California Independent System Operator Corporation; Supplemental 
Notice of Technical Conference

November 5, 2008.
    On October 28, 2008, the Commission issued a Supplemental Notice 
(October 28, 2008 Notice) of a staff technical conference in the above-
captioned proceedings. As stated in the October 28, 2008 Notice, the 
purpose of the technical conference is to further explore the justness 
and reasonableness of the California Independent System Operator 
Corporation's (CAISO) Exceptional Dispatch mechanism and proposed 
mitigation plan. The technical conference will be held on November 6, 
2008, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and November 7, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 12 
p.m. (Eastern Time), in Hearing Room 1, at the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The agenda for this conference is attached. If there are any 
changes, the revised agenda will be posted on the calendar page for 
this event on the Commission's Web site, http://www.ferc.gov. Please 
note that the timeframes are estimates, and if the schedule for 
November 6, 2008 is completed before 4 p.m., discussion will turn to 
issues scheduled for November 7, 2008.
    Also, in an abundance of caution, the instant supplemental notice 
adds Docket No. ER09-213-000, California Independent System Operator 
Submits an Amendment to the Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade 
Tariff, as this filing concerns forbidden operating regions.
    The technical conference will be open for the public to attend and 
advance registration is not required. The conference will be accessible 
via telephone on a listen-only basis for those parties who reserved a 
telephone line pursuant to the instructions provided in the October 28, 
2008 Notice. Staff reiterates that, to the extent possible, individuals 
calling from the same location share a single telephone line.
    All interested persons may file written comments following the 
technical conference on or before November 24, 2008. Reply comments 
will be due on or before December 2, 2008.
