Take notice that Commission staff will convene a technical conference in the above-referenced proceeding on Wednesday, September 5, 2007, at 10 a.m. (EDT) in Room 3M-2A at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.

The Commission's July 24, 2007 order^[1] in this proceeding directed staff to hold a technical conference to address the issues of whether Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's (BG&E's) proposed Transmission Owner Incentive (TOI) projects are non-routine and thereby satisfy the Commission's nexus requirement between BG&E's proposed 100-basis point return on equity incentive adder and its overall investment in the TOI projects.

To assist Commission staff and the parties to prepare for the conference, BG&E is directed to file its presentation for the conference on or before August 24, 2007. The presentation should address in detail the issues raised by the Commission in Paragraphs 48-55 and 60-64 of the July 24 Order on routine v. non-routine projects being eligible for transmission rate incentives. All parties will have an opportunity to file written comments to address BG&E's filing after the technical conference at a date to be established at the conference.
