Company (PGE) tendered for filing a revised Application for Order
Accepting Initial Rate Schedule and Granting Waivers and Blanket
Authority, to become effective March 31, 1998.
The proposed tariff (FERC Electric Service Tariff No. 10) provides
the terms and conditions pursuant to which PGE will sell electric
capacity and energy transactions on the California Power Exchange (PX).
In these transactions, PGE intends to charge market-based rates as
determined by the auction settlement procedures prescribed by the PX

Corporation filed in Docket No. ER96-1663.
Copies of this filing were served upon the Oregon Public Utility
Commission and the California PX.

7. California Power Exchange Corporation
[Docket No. ER98-2095-000]
Take notice that on December 16, 1997, the California Power
Exchange Corporation (PX) tendered for filing one executed copy of the
PX Participation Agreement pursuant to the requirement that all service
agreements be filed pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act.
In so doing, the PX requests that the Commission disclaim jurisdiction
over the filing of such PX Participation Agreements (and related
addenda) because those agreements are not agreements for the sale of
transmission of energy in interstate commerce, no do the agreements
affect the rate for energy traded through the PX. Therefore, the PX
Participation Agreement is not the type of contract that is required to
be filed pursuant to Section 205. In the alternative, the PX requests
that if the Commission finds that the agreements are of the type
required to be filed, the PX requests that the Commission grant a
waiver of such filing requirement for the reasons set forth in the
filing.
For informational purposes, the PX also files three addenda to the
PX Participation Agreement that it requires to implement specific
provisions of Rate Schedule 1 of the PX Tariff, which was filed on
October 17, 1997, in Docket No. ER98-210-000. The PX believes that
because these addenda implement provisions already filed with the
Commission, it is unnecessary for them to be filed pursuant to Section
205. However, to the extent that the Commission finds that these
addenda must be filed to be part of the PX Tariff, the PX requests that
the Commission accept its filing as a filing pursuant to Section 205
and requests that the Commission grant any waivers necessary for those
tariff changes to become effective on January 1, 1998.
Copies of the filing were served upon all parties in Docket Nos.
EC96-19-008 and ER96-1663-009.
Comment date: April 3, 1998, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
E at the end of this notice.

[Docket No. ER98-2160-000]
Take notice that on March 11, 1998, San Diego Gas & Electric
Company filed for Commission approval in this docket, pursuant to
Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, amendments to SDG&E's proposed
Master Must Run Agreement (MMRA) to be entered into with the California
Independent System Operator (ISO), originally filed on October 31,
1997, in Docket No. ER98-496-000. The amendments would add Black Start
service from some units to the ancillary services already provided by
SDG&E under these agreements; modify billing, settlement and payment
procedures to conform to current ISO practices; and update and correct
unit performance data. SDG&E has requested that these proposed changes
be consolidated with the existing proceeding. SDG&E requests that the
proposed amended MMRA be made effective subject to refund by March 31,
1998, the anticipated effective date of the California Independent
System Operator Corporation.
SDG&E has served this filing on all parties listed on the official
service list in Docket No. ER98-496, including the Public Utilities
