asking that the Commission reassert its exclusive jurisdiction over the
terms and conditions of transmission service as they relate to the
transaction information requirements of the North American Electric
Reliability Council's (NERC) Policy 3, and order NERC, its regional
councils and member utilities to cease and desist from imposing those
requirements.
NERC Policy 3 establishes requirements for all parties involved in
energy interchange transactions and scheduling. As part of these
requirements, NERC has developed requirements for transmission
customers to file transaction information under an interim Transaction
Information System (tagging requirements).1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ NERC Operating Policy 3--Interchange, revised July 8, 1997.
NERC recently announced that it will release changes to Policy 3,
including making the identification of generator resources and loans
optional.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPT argues that NERC should file its tagging requirements with the
Commission for public review and comment. The Commission wants to
develop a better understanding of NERC's tagging procedure and its
commercial implications. We invite interested persons to submit written
comments addressing the issues raised in CAPT's filing. We also request
comments on the relationship between the tagging procedure and
electronic scheduling of transactions. Commenters are also requested to
advise the Commission concerning whether they believe NERC's tagging
requirements are inconsistent with the Order Nos. 888 and 888-A pro
forma tariff. Commenters should restrict their comments to these issues
only.
Interested persons should submit written comments (an original and
14 paper copies and one copy on a computer diskette in WordPerfect 6.1
format or in ASCII format) on or before October 10, 1997. Comments must
be filed with the Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426 and must
contain a caption that references Docket No. EL97-58-000. All written
comments will be placed in the Commission's public files and will be
available for public inspection or copying in the Commission's Public
Reference Room during normal business hours. All comments received on
diskette will be made available to the public on the Commission's
electronic bulletin board (EBB).
Copies of CAPT's filing, which include as an attachment a copy of
NERC's Policy 3, are on file with the Commission and are available for
public inspection or copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room
during normal business hours.
Standard Paragraph
E. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such
motions or protests should be filed on or before the comment date.
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 proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the
Commission and are available for public inspection.

Secretary.
