How the UIG's Data Standards Can Influence Deregulation in the United
States (Jay LeDuc)
An Energy Service Provider's "vision" of how data standards can
influence
deregulation.  A review of the effectiveness of standard transactions,
with
examples from CA, MA, RI, NH, PA, etc.  Additionally, a review of some
areas where the UIG could become involved and increase our effectiveness
and influence.  As additional states adopt competition, their regulators
will be looking for ways to ensure that necessary data exchanges
facilitate
competition while protecting consumers.  The UIG can become the de facto
standards-setting body in this arena if the membership is willing to
commit
their support.  Otherwise, we will have to deal with what is mandated
for
us.

2:45 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
UIG Presence in Deregulation - Next Steps (Kim Wall)
Roundtable on what's been happening since our last meeting: CA
experience,

tutorial materials, etc.  Brainstorming about what to do next to get our
standards accepted.

U.S. Government Financial EDI (Ron Kerver)
A roundtable workgroup to discuss the variety of ways that Federal
Agencies
have attempted to comply with Federal EFT '99 mandates. Many Federal
agencies are trying to comply with the mandate by sending a direct
deposit
of funds to pay for goods or services and then either mailing or faxing
the
remittance information about the payment; however, sending funds
electronically without sending the accompanying remittance information
causes problems in cash application.  Representatives from the Financial
Management Service of the U.S. Treasury will attend this session to
discuss
our concerns.
