(Commission) staff, in conjunction with the U.S.

[[Page 48136]]

Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), 
will convene, in the above-referenced proceeding, a virtual workshop on 
September 16, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, to 
discuss technical assistance in electric proceedings, solicit public 
input on their technical assistance needs, and explore ways the Office 
of Public Participation (OPP) could work with external entities to 
facilitate technical assistance to interested parties. The workshop 
will be held remotely.
    The workshop will include a panelist discussion on technical 
assistance followed by facilitated break-out sessions for attendees to 
discuss their technical assistance needs. The workshop will explore 
barriers preventing the public, including consumers and consumer 
advocates, from fully participating in Commission proceedings and 
explore how OPP can facilitate technical assistance.
    The workshop will be open for the public to attend, and there is no 
fee for attendance. Further details on the agenda, including 
registration information, can be found on the PNNL website. Information 
on this technical workshop will also be posted on the Calendar of 
Events on the Commission's website, www.ferc.gov, prior to the event.
