In a Federal register Notice of Inquiry dated February 2, 2006, DOE requested public input on geographic areas or transmission corridors for which there is a particular acute need for early designation. All available data and information supporting a determination that severe needs exist was also requested.

The Department has decided to defer action on all early requests for designation of National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors ("National Corridors") until after it has completed its national transmission congestion study, which the Department plans to complete by early August 2006.  The Department is seeking to devote full attention to completing the technical aspects of the national congestion study, prior to designating National Corridors.
