[Docket No. AD15-5-000]


Available Transfer Capability Standards for Wholesale Electric 
Transmission Services; Notice of Workshop

    Take notice that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
staff will convene a workshop to discuss actions the Commission could 
take to ensure that transmission providers continue to calculate and 
post available transfer capability (ATC) in a manner that ensures 
nondiscriminatory access to wholesale electric transmission services. 
This workshop is prompted by the filing by the North American Electric 
Reliability Corporation proposing changes to its ATC-related 
reliability standards,\1\ and the initiative to replace these standards 
with similarly focused business practice standards to be developed by 
the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB).\2\ The workshop will 
be held on Thursday, March 5, 2015 from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the 
Commission Meeting Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. Commission members may 
participate in the workshop.

    \1\ NERC's proposal is currently pending before the Commission 
in the rulemaking: Modeling, Data, and Analysis Reliability 
Standards, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Docket No. RM14-7-000; 79 
FR 36,269 (June 26, 2014).
    \2\ See, e.g., the December 18, 2014 status report filed by 
NAESB in Docket Nos. RM05-5-000 and RM14-7-000.
