Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on November 17, 2008. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc. E8–26192 Filed 11–03–08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Electronic Tariff Filings; Notice of Effectiveness of Regulations dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES October 28, 2008. In Order No. 714, the Commission revised its filing regulations to, among other things, accommodate electronic filing of tariffs and tariff related materials. While Order No. 714 becomes effective November 3, 2008, the Commission delayed required implementation of the electronic filing requirements until at least April 1, 2010 to provide sufficient time for filers to develop tariff filing software based on the standards adopted in Order No. 714. Tariff filings, therefore, must continue to be made on paper using pre-existing procedures and designation requirements until the Commission has a further opportunity to examine its filing systems and processes in light of the eTariff requirements. However, many of the changes to the Commission’s regulations are not dependent on the electronic filing of tariffs and tariff related materials. In order to permit gas and oil pipelines and electric utilities to take advantage of those revisions not directly related to electronic filing, these revisions will become effective on November 3, 2008. To assist in identifying the tariff revisions that become effective on November 3, 2008, the following describes the status of specific provisions that would appear to be of 15:23 Nov 03, 2008 Jkt 217001 A. Electronic Service (§§ 35.2(e), 154.2, 154.208, 341.2) The regulations permitting electronic service for initial rate filings will take effect November 3, 2008. B. Joint Tariff Filings Order No. 714 (P 61–63) permits public utilities filing the identical tariff filings on behalf of two or more companies to designate a single company to file revisions to the tariff, along with the required certificate of concurrence. As of November 3, 2008, public utilities can make joint filings in this manner by designating the filer and making a paper filing including only a single copy of the tariff using the designated filer’s tariff designation requirements. The first time filings are made using this procedure, the filings must include a single tariff page for each of the non-designated companies providing the name of the tariff and the utility designated to file the tariff on behalf of the other companies. C. Revisions Related to Tariff Withdrawals and Amendments (§ 35.17 and 154.205) These provisions will take effect on November 3, 2008. [Docket No. RM01–5–000] VerDate Aug<31>2005 the most concern to filers and the public. D. Miscellaneous Provisions 1. Notices of Cancellation (§ 35.15) Part 131’s ‘‘Notice of Cancellation’’ is eliminated as of November 3, 2008. Instead of filing a notice, revised Section 35.15(a) requires that a tariff filing be made to cancel a rate schedule, tariff or service agreement. Until the implementation of electronic filing, the tariff filing must follow the paper filing requirements using pre-existing procedures and designation requirements. 2. Notices of Succession (§ 35.16 and 154.603) ‘‘Notices of Succession’’ are eliminated as of November 3, 2008. Instead of filing a notice, revised sections 35.16 and 154.603 provide the new tariff must be refiled within 30 days of the date of succession. Until the implementation of electronic filing, the tariff filing must follow the paper filing requirements using pre-existing procedures and designation requirements. 3. Section 311 Pipeline’s Statement of Conditions (§ 284.123) An NGPA section 311 pipeline’s statement of conditions must include a rate summary, as of November 3, 2008. PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65599 4. Oil Pipeline Tariff Symbols (§ 341.2(b)(10)(i)) The revised list of tariff identification symbols must be used as of November 3, 2008. E.

The technical conference will be held on November 6, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and November 7, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Eastern Time) at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.

PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The technical conference will focus on the compensation provided to nonResource Adequacy resources that receive Exceptional Dispatch instructions and the constraints, which are not fully modeled, that may result in a more frequent than originally expected use of the Exceptional Dispatch mechanism. This conference is not intended to address broader issues concerning the overall Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) implementation. Specifically, Commission staff is interested in obtaining information related to the following questions and concerns: 1. Compensation for non-Resource Adequacy resources under Exceptional Dispatch in light of the October 16, 2008 order in this docket including consideration of: • How such compensation compares to compensation for non-Resource Adequacy resources committed under other backstop capacity mechanisms, e.g., ICPM, TCPM and RCST; • The Commission’s proposed pricing remedy including its proposed means to avoid the potential for ‘‘double payment’’ of certain resources; • Whether mitigation is appropriate and, if so, under what circumstances and at what level; and • How should partial non-resource adequacy resources and self-scheduled resources that are exceptionally dispatched be compensated. 2. Reliability requirements that the CAISO describes as ‘‘transitory’’ in nature.1 3. Why the full network cannot be modeled, as well as issues related to known constraints (e.g., Path 26, San Francisco Bay Area/Delta Dispatch), and the costs, benefits, and practicality of addressing these reliability requirements with Exceptional Dispatch. 4. The anticipated frequency and trend of Exceptional Dispatch instructions, especially for nonResource Adequacy resources, as well as all additional scenarios that may require Exceptional Dispatch instructions that were not specifically referenced in the CAISO’s original proposal in ER08– 1178–000, including Forbidden Operating Regions. Staff expects the CAISO to prepare a brief presentation (approximately 15 minutes) to address each question. Following the presentation, staff will have the opportunity to ask follow-up questions and participants will then 1 CAISO’s June 27, 2008 Amendment to Revise Exceptional Dispatch Provisions of the MRTU Tariff, Docket No. ER08–1178–000, Transmittal Letter at 21–22.
