It's been a few years since I reviewed the case law on this.  Perhaps you 
should write a memo reviewing the FERC cases on this issue and if necessary, 
go talk to FERC about whether an RFP will be sufficient to set a just and 
reasonable rate.  Is that okay with you Jim?  Ron - how much would that cost?

Subject: FERC Jurisdiction Over California Investigations

Richard:  In connection with EPMI's contention in the various California 
litigations that they should be dismissed due to FERC's primary jurisdiction, 
it strikes me that it may be helpful to lodge FERC's March 9, 2001 order with 
the Court.  While FERC, in the 12/15 order, established its investigation, 
the March 9 order makes findings and imposes remedies (fortunately not 
against us).  This should enhance the primary jurisdiction argument.  FERC's 
intent to occupy the field could not be more clear.  Ron
