on the integrated system. Public Service requests that the TIE

Agreement be effective as of April 15, 1992, and requests waiver of the

Commission's notice requirements for good cause shown. Public Service

also requests that this proceeding be consolidated with another Public

Service filing, which proposes two amendments to the Power Supply

Agreement between Public Service and Holy Cross, on file as Public

Service Rate Schedule FERC No. 52. Public Service states that

consolidation is appropriate due to the relationship between the TIE

Agreement and one of the proposed amendments to Rate Schedule No. 52.
