    The purpose of this technical conference is to obtain additional

additional information regarding, but not limited to, the following:

transmission and distribution systems.
    2. How ED-3 delineates transmission and distribution facilities;
    3. The point(s) of receipt for energy received from the Arizona 
Public Service Company (APS) system; the point(s) of interconnection 
where energy is delivered to APS customers; the location of lines 
(indicate voltage levels), transformers, breakers, switches, meters 
used to serve such customers; APS extensions used to serve APS load 
outside of the ED-3 system; and the location of facilities currently 
under construction and planned for the next five years;
    4. Whether there are there any customers other than APS served 
simultaneously from the point(s) or connected to the line(s) where APS 
customers receive energy; and,
    5. Identification of all paths by which APS customers are served 
and the identification of any alternative paths by which APS customers 
may be served in both normal system state and during contingencies.
