Take notice that on July 16, 1998, Virginia Electric and Power
Company (Virginia Power or the Company), tendered for filing a proposed
amended and restated market-based sales tariff. The proposed tariff is
intended to replace Virginia Power's currently effective market-based

the date of the filing.
Virginia Power states that the purpose of the filing is to amend
its authorization to make sales of capacity and/or energy at market-
based rates and to resell transmission service on a short-term or long-
term basis by more closely reflecting the terms and conditions of other
such tariffs that have been recently approved by the Commission.
Virginia Power states that the tariff filing has no impact on rates,
and that several customers have requested Virginia Power to make the
filing in order to simplify the terms and conditions.
Under the proposed tariff, Virginia Power will not make such
market-based sales to any affiliate without first receiving
authorization from the Commission under Section 205 of the Federal
Power Act. Also, Virginia Power will not provide capacity and/or energy
to loads located within its service territory consistent with the
uncontested offer of settlement certified to the Commission in Docket
No. ER97-3561-000.
Moreover, the proposed tariff does not provide for transmission or
ancillary services, which are provided for on an
[[Page 40524]]
unbundled basis under Virginia Power's Open Access Tariff. Finally, the
tariff retains the commitment to file a study of market power in
Virginia Power's generation market within the time frame ordered in
connection with the Company's currently effective market-based sales
tariff provided for in the September 11, 1997, Order issued in Docket
No. ER97-3561-000.
Virginia Power further states that a copy of this tariff filing has
been served on all customers that are receiving service under Virginia
Power's currently effective market-based sales tariff and all parties
of record in Docket No. ER97-3561-000, and is otherwise posted as
