The rate in Rate Schedule SLIP-F5 will be in effect pending the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of these or of

substitute rates on a final basis, ending November 3, 1999.

will yield adequate revenue to satisfy these criteria.

consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible

rates consistent with sound business principles. The Deputy Secretary

of the Department of Energy states that the rate schedule is submitted

for confirmation and approval on a final basis for a 5-year period
