[Docket No. ER98-1090-000]
New England Power Pool; Notice of Filing
December 31, 1997.
Take notice that on December 11, 1997, the New England Power Pool
(NEPOOL or POOL), Executive Committee filed a request for termination
of membership in NEPOOL, with a retroactive date of December 1, 1997,
of Houlton Water Company and Madison Electric Works (collectively, the
Terminating Participants). Such termination is pursuant to the terms of
the NEPOOL Agreement dated September 1, 1971, as amended, and
previously signed by each of the Terminating Participants. The New
England Power Pool Agreement, as amended (the NEPOOL Agreement), has
been designated NEPOOL FPC No. 2.
The Executive Committee states that termination of the Terminating
Participants with a retroactive date of December 1, 1997, would relieve
those entities, at their joint request, of the obligations and
responsibilities of Pool membership and would not change the NEPOOL
Agreement in any manner, other than to remove the Terminating
Participants from membership in the Pool. The Terminating Participants
own no generation or transmission facilities in the New England Control
Area and have received no energy related services from NEPOOL in
December, 1997.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions
or protests should be filed on or before January 13, 1998. 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
are available for public inspection.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
