If we have draft tariff language, I'd push pretty hard.

Cc:=09Shapiro, Richard Subject:=09ICC- Balancing On Friday, I participated in ICC Chairman Mathias' Roundtable on the state = of competition in Illinois. One of the questions he asked was what the ICC= could do to improve competition in Illinois. I commented that the ICC cou= ld commence an investigation on the balancing rules of the various utilitie= s, having pointed out the problem's with ComEd's and the fact that the othe= r utilities are even worse. He expressed concern over ICC jurisdiction and= opined that to the extent that it impacts retail transactions and adversel= y affects retail competition, the ICC is within its jurisdiction to order t= he utilities to file an amended OATT before FERC for FERC's approval. I pl= an to follow-up with a letter to him and all the Commissioners and would li= ke feedback as to how hard I should push on this. Should the ICC look into= balancing (to which I give a less than 50% probability) we would have to b= e prepared to participate. I think it would be highly worth the effort, es= pecially as far as Illinois Power is concerned, however, I would like some = feedback as to your views in order to guage how hard to push this. Thanks, Janine
