[Project No. 2651]

Indiana Michigan Power Company;

Notice of Authorization for Continued

Project Operation

June 13, 2000.

On May 19, 1998, Indiana Michigan

Power Company, licensee for the

Elkhart Project No. 2651, filed an

application for a new or subsequent

license pursuant to the Federal Power

Act (FPA) and the Commission’s

regulations thereunder. Project No. 2651

is located on the St. Joseph River in

Elkhart County, Indiana.

The license for Project No. 2651 was

issued for a period ending May 31,

2000. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16

U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the

Commission, at the expiration of a

license term, to issue from year to year

an annual license to the then licensee

under the terms and conditions of the

prior license until a new license is

issued, or the project is otherwise

disposed of as provided in Section 15 or

any other applicable section of the FPA.

If the project’s prior license waived the

applicability of Section 15 of the FPA,

then, based on Section 9(b) of the

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.

558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR

16.21(a)(2000), if the licensee of such

project has filed an application for a

subsequent license, the licensee may

continue to operate the project in

accordance with the terms and

conditions of the license after the minor

or minor part license expires, until the

Commission acts on its application. If

the licensee of such a project has not

filed an application for a subsequent

license, then it may be required,

pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b)(2000), to

continue project operations until the

Commission issues someone else a

license for the project or otherwise

orders disposition of the project.

If the project is subject to Section 15

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that

an annual license for Project No. 2651

is issued to Indiana Michigan Power

Company for a period effective June 1,

2000, through May 31, 2000, or until the

issuance of a new license for the project

or other disposition under the FPA,

whichever comes first. If issuance of a

new license (or other disposition) does

not take place on or before May 31,

2001, notice is hereby given that,

pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c)(2000), an

annual license under Section 15(a)(1) of

the FPA is renewed automatically

without further order or notice by the

Commission, unless the Commission

orders otherwise.

If the project is not subject to Section

15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given

that Indiana Michigan Power Company

is authorized to continue operation of

the Elkhart Project No. 2651 until such

time as the Commission acts on its

application for subsequent license.

Niagara Mohawk Energy Marketing,

Inc., Complainant, v. New York

Independent System Operator,

Respondent; Notice of Filing

June 13, 2000.

Take notice that on June 12, 2000,

Niagara Mohawk Energy Marketing, Inc.

(NMEM), tendered for filing a complaint

pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal

Power Act against the New York

Independent System Operator (NYISO)

alleging that the NYISO has unlawfully

denied NMEM transmission service in

connection with exports of power from

the New York Control Area. NMEM

alleges the denial of service was the

result of a flaw in the NYISO’s Security

Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC)

scheduling system and that the NYISO’s

current plans for addressing flaws in its

scheduling software do not address the

SCUC problem that cause NMEM’s

export transactions to be rejected.

NMEM alleges it has suffered monetary

damages to date as a result of this

problem and that NMEM and other

transmission customers face the

potential for very significant damages

during the upcoming summer period.

Accordingly, NMEM requests fast track

processing of its complaint and the

imposition of a stay pending final

Commission action on NMEM’s

Complaint.

Copies of the filing were upon the

NYISO and other interested parties.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest such filing 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 385.214). All such motions and

protests should be filed on or before

June 19, 2000. Protests will be

considered by the Commission to

determine the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the
