electric competition.  To discuss the Commission's notice and the direction 
of EPSA's comments in response to the notice, we have scheduled a conference 
call for Friday, March 16th at 11:00 a.m. (EST).  The FTC's notice was issued 
at the request of the Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee of the 
U.S. House of Representatives, Billy Tauzin, and the Chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality, Joe Barton.  To comply with the 
request, the Commission will update its July 2000 staff report Competition 
and Consumer Protection Perspectives on Electric Power Regulatory Reform.

The FTC will examine various state retail competition programs and determine 
which features have resulted in consumer benefits, and which have not.  In 
particular, the Commission is interested in information about market 
responses to various provisions of state retail competition plants.  In 
addition, the Commission will also consider possible jurisdictional 
limitations on the states' authority to implement retail competition programs 
and whether there is a need for federal legislative or regulatory action.  A 
copy of the FTC's notice is attached.

To access the March 16th conference call at 11:00 a.m. (EST), please dial 
1-800-937-6563 and ask for the EPSA/Samantha Slater Call.  In the meantime, 
if you have any questions or comments please contact Samantha Slater at 
202-789-7200 or sslater@epsa.org.  The FTC's notice represents an important 
and unique opportunity for EPSA members to discuss what is working and what 
is not in retail markets today.  We encourage as many member companies as 
possible to submit comments.

Also during this conference call, we will discuss what role, if any, EPSA 
should play in states that have already opened their markets to retail 
choice, such as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois.
