to
discuss the rationale for recalculating
updated Regulation Rank Prices for
generating units with Regulation Offer
Prices that are less than the initial
Regulation Clearing Price, as described
in section 3.2.5(2) of the proposed
revision to Manual M–11.
The conference is open for the public
to attend. In addition, a telephone line
will be provided for interested parties to
call in and participate in the conference.

Appendix
The following is a hypothetical example to
be used during the technical conference to
help illustrate how Resources would be
selected to provide Regulation Service and
how the Regulation Clearing Price would be
determined.
Assume that 150 MW of Regulation
Capability must be procured to provide
Regulation Service for a particular hour.
Assume that 6 different Resources, A through
F, have submitted offers to provide
Regulation Service. Each of the 6 Resources
has an Automatic Response Rate of 10 MW
per minute, and thus, a Regulation Capability
of 50 MW (i.e., 10 MW per minute times 5
minutes). Although each Resource has
submitted a different Energy Bid (shown in
