The purpose of these technical conferences is to elicit further input from interested stakeholders on the possible elements of the National Action Plan as discussed in the Discussion Draft on Possible Elements of a National Action Plan on Demand Response (Discussion Draft) to be released for comment prior to the technical conferences. The Discussion Draft will be noticed at https://www.ferc.gov when it is available. In addition, the Commission seeks input from a broad range of industry stakeholders, state regulatory utility commissioners, and non-governmental groups regarding the best ways to meet the objectives that Congress identified for the National Action Plan: (1) Identification of requirements for technical assistance to States to allow them to maximize the amount of demand response resources that can be developed and deployed; (2) design and identification of requirements for implementation of a national communications program that includes broad-based customer education and support; (3) development or identification of analytical tools, information, model regulatory provisions, model contracts, and other support materials for use by customers, States, utilities and demand response providers.2 Commission Staff will draw on the comments received and the discussion at the technical conferences to prepare a draft of the National Action Plan. There will be panel sessions in the morning of the technical conferences to discuss the overall approach to and scope of the National Action Plan, followed by afternoon breakout sessions that will focus on each of the three statutory objectives above. A closing plenary session will summarize the break-out discussions to identify possible areas of consensus. Those interested in speaking on the morning panels at the conferences should notify the Commission by September 25, 2009 by completing an online form describing the elements that they will address: for Washington, https://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/ registration/nap-10–22-speakerform.asp; for Portland, https:// www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/ nap-10–27-speaker-form.asp.
