[Docket No. AD22-9-000]


New England Winter Gas-Electric Forum; Supplemental Notice of New 
England Winter Gas-Electric Forum

    As announced in the Notice of Forum issued in the above-referenced 
proceeding on May 19, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led forum on Thursday, 
September 8, 2022, from approximately 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, to 
discuss the electricity and natural gas challenges facing the New 
England Region. A preliminary agenda for this forum is attached. The 
Commission will issue a further supplemental notice with a full agenda 
and the confirmed panelists prior to the forum. The forum will be open 
to the public and held in the Emerald I & II Ballroom at the DoubleTree 
by Hilton Burlington Vermont, 870 Williston Rd, South Burlington, VT, 
05403.
    The purpose of the forum is to bring together stakeholders in New 
England to discuss the challenges faced historically during New England 
winters and discuss the stakeholders' differing expectations of 
challenges for future winters. The objectives of the forum are to 
achieve greater consensus or agreement among stakeholders in defining 
the electric and natural gas system challenges in New England and 
identify what, if any, steps are needed to better understand those 
challenges before identifying solutions.
    While the forum is not for the purpose of discussing any specific 
matters before the Commission, some forum discussions may involve 
issues raised in proceedings that are currently pending before the 
Commission. These proceedings include, but are not limited to:

required by fire and building safety code). Therefore, the Commission 
encourages members of the public who wish to attend this event in 
person to register at their earliest convenience. Online registration 
will be open, as long as attendance capacity is available, until the 
day before the forum (September 7). Once registration has reached 
capacity, registration will be closed. However, those interested in 
attending after capacity has been reached can join a waiting list 
(using the same registration link) and be notified if space becomes 
available. Those who are unable to attend in person may watch the free 
webcast.
    The webcast will allow persons to listen and observe the forum 
remotely but not participate. Information on this forum, including a 
link to the webcast, will be posted prior to the event on this forum's 
event page on the Commission's website. A recording of the webcast will 
be made available after the forum in the same location on the Calendar 
of Events. The forum will be transcribed. Transcripts of the forum will 
be available for a fee from Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. (202-347-3700).
    Individuals interested in participating as panelists should submit 
a self-nomination email by 5 p.m. Eastern time on August 3, 2022, to

    Additionally, please note that the Commission will be implementing 
health and safety restrictions, as appropriate, associated with the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID Community Level 
mitigations. This may include requiring all participants to wear cloth 
face covers or masks as well as further limiting venue occupancy if
