    network transmission service (200 MW to effectuate SCEA's provision of 
    Residential Service and 100 MW to effectuate SCEA's provision of 
    Economic Incentive Service), that LILCo make available all necessary 
    ancillary services, and that LILCo make the service available

    and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such motions or 
    protests should be filed on or before the comment date. Protests will 
    be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action 
    to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
    proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
    intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and
