There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff.  The scoping session is scheduled from 6 pm to 8 pm Eastern Standard Time.  You may call at any time after 6 pm at which time you will be placed on mute and hold.  Calls will be answered in the order they are received.  Once answered, you will have the opportunity to provide your comment directly to a court reporter with FERC staff or representative present on the line.  A time limit of five minutes will be implemented for each commentor.
