Ratemaking Treatment of Emission Allowances; Notice of Filing

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Docket No. PL95-1-000]

Ratemaking Treatment of Emission Allowances; Notice of Filing

October 14, 1994.

Take notice that on October 14, 1994, Edison Electric Institute

(``EEI''), on behalf of its member electric utilities and pursuant to

Section 207 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,

petitioned the Commission to issue a Statement of Policy on the

ratemaking treatment of the costs associated with sulfur dioxide

(SO2) emission allowances required by the Clean Air Act Amendments

of 1990. EEI's request is limited to coordination transactions. EEI

also requests, among other things, that the Commission find that

neither the sale nor purchase of emission allowances require

authorization under section 203 of the Federal Power Act, and find that

the sale of emission allowances does not constitute a wholesale power

sale and therefore is not jurisdictional under section 205 of the

Federal Power Act.

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, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, DC

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 November 14, 1994.

Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make the

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.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
