DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. EG98–85–000, et al.]

InnCOGEN, Limited, et al. Electric Rate

and Corporate Regulation Filings

June 12, 1998.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. InnCOGEN, Limited

[Docket No. EG98–85–000]

Take notice that on June 5, 1998,

InnCOGEN, Limited, a limited liability

company under the laws of the Republic

of Trinidad and Tobago, filed with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

an application for determination of

exempt wholesale generator status.

InnCOGEN will be engaged directly and

exclusively in the business of owning

and operating a 215 MW generating

facility (the Project) on the Island of

Trinidad in the Republic of Trinidad

and Tobago which will be an eligible

facility. All of the electricity produced

by the Project will be sold at wholesale

to the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity

Commission pursuant to a long-term

contract or to retail customers outside

the United States.

Comment date: July 2, 1998, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph E

at the end of this notice. The

Commission will limit its consideration

of comments to those that concern the

adequacy or accuracy of the application.

2. North American Electric Reliability

Council

[Docket No. EL98–52–000]

Take notice that on June 5, 1998, the

North American Electric Reliability

Council (NERC) filed a petition for a

declaratory order asking the

Commission to address the

interrelationship between NERC’s

transmission loading relief (TLR)

procedure for public utilities within the

Eastern Interconnection and the

Commission’s pro forma open access

transmission tariff. NERC asks in its

petition that the Commission find that

the TLR procedures are consistent with

the pro forma tariff curtailment

provisions and can be implemented by

public utility transmission providers

without filings to incorporate them into

the public utilities’ transmission tariffs.

However, if the Commission determines

that NERC’s TLR procedures should be

incorporated as an amendment to the

transmission tariffs, NERC attaches to its

petition two alternative proposed

amendments to implement such

changes. NERC states that a copy of its

petition is available on NERC’s website

(www.nerc.com).

NERC states that it anticipates that the

TLR procedures will play a critically

important role in maintaining the

reliability of the transmission system

over this summer’s peak season. NERC

states that the TLR procedures are

currently in effect on an interim basis.

NERC requests that the Commission

give an abbreviated notice period and

act as expeditiously as reasonably

possible on its petition.

The NERC filing raises important

questions about subjects that have,

under the Commission’s ‘‘rule of

reason’’ approach, not traditionally been

considered in public utility tariffs.

Therefore, the Commission does not

believe it appropriate to abbreviate its

consideration of the matter. Rather,

because the summer season has already

begun and in order to avoid any

uncertainties that may jeopardize

system reliability, the Commission

hereby gives notice that it is acceptable

for public utilities within the Eastern

Interconnection to continue to utilize

the NERC TLR procedures without

amending their transmission tariffs

while the Commission considers the

merits of the petition filed by NERC.

Actions taken by the Commission on the

merits of the NERC petition shall be

given prospective effect from the date of

a Commission order.

Comment date: July 6, 1998, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph E

at the end of this notice.
