July 19, 2006.

A technical conference was convened on Monday, June 12, 2006, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. at the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The technical conference addressed, among other things, the two issues related to Xcel Energy Services Inc.'s (XES) proposed Service Schedules H and I, as discussed in the Commission's order issued on May 5, 2006.¹ Prior to the technical conference, a notice was issued on May 31, 2006, that set forth two questions; namely, why the transfer price proposed in Service Schedule H is different from the transfer price proposed in Service Schedule I, and why XES needs both service schedules. These questions were discussed at the technical conference.

Take notice that the deadline for initial comments pursuant to the discussion at the technical conference is hereby extended. Initial comments originally were due on Wednesday, July 19, 2006. Initial comments are now due no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Reply comments are due no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, August 4, 2006.
