California Power Exchange Corporation; Notice of Filing

March 19, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 18, 1998, the California Power Exchange 
Corporation (PX) filed for Commission acceptance in this docket, 
pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, an application to 
amend the PX Operating Agreement and Tariff (including Protocols) (PX 
Tariff) and a motion for waiver of the 60-day notice requirement. The 
PX requests that the proposed PX Tariff amendments be made effective as 
of the PX operations date because the amendments are needed for initial 
operations.
    The proposed amendments would correct a potential inequity in the 
PX's Overgeneration procedures that could result from applying the 
equation included in step 2 of PX Tariff Section 3.3.10 and Section 5.6 
of the Bidding and Bid Evaluation Protocol. The proposed amendments 
would also implement a Congestion Fee regime for Zonal Market Clearing 
Prices to eliminate a potential ``gaming'' problem that could result 
from the application of the ISO's Usage Charge. Finally, the amendments 
would amend Section 2 of the PX Scheduling and Control Protocol to 
reflect that the deadlines in the timeline may be temporarily amended 
or suspended during operations.
    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 18 CFR 385.214). All such 
motions or protests should be filed on or before March 27, 1998. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make the 
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.
