    Take notice that on May 29, 2001, the Market Interface Committee of 
the North American Electric Reliability Council (MIC) filed a request 
to modify the Commission's OASIS Business Practice Standards adopted in 
Order No. 638,\1\ to add a new business practice standard dealing with 
accepted firm daily point-to-point transmission service that has not 
been confirmed and a related footnote to Table 4-2 on Reservation 
Timing Limits. The MIC requests that the Commission implement this 
proposal on a mandatory, experimental basis for six months beginning no 
later than June 30, 2001. The MIC further states that, within four 
months of the effective date, it will provide the Commission with an 
assessment of the experiment and whether it should be revised, 
discontinued, or made permanent.
