[Docket No. EL96-37-000]
Take notice that on February 28, 1996, Pacific Gas & Electric
Company (PG&E) tendered for filing a Petition for Declaratory Order. In
its Petition, PG&E requests the Commission to issue an order declaring
that PG&E is not obligated to interconnect and provide transmission
service in connection with a transaction proposed by Modesto Irrigation
District and Destec Power Services, Inc. and that the proposed
transaction is contrary to the Federal Power Act and not in the public
interest.
Comment date: March 26, 1996, in accordance with Standard Paragraph

2. New Charleston Power, L.L.P.
[Docket No. ER94-734-000]
Take notice that on February 14, 1996, New Charleston Power,
tendered for filing a Petition for Approval of Initial Rate Schedule
Request for Waivers. New Charleston requests that its contract rate be
approved, effective January 1, 1993, for sales of electric energy and
capacity purchased during calendar year 1993 from the Mesquite Lake
Facility by Southern California Edison Company (Edison).
New Charleston states that it filed its contract rate on December
30, 1993 in Docket No. ER94-734-000 pursuant to the Commission's Prior
Notice and Filing Requirements Under Part II of the Federal Power Act,
64 FERC para. 61,139, order on reh'g, 65 FERC para. 61,081 (1993). It
contends that the rate became effective when the Commission failed to
reject, suspend or otherwise take action on this filing within the
statutory period.
To support its contract rate on a cost of service basis, New
Charleston has filed schedules demonstrating that the contract rate is
lower than the cost of service of the Mesquite Lake Facility in 1993,
using both actual and hypothetical capital structures and the embedded
costs of the Facility during the calendar year. New Charleston
maintains that this cost support confirms that the contract rate should
be approved as the just and reasonable rate for 1993.
A copy of the Petition was served on all parties of record in
Docket No. ER94-734-000.

identifies MPC's interconnections with the Western Area Power
Administration (WAPA) as the points of delivery for this surplus
energy. MPC is requesting that this surplus energy be delivered to
alternate delivery points on the Basin/WAPA Joint Transmission System
(JTS) to the extent transmission capacity is available at these
alternate delivery points. Due to the nature of the JTS, the
transmission service requested by MPC is expected to result in some
utilization of WAPA transmission facilities. MPC requests this
transmission service effective immediately and continuing through the
expiration of the Surplus Energy Agreement on October 31, 1996. MPC is
requesting that alternate delivery points be made available for all
energy (up to 100 mwh/hr) that MPC may purchase under the Surplus
Energy Agreement.

both firm and non-firm transmission service alternate delivery points o

service is not available and an explanation as to why firm service
cannot be provided at these delivery points.
