Midcoast Interstate Transmission; Notice of Request for Waiver 
and Extension of Time

May 18, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 10, 1999, Midcoast Interstate Transmission 
(MIT) tendered for filing a motion for waiver of EDI requirements and 
an extension of time to comply with electronic communication and 
Internet transaction requirements of Commission Order Nos. 587, 587-B, 
587-C, 587-G, and 587-I.
    In support of its request, MIT asserts that the company is still in 
the process of replacing its existing computer system and, although 
progress has been made on its Website, MIT has not yet been able to 
achieve full compliance with the Commission's existing requirements. 
MIT states that additional time is needed to complete the process. 
Further, MIT requests a continuation of its current one year waiver 
from EDI requirements asserting that MIT's size and customer base lend 
themselves more adequately to Internet Website development and do not 
justify the investment currently required for EDI.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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 proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
