Proceeding on Market-based Rates Conference” discussed initiating
a rulemaking proceeding on the adequacy of the current four-prong

are just and reasonable under the Federal Power Act, DeRamus presented
on how an assessment of vertical market power should be included
in the analysis FERC uses to assess whether firms should be granted
market-based rate authority.
DeRamus’ second presentation took place on June 10, 2004,
and was part of the “Technical Conference on Acquisition
and Disposition of Merchant Generation Assets by Public Utilities.”
