contained in Southern Company Services, limiting pricing of non-power

agreements, within 30 days of commencement of service under those

shown. EPI contends that the changes proposed to Schedule FP are
intended to conform with current Commission policy regarding
competitive bulk power transactions. EPI requests that amended Rate
Schedule FP become effective as of the date of filing, in order to

to be available within 60 days after publication of Order 888.
