2. Neptune Regional Transmission System, LLC

Take notice that on August 13, 2002, Neptune Regional Transmission System, LLC (Neptune), filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), a motion to modify certain provisions of the Commission's orders in the proceeding in Docket No. ER01-2099-000: Neptune Regional Transmission System, LLC, 96 FERC ¶ 61,147 (2001), order on reh'g, 96 FERC ¶ 61,326 (2001), order on clarification, 98 FERC ¶ 61,140 (2002).

Neptune requests that the Commission amend its prior orders to permit Neptune to negotiate to sell long-term Transmission Scheduling Rights (TSRs) outside of an open season process, that the Commission permit affiliate participation in the initial allocation or sale of TSRs as well as in the secondary market for TSRs, and that the Commission clarify that the deadline for recalling TSRs lost in the “use it or lose it” process can be identical to the deadline under the Standard Market Design tariff for changing transmission schedules.

Neptune claims that the open season process is impractical and unnecessary to achieving Commission goals, that there are no market power concerns present with respect to allowing affiliate participation in the initial allocation or sale of TSRs, that the open season requirement and affiliate restrictions are inconsistent with the Commission's Standard Market Design, and that TSR holders should be allowed to exercise their recall rights within the same time-frames as a market participant would be allowed to change their day-ahead schedules according to the Standard Market Design Tariff.
