Enron Power Marketing, Inc. v. El Paso Electric Company; Notice
of Filing and Shortening Answer Period
September 16, 1996.
Take notice that on September 13, 1996, as corrected September 16,
1996, Enron Power Marketing, Inc (EPMI) filed a complaint and request
for emergency relief under 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) alleging
that El Paso Electric Company (EPE) denied EPMI's application for firm
point-to-point transmission service and that the denial was unjust,
unreasonable, unduly discriminatory, anticompetitive, and in violation
of EPE's open-access transmission tariff that is on file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. EPMI states that it requires the
requested transmission service in order to complete its response, due
October 14, 1996, to a request for proposals issued by the Commission
Federal de Electricidad. EPMI requests that the Commission order EPE to
enter into a firm point-to-point transmission service agreement with
EPMI pursuant to the rates, terms and conditions of EPE's currently
effective open-access transmission tariff no later than Friday, October
4, 1996.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such complaint 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
interventions and protests should be filed on or before September 23,
1996. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants
parties to
[[Page 49443]]
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.
Further take notice that the time for answering the complaint is
shortened. EPE, and any other entity wishing to respond to the
complaint, must file an answer on or before September 23, 1996.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
