Take notice that on March 26, 2014, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) will hold a technical conference on the Revisions to Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Filing Process. The conference will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (EST), in the Commission Meeting Room at 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. The public may attend.

Commission staff will demonstrate the new EQR filing system announced in Order No. 770.^[1] The new filing system includes two options for filing EQRs: one that will allow EQR users to file through a Web interface on the Commission's Web site, and a second that will allow an EQR filer to file its EQR in an Extensible Mark-up Language formatted file. At the conference, staff will discuss the filing system using examples of both the XML and Web interface approaches that the Commission believes parties will find useful ahead of the new filing system “go-live” date.

Any additional information regarding the agenda for the technical conference will be posted prior to the conference on the Calendar of Events on the Commission's Web site, www.ferc.gov.
