This is an update of the Email below.  With respect to DOE efforts to draft
electricity legislation, a list of potential items for the bill are being
discussed this afternoon with Secretary Abraham.  DOE hopes to have a draft
bill submitted to the White House by Friday, June 15, for consideration by
the VP Task Force.   Similar to efforts other private sector parties are
undoubtedly taking, I would like to submit to DOE our suggestions for the
legislation.  As mentioned below, this bill will not include open access, but
there are issues related to access which we may want to submit to DOE such as
how to deal with non-jurisdictional entities.  Other topics on which we may
want to submit legislative language are PUHCA (the reporting requirements),
interconnection, reliability, negawatts, RTO ownership issues, and eminent
domain.  DOE seem very willing to deal with the non-jurisdictional entities,
either in the rulemaking context or by legislation.  Tom Briggs will be
following up with appropriate folks on this project.   If you have any other
ideas for this effort, please let us know ASAP.
