El Paso Natural Gas Company; Supplemental Notice of Technical 
Conference

July 1, 1994.
    On June 9, 1994, the Commission issued a notice scheduling a 
technical conference in the above-captioned proceeding for 10:00 a.m. 
on August 11, 1994, at the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 810 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The purpose of the conference is to discuss matters of interest and 
concern raised by several parties relating to El Paso Natural Gas 
Company's (El Paso) proposal to construct and operate the North/South 
Transfer Project. In order to facilitate discussion and assist the 
participants in preparing for the technical conference, El Paso should 
come prepared to address the following issues:
    (1) Whether there are existing alternative means of providing the 
flexibility proposed by El Paso?
    (2) Whether the project is economical based solely on the price 
advantage of the San Juan Basin natural gas?
    (3) Whether a sufficient market exists, including evidence of 
contracts, a showing that a long-term fundamental market shift has 
occurred, and data demonstrating a long-term need for the project?
    (4) Rate issues, including but not limited to the impact on 
existing rates, a showing of system-wide benefits, justification for 
rolling-in costs, and need for an at-risk condition.
    Further, El Paso should be prepared to provide any information, 
data, or studies it may have which responds to any other issues, 
concerns or alleged deficiencies identified by the intervenors.
    All interested parties are invited to attend. For additional 
information, interested parties may call Whit Holden at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
