    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 
    contact Shirley Al-Jarani or Julia Morelli at the Capitol Connection at 
    (703) 993-3100 no later than February 15, 1999. In addition, National 
    Narrowcast Network's Hearing-On-the-Line service covers all FERC 
    meetings live by telephone so that interested persons can listen at 
    their desks, from their homes, or from any phone, without special 
    equipment. Billing is based on time on-line. Call (202) 966-2211 for
