Technical Conference on Year 2000 Issues for the Oil and Natural
Gas Sector; Notice of Technical Conference
January 19, 1999.
Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is
sponsoring a technical conference to be held on Thursday, February 18,
at 9:00 a.m., in the Commission Meeting Room at 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20426. This conference is being held as an outreach for
the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion (Council), which
designated FERC as the lead agency for the oil and gas sector of its
Energy Working Group. The conference will be hosted by the Natural Gas
Council (NGC) and American Petroleum Institute (API). All interested
persons are invited to attend.
The second report in a series of quarterly assessments of Y2K
readiness efforts will be presented by the industry associations that
are part of the Council's oil and gas sector, from the December survey
which was distributed by the industry associations to individual
companies. Survey results will be compiled and aggregated by industry
associations and umbrella organizations (such as NGC, API, and Gas
Industry Standards Board) so that individual company responses remain
anonymous. This conference will focus on promoting awareness of Year
2000 issues and coordinating information sharing on testing and
solutions among companies in the oil and natural gas industries rather
than internal solutions of individual companies.
The oil and gas sector group has developed a Website that is linked
to the Council's Website (www.y2k.gov), where the results and other
related information will be posted and made available to the public.
A more detailed agenda will be published before the conference. The
public may participate during question and answer periods, but no
witness panels will be established. Written comments are welcome at any
time and should reference Docket No. PL98-7-000. For additional
information, please contact Donna La May at (202) 501-2341 or by
electronic mail at donna.lamay@ferc.fed.us.''
The Capitol Connection will broadcast the conference live via
satellite for a fee. For more information about the broadcast, please

meetings live by telephone so that interested persons can listen at
their desks, from their homes, or from any phone, without special
