     the Real-Time Energy Market, the submission shall be deemed
     a request for Point-To-Point Transmission Service and the
     System Operator shall generate a reservation for the
     Transmission Service over the PTF equal to the transaction's
     schedule set at the beginning of the scheduling period.
     This reservation amount shall be the basis for the Reserved

     (3)(c); and (9) by inserting the sentence "Section 25 F
     shall apply for the purposes of scheduling and curtailment
     of Excepted Transactions that are also External
     Transactions" at the end of the Section.

                Part IVA - Congestion Management
                on the NEPOOL Transmission System

6.1  A new Part IVA is added to read as follows:

   IVA. CONGESTION MANAGEMENT ON THE NEPOOL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

     25A  Congestion Costs and Congestion Revenue

          When Congestion exists, the Congestion Costs shall be
          reflected in Locational Marginal Prices calculated in
          accordance with Market Rule 1.  Congestion Cost shall
          be recovered from Non-Participant Transmission
          Customers taking service under the Tariff and from
          Participants pursuant to Market Rule 1.  Transmission
          Congestion Revenue shall be collected and disbursed in
          accordance with Market Rule 1.

     25B  Financial Transmission Rights

          A system of Financial Transmission Rights shall be
          implemented pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 of Market Rule
          1.

     25C  Auction Revenue Rights and Qualified Upgrade Awards

          A system of Auction Revenue Rights and Qualified
          Upgrade Awards shall be implemented pursuant to
          Appendix C of Market Rule 1.

  25D  Scheduling and Curtailment Rules for External Transactions

          For purposes of scheduling and curtailment of External
          Transactions over interconnections between the
          NEPOOL Control Area and neighboring Control Areas, the
          following rules shall apply:

          (a)   External Transaction sales and purchases that
               (i) are supported by those service agreements
               referenced in Attachment G-3 of this Tariff, (ii)
               have not opted for Auction Revenue Rights
               consideration under applicable NEPOOL System
               Rules, and (iii) have been submitted into the Real-
               Time Energy Market prior to noon the day before
               the Operating Day as a Self-scheduled External
               Transaction ("real-time without price") at an
               External Node referenced in Attachment G-3 shall
               be assigned the highest transmission priority when
               compared to other External Transaction purchases
               or sales at that node having the same offer price
               or bid price.  In the event that the transfer
               limit for a given external interface does not
               allow all Excepted Transactions submitted over
               that interface to flow, they shall be scheduled or
               curtailed on a pro-rata basis.  For External
               Transactions referenced in Attachment G-3 that
               also require an advance physical reservation
               associated with a MTF or Non-PTF external
               interface, the MTF or Non-PTF transmission
               priority shall take precedence over the above
               language for the purposes of scheduling and
               curtailment under Sections 25F(c) and 25F(d),
               respectively;

          (b)  For external interfaces where advance
               physical reservations are not required (i.e.,
               external interfaces solely made up of PTF, such as
               the AC facilities that make up the New York/ New
               England interface), scheduling and curtailment of
               External Transactions shall be based on economic
               merit order in accordance with NEPOOL System
               Rules.  In the case of a tie within economic
               merit, transmission priority and then Real-Time
               Energy Market timestamp shall be used as
               tiebreakers.  With the exception of Section
               25F(a), all transactions crossing external
               interfaces not requiring advance physical
               reservations shall have equal transmission
               priority;

          (c)  For external interfaces where advance
               physical reservations are required (i.e., external
               interfaces made up of MTF or Non-PTF), scheduling
               of External Transactions which satisfy the
               reservation requirements for service shall be
               based on economic merit order in accordance with
               NEPOOL System Rules.  In the case of a tie within
               economic merit,  transmission priority shall be
               used as a tiebreaker.  Relative to a given
               interface, transmission priority is based on the
               priority rights of the associated MTF or Non-PTF
               transmission reservation.  In the case of a tie
               within a category of transmission service: (i)
               transactions within a given sub-category of non-
               firm transmission priority shall be scheduled on
               the basis of their Real-Time Energy Market
               timestamp order, and (ii) transactions with firm
               transmission priority shall be scheduled on a pro-
               rata basis;

          (d)  For external interfaces where advance
               physical reservations are required (i.e., external
               interfaces made up of MTF or Non-PTF),
               curtailments resulting from a reduction in total
               transfer capability shall be based on transmission
               priority of the associated MTF or Non-PTF
               transmission reservation to the extent possible.
               In the case of a tie within a category of
               transmission service, (a) transactions within a
               given sub-category of non-firm transmission
               service shall be curtailed on the basis of Real-
               Time Energy Market timestamp order, and (b)
               transactions with firm transmission service shall
               be curtailed on a pro-rata basis;

          (e)  In instances of an External Transaction
               scheduled against multiple reservations on a MTF
               or Non-PTF external interface, the lowest
               transmission priority of the associated
               reservations shall apply;

          (f)  The transmission priority for wheel-through
               transactions will be based on the transmission
               service utilized at the restricted external
               interface as indicated by the transmission
               reservation;

          (g)  Transmission Customers wishing to schedule
               External Transactions shall comply with applicable
               NEPOOL System Rules;

          (h)  Scheduling and curtailment of External
               Transactions shall be conducted in accordance with
               the specifications of the NEPOOL System Rules and
               all applicable tariffs;

          (i)  External Transactions scheduled in the Real-
               Time Energy Market shall continue to be
               implemented during periods of Congestion, except
               as may be necessary to respond to emergencies;

          (j)  The System Operator will redispatch all Resources
               subject to its control, pursuant to Market Rule 1,
               in order to meet load and to accommodate External
               Transactions.  Participants and Transmission
               Customers will be charged for the Congestion Cost
               and any other costs associated with such
               redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1.
               Pursuant to such redispatch, in the event the
               System Operator exercises its right to effect a
               Curtailment, in whole or part, of Through or Out
               Service or Internal Point-To-Point Transmission
               Service or MTF Service, no credit or other
               adjustment shall be provided as a result of the
               Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by
               the customer;

          (k)  The System Operator will furnish to the Delivering
               Party's system operator hour-to-hour schedules
               equal to those furnished by the Receiving Party
               (unless reduced for losses) and will deliver the
               capacity and energy provided by such schedules;

          (l)  Should the Transmission Customer, Delivering
               Party or Receiving Party revise or terminate any
               schedule, such party shall immediately notify the
               System Operator, and the System Operator will have
               the right to adjust accordingly the schedule for
               capacity and energy to be received and to be
               delivered;

          (m)  The System Operator shall apply the above-listed
               rules consistent with maintaining the reliability
               of the NEPOOL Transmission System; and

          (n)  The System Operator shall develop and post
               procedures on its Internet website reflecting the
               above-listed External Transaction rules.

          Part V - Point-To-Point Transmission Service

7.1  The preamble to Part V is amended to read as follows:

     Point-To-Point Transmission Service whether by Participants
     or Non-Participants, for all new transfers to be effected as
     Internal Point-To-Point Service, MTF Service or as Through
     or Out Service, shall be carried out pursuant to the
     applicable terms and conditions of Part III,  Part V and
     Schedule 18 of the Tariff.  Point-To-Point Transmission
     Service is the service required for the receipt of capacity
     and/or energy at designated Point(s) of Receipt and the
     transmission of such capacity and/or energy to designated
     Point(s) of Delivery.  MTF Service shall be reserved on the
     OASIS separately pursuant to Schedule 18.  Priority of MTF
     Service shall be in accordance with the provisions of
     Schedule 18 of the Tariff and as provided below.

7.2  Section 26 (Scope of Application of Part V) is amended by
     replacing the reference to Section "31.3" with a reference
     to Section "32.4", and by deleting the last sentence.

7.3  The following new Section 26A is added:

     26A  Nature of Through or Out Service

               Preamble:  Advance reservations will not be
               required for Through or Out Service under this
               Tariff.  However, other advance reservations are
               required for Internal Point-To-Point Service and
               MTF Service and may be required under other
               tariffs applicable to certain external interfaces
               within the NEPOOL Control Area.  When an External
               Transaction sale or Through Service transaction is
               submitted by the Transmission Customer and is
               scheduled in the Real-Time Energy Market, the
               submission shall be deemed a request for Through
               or Out Service and the System Operator shall
               generate a reservation for Through or Out Service
               equal to the transaction's schedule set at the
               beginning of the scheduling period; this
               reservation amount shall be the basis for the
               Reserved Capacity.  The Transmission Customer
               shall pay for its Reserved Capacity under the
               terms of Section 20.

          26A.1 Term:  The term of Through or Out Service
               shall be one hour increments in conjunction with
               External Transactions scheduled in the Real-Time
               Energy Market.

          26A.2  Transmission Priority:  All Through or Out
               Service offered under this Tariff will be deemed
               to have the same transmission priority.  Through
               or Out Service will have transmission priority
               equal to Long-Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point
               Service, Native Load Customers, Network Customers
               and customers for Excepted Transactions.  In the
               event the PTF and MTF are constrained,
               transmission priorities shall be established
               separately for the PTF and MTF, respectively.

          26A.3    Use of Through or Out Service by the
               Participants That Own PTF:  A Transmission
               Provider that owns PTF will be subject to the
               rates, terms and conditions of this Tariff when
               making Third-Party Sales to be transmitted as
               Through or Out Service under (i) agreements
               executed after November 1, 1996 or (ii) agreements
               executed on or before November 1, 1996 to the
               extent that the Commission requires them to be
               unbundled, by the date specified by the
               Commission.  A Transmission Provider that owns PTF
               will maintain separate accounting, pursuant to
               Section 8, for any use of Through or Out Service
               to make Third-Party Sales to the extent not paid
               for under this Tariff.

          26A.4     Service Agreements:  A standard form Point-To-
               Point Transmission Service Agreement (Attachment
               A) will be offered to an Eligible Customer when it
               submits a Completed Application for Point-To-Point
               Transmission Service to be transmitted pursuant to
               this Tariff.  Executed Service Agreements that
               contain the information required under this Tariff
               will be filed with the Commission in compliance
               with applicable Commission regulations.

          26A.5     Transmission Customer Obligations for
               Facility Additions or Redispatch Costs:  The
               System Operator will redispatch all Resources
               subject to its control, pursuant to Market Rule 1,
               in order to meet load and to accommodate External
               Transactions.  Participants and Transmission
               Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs
               and any other costs associated with such
               redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1.

          26A.6     Classification of Through or Out Service:
               Deliveries will be provided from the Point(s) of
               Receipt to the Point(s) of Delivery.  Each Point
               of Receipt at which transmission capacity is
               reserved for Through or Out Service by the
               Transmission Customer shall be set forth in the
               schedule submitted in accordance with Market Rule
               1 and NEPOOL System Rules.  When an External
               Transaction sale or a Through Service transaction
               is submitted by the Transmission Customer and is
               scheduled in the Real-Time Energy Market, the
               submission shall be considered deemed a request
               for Through or Out Service and the System Operator
               will generate a reservation for the Through or Out
               Service equal to the transaction's schedule set at
               the beginning of the scheduling period; this
               reservation amount shall be the basis for the
               Reserved Capacity.  The Transmission Customer will
               be billed and shall pay for its Reserved Capacity
               under the terms of Section 20.

7.4  The heading for Section 27 is amended to read as follows:

     Nature of Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and Firm MTF
     Service

7.5  Section 27.1 (Term) is amended by inserting the word
     "Internal" immediately before, and deleting the word
     "Transmission" and inserting the phrase "Service and Firm
     MTF" immediately after, the term "Point-To-Point".

7.6  Section 27.2 (Reservation Priority) is amended by inserting
     the word "transmission" immediately before the word
     "priority" at each occurrence in the heading and the
     section, by replacing the phrase "NEPOOL Transmission
     System" with the term "PTF", by replacing the phrase "Point-
     To-Point Transmission" with the phrase "Internal Point-To-
     Point" at each occurrence, and by deleting the ninth
     sentence in its entirety.

7.7  Section 27.3 (Use of Firm Point-To-Point Service by the
     Participants That Own PTF) is amended by inserting the word
     "Internal" before the phrase "Point-To-Point" in the heading
     and at each occurrence in the Section, and by deleting the
     word "Transmission" after the phrase "Point-To-Point" at
     each occurrence.

7.8  Section 27.4 (Service Agreements) is amended by inserting
     the word "Internal" before the phrase "Point-To-Point" at each
     occurrence, by replacing the word "Transmission"  with the phrase
     "Service Agreement of Firm MTF" after the first occurrence of the
     phrase "Point-To-Point", and by replacing the word
     "Transmission" with the phrase "Service or   Long-Term or Short-
     Term Firm MTF" after the second occurrence of the phrase "Point-
     to-Point".

7.9  Section 27.5 is amended to read as follows:

     Transmission Customer Obligations for Facility Additions or
     Redispatch Costs:  In cases where it is determined that the
     PTF is not capable of providing new Firm Internal Point-To-
     Point Service without (1) degrading or impairing the
     reliability of service to Native Load Customers, Network
     Customers, customers taking service for Excepted
     Transactions and other Transmission Customers taking Firm
     Internal Point-To-Point Service, or (2) interfering with a
     Participant's ability to meet prior firm contractual
     commitments to others, the Transmission Providers will be
     obligated to arrange to expand or upgrade PTF for Long-Term
     Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service pursuant to the terms
     of Section 33.  The Transmission Customer must agree to
     compensate the Transmission Providers or any other entity
     designated to effect construction through the System
     Operator for any necessary transmission facility additions
     or upgrades pursuant to the terms of Section 39.  The System
     Operator will redispatch all Resources subject to its
     control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to meet load
     and to accommodate External Transactions.  Participants and
     Transmission Customers will be charged for the Congestion
     Costs and any other costs associated with such redispatch in
     accordance with Market Rule 1.  Any addition or upgrade or
     Direct Assignment Facilities costs to be charged to the
     Transmission Customer on an incremental basis under this
     Tariff will be specified in the Service Agreement prior to
     initiating service.

7.10 Section 27.6 is amended to read as follows:

     Curtailment of Firm Transmission Service:  The System
     Operator will redispatch all Resources subject to its
     control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to meet load
     and to accommodate External Transactions.  Resources within
     the NEPOOL Control Area using Firm Internal Point-to- Point
     Service shall be curtailed based economic merit order in
     accordance with NEPOOL System Rules, and shall have no
     physical scheduling or dispatch rights.  External
     Transactions using Firm MTF Service shall be curtailed
     pursuant to Section 25F of this Tariff.  Participants and
     Transmission Customers will be charged for the Congestion
     Cost and any other costs associated with such redispatch in
     accordance with Market Rule 1.  Pursuant to such redispatch,
     in the event the System Operator exercises its right to
     effect a Curtailment, in whole or part, of Firm Internal
     Point-To-Point Transmission Service or Firm MTF Service, no
     credit or other adjustment shall be provided as a result of
     the Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by the
     Customer.

7.11 Section 27.7 is amended to read as follows:

     Classification of Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and
     Firm MTF Service:

          (a)  A Transmission Customer taking Firm Internal Point-
               To-Point Service may (1) change its Points of
               Receipt and Delivery to obtain service on a non-
               firm basis consistent with the terms of Section
               36.1 or (2) request a modification of the Points
               of Receipt or Delivery on a firm basis pursuant to
               the terms of Section 36.2; provided that if any
               Transmission Provider or its designee constructed
               new facilities or upgraded facilities to
               accommodate the original firm service, such
               Transmission Provider or its designee shall
               continue to be compensated for its facility costs
               by the Transmission Customer.

          (b)  [OMITTED]

          (c)  Parties requesting Firm Internal Point-To-Point
               Service and Firm MTF Service for the transmission
               of firm power do so with the full realization that
               such service is subject to Curtailment under the
               terms of this Tariff and that the System Operator
               will redispatch all Resources subject to its
               control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to
               meet load and to accommodate External
               Transactions. Participants and Transmission
               Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs
               and any other costs associated with such
               redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1.  Each
               Point of Receipt at which firm transmission
               capacity is reserved for Long-Term Firm Internal
               Point-To-Point Service or Long-Term Firm MTF
               Service by the Transmission Customer shall be set
               forth in the Service Agreement for such Service
               along with a corresponding capacity reservation
               associated with each Point of Receipt.  Points of
               Receipt and corresponding capacity reservations
               shall be as mutually agreed upon by the System
               Operator and the Transmission Customer for Short-
               Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service or Short-
               Term Firm MTF Service.  Each Point of Delivery at
               which firm transmission capacity is reserved for
               Long-Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service or
               Short-Term Firm MTF Service by the Transmission
               Customer shall be set forth in the Service
               Agreement for such Service along with a
               corresponding capacity reservation associated with
               each Point of Delivery.  Points of Delivery and
               corresponding capacity reservations shall be as
               mutually agreed upon by the System Operator and
               the Transmission Customer for Short-Term Firm
               Internal Point-To-Point Service or Short-Term Firm
               MTF Service.  The greater of either (1) the sum of
               the capacity reservations at the Point(s) of
               Receipt, or (2) the sum of the capacity
               reservations at the Point(s) of Delivery shall be
               the Transmission Customer's Reserved Capacity.
               The Transmission Customer will be billed for its
               Reserved Capacity under the terms of Section 21 or
               Section 22A, whichever is applicable.  The
               Customer's Use may not exceed its firm capacity
               reserved at each Point of Receipt and each Point
               of Delivery except as otherwise specified in
               Section 36.  In the event that the Use by a
               Transmission Customer (including Third-Party Sales
               by the Participants) exceeds that Transmission
               Customer's Reserved Capacity at any Point of
               Receipt or Point of Delivery in any hour, it shall
               pay 200% of the charge which is otherwise
               applicable for each Kilowatt of the excess.  In
               addition, the System Operator will record all
               instances in which a Transmission Customer's Use
               exceeds that Transmission Customer's firm Reserved
               Capacity, and if in any calendar year more than 10
               such instances occur with respect to any single
               Transmission Customer, then the System Operator
               may require such Transmission Customer to apply
               for additional Firm Internal Point-To-Point
               Service under the Tariff in an amount equal to the
               greatest amount of the excess of such Transmission
               Customer's Use over its firm Reserved Capacity for
               the remainder of that calendar year.  Charges for
               such additional Firm Internal Point-To-Point
               Service will relate back to the first day of the
               month following the month in which the System
               Operator notifies such Transmission Customer that
               it is subject to the provisions of this paragraph.

7.12 Section 27.8 is amended to read as follows:

     Scheduling of Firm Transmission Service:  The System
     Operator will dispatch all Resources subject to its control,
     pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to meet load and to
     accommodate External Transactions.  Resources within the
     NEPOOL Control Area using Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service shall be dispatched based on economic merit order in
     accordance with NEPOOL System Rules and shall have no
     physical scheduling or dispatch.  External Transactions
     using Firm MTF Service shall be dispatched pursuant to
     Section 25F of this Tariff.  Participants and Transmission
     Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs and any
     other costs associated with such dispatch in accordance with
     Market Rule 1.

7.13 The heading of Section 28 is amended to read as follows:

     Nature of Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and Non-
     Firm MTF Service

7.14 Section 28.2 "Reservation Priority" is amended to read as
     follows:

     Reservation and Transmission Priority:  Non-Firm Internal
     Point-To-Point Service and Non-Firm MTF Service shall be
     available from transmission capability in excess of that
     needed for reliable service to Native Load Customers,
     Network Customers, customers for Excepted Transactions and
     other Transmission Customers taking Through or Out Service,
     Long-Term and Short-Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service and Long-Term and Short-Term Firm MTF Service.  A
     higher reservation priority will be assigned to reservations
     with a longer duration of service.  In the event the PTF and
     MTF are constrained, reservation priorities shall be
     established separately for the PTF and MTF, respectively.
     Competing requests of equal duration over PTF will be
     prioritized based on the highest price offered by the
     Eligible Customer for the Transmission Service, or in the
     event the price for all Eligible Customers is the same, will
     be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis i.e., in
     the chronological sequence in which each Customer has
     reserved service.  Eligible Customers that have already
     reserved shorter term service over PTF have the right of
     first refusal to match any longer term reservation before
     being preempted.  A longer term competing request over PTF
     for Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service will be granted
     if the Eligible Customer with the right of first refusal
     does not agree to match the competing request: (a)
     immediately for hourly Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service after notification by the System Operator; and (b)
     within 24 hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the
     scheduling deadlines provided in Section 28.6) for Non-Firm
     Internal Point-To-Point Service other than hourly
     transactions using Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service
     after notification by the System Operator.

     Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service over PTF to
     secondary Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery will
     have the lowest transmission priority under this Tariff.  As
     between or among transactions that require the use of both
     the PTF and MTF, the transmission priority for such
     competing Internal Point-To-Point Service requests over the
     PTF shall be determined by the transmission priority held by
     the Transmission Customers over MTF.

7.15 Section 28.3 is amended by inserting the word "Internal"
     immediately after the phrase "Non-Firm".

7.16 Section 28.4 (Service Agreements) is amended by inserting
     the word "Internal" immediately before the phrase "Point-To-
     Point" and by deleting the word "Transmission" at each
     occurrence.

7.17 Section 28.5 is amended to read as follows:

     Classification of Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service
     and Non-Firm MTF Service:  Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service and Non-Firm MTF Service shall be offered under
     applicable terms and conditions contained in Part III of
     this Tariff.  The NEPOOL Participants undertake no
     obligation under this Tariff to plan the PTF in order to
     have sufficient capacity for Non-Firm Internal Point-To-
     Point Service.  Parties requesting Non-Firm Internal Point-
     To-Point Service and Non-Firm MTF Service for the
     transmission of firm power do so with the full realization
     that such service is subject to availability and to
     Curtailment under the terms of this Tariff and that the
     System Operator will redispatch all Resources subject to its
     control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to meet load
     and to accommodate External Transactions.  Participants and
     Transmission Customers will be charged for the Congestion
     Costs and any other costs associated with such redispatch in
     accordance with Market Rule 1.  In the event that the Use by
     a Transmission Customer (including Third-Party Sales by a
     Participant) exceeds that Transmission Customer's non-
     Reserved Capacity at any Point of Receipt or Point of
     Delivery, it shall pay 200% of the charge which is otherwise
     applicable for each Kilowatt of the excess.  In addition,
     the System Operator will record all instances in which a
     Transmission Customer's Use exceeds that Transmission
     Customer's non-firm Reserved Capacity, and if in any
     calendar year more than 10 such instances occur with respect
     to any single Transmission Customer, then the System
     Operator may require such Transmission Customer to apply for
     additional Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service under
     the Tariff in an amount equal to the greatest amount of the
     excess of such Transmission Customer's Use over its non-firm
     Reserved Capacity for the remainder of that calendar year.
     Charges for such additional Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service will relate back to the first day of the month
     following the month in which the System Operator notifies
     such Transmission Customer that it is subject to the
     provisions of this paragraph.

    (a)   Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and Non-Firm
          MTF Service shall include transmission of energy on an
          hourly basis and transmission of scheduled short-term
          capacity and energy on a daily, weekly or monthly
          basis, but not to exceed one month's reservation for
          any one Application.

    (b)   Each Point of Receipt at which non-firm transmission
          capacity is reserved by the Transmission Customer shall
          be set forth in the Application along with a
          corresponding capacity reservation associated with each
          Point of Receipt.

     using Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service shall be
     dispatched based on economic merit order in accordance with
     NEPOOL System Rules and shall have no physical scheduling or
     dispatch rights.  External Transactions using Non-Firm MTF
     Service shall be dispatched pursuant to Section 25F of this
     Tariff.  Participants and Transmission Customers will be
     charged for the Congestion Costs and any other costs
     associated with such dispatch in accordance with Market Rule
     1.

7.19 Section 28.7 is amended to read as follows:

     Curtailment of Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and
     Non-Firm MTF Service:  The System Operator will redispatch
     all Resources subject to its control, pursuant to Market
     Rule 1, in order to meet load and to accommodate External
     Transactions.  Resources within the NEPOOL Control Area
     using Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service shall be
     curtailed based on economic merit order in accordance with
     NEPOOL System Rules and shall have no physical scheduling or
     dispatch rights.   External Transactions using Non-Firm MTF
     Service shall be curtailed pursuant to Section 25F of this
     Tariff.  Participants and Transmission Customers will be
     charged for the Congestion Costs and any other costs
     associated with such redispatch in accordance with Market
     Rule 1.  Pursuant to such redispatch, in the event the
     System Operator exercises its right to effect a
     Curtailment, in whole or in part, of Non-Firm Internal Point-
     To-Point Transmission Service, or Non-Firm MTF Service, no
     credit or other adjustment  shall be provided as a result of
     the Curtailment with respect to the charge payable  by the
     Customer.

7.20 Section 29.1 is amended to read as follows:

     General Conditions:  Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service on
     the PTF is available to any Transmission Customer that has

     entities will be designated to use due diligence to expand
     or modify the PTF to increase transfer capability, provided
     that the Transmission Customer agrees to compensate the
     Transmission Providers or other entities that will be
     responsible for the construction of any new facilities or
     upgrades for the costs of such new facilities or upgrades
     pursuant to the terms of Section 39.  The System Operator
     and the designated Transmission Providers or other entities
     will conform to Good Utility Practice in determining the
     need for new transmission facilities or upgrades and in
     coordinating the design and construction of such facilities.

               Tariff, by regulatory or judicial order, or for
               reliability purposes pursuant to Good Utility
               Practice. The System Operator will treat this
               information consistent with the standards of

          with Interest less any reasonable administrative costs
          incurred by the System Operator or any affected
          Participants if the new facilities or upgrades needed
          to provide the service cannot be completed.  If an
          Application is withdrawn or the Eligible Customer
          decides not to enter into a Service Agreement for the
          Service, the deposit will be refunded in full, with
          Interest, less reasonable administrative costs incurred
          by the System Operator or any affected Participants to
          the extent such costs have not already been recovered
          from the Eligible Customer.  The System Operator will
          provide to the Eligible Customer a complete accounting
          of all costs deducted from the refunded deposit, which
          the Eligible Customer may contest if there is a dispute
          concerning the deducted costs.  Deposits associated
          with construction of new facilities or upgrades are
          subject to the provisions of Section 33.  If a Service
          Agreement for  Through or Out Service is executed, the
          deposit, with interest, will be returned to the
          Transmission Customer upon expiration or termination of
          the Service Agreement.  Applicable Interest will be
          calculated from the day the deposit is credited to the
          System Operator's account.

     32A.4     Notice of Deficient Application:  If an
          Application fails to meet the requirements of this
          Tariff, the System Operator will notify the entity
          requesting service within fifteen days of the System
          Operator's receipt of the Application of the reasons
          for such failure.  The System Operator will attempt to
          remedy minor deficiencies in the Application through
          informal communications with the Eligible Customer.  If
          such efforts are unsuccessful, the System Operator will
          return the Application, along with any deposit (less
          the reasonable administrative costs incurred by the
          System Operator or any affected Participants in
          connection with the Application), with Interest.  Upon
          receipt of a new or revised Application that fully
          complies with the requirements of this Tariff, the
          Eligible Customer will be assigned a new reservation
          priority based upon the date of receipt by the System
          Operator of the new or revised Application.

     32A.5     Execution of Service Agreement:  The System
          Operator will notify the Eligible Customer as soon as
          practicable but no later than thirty days after receipt
          of the Completed Application, and will tender a Service
          Agreement to the Eligible Customer.  The service
          agreement will allow the Eligible Non-Participant
          Customer to submit External Transactions in accordance
          with Market Rule 1 and the applicable NEPOOL System
          Rules.  Failure of an Eligible Customer to execute and
          return the Service Agreement or request the filing of
          an unexecuted Service Agreement pursuant to Section
          29.3, within fifteen days after it is tendered by the
          System Operator shall be deemed a withdrawal and
          termination of the Application and any deposit (less
          the reasonable administrative costs incurred by the
          System Operator and any affected Participants in
          connection with the Application) submitted will be
          refunded with Interest.  Nothing herein limits the
          right of an Eligible Customer to file another
          Application after such withdrawal and termination.

7.39 Section 33.1 is amended to read as follows:

     Notice of Need for System Impact Study:  A request for
     Through or Out Service will not normally require a System
     Impact Study.  A request for Firm Internal Point-To-Point
     Service may require a System Impact Study.  Also, an
     Eligible Customer may specifically request that the System
     Operator conduct a System Impact Study for an Elective
     Transmission Upgrade pursuant to Section 50.2 (a "Study
     Request").  After receiving a request for Firm Internal
     Point-To-Point Service or a request to study an Elective
     Transmission Upgrade, the System Operator will review the
     effect of the proposed service or upgrade on the reliability
     requirements of the PTF and the indirectly affected MTF
     facilities pursuant to meet existing and pending obligations
     of the Participants and Non-Participants, and the
     obligations of the particular Participants whose PTF or MTF
     facilities will be impacted by the proposed service and
     determine on a non-discriminatory basis whether a System
     Impact Study is needed.  If the System Operator determines
     that a System Impact Study is necessary to accommodate the
     requested Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service, the System
     Operator will treat the request for Firm Internal Point-To-
     Point Service as a "Study Request".  A description of the
     methodology for completing a System Impact Study is provided
     in Attachment D.  After receiving a Request, the System
     Operator will within thirty days of receipt of a Study
     Request, tender a System Impact Study agreement in the form
     of Exhibit I to this Tariff, or in any other form that is
     mutually agreed to, pursuant to which the Eligible Customer
     shall agree to reimburse the System Operator and any
     affected Participants for performing the required System
     Impact Study. Before a Study Request is evaluated, the
     Eligible Customer shall execute the System Impact Study
     agreement and return it to the System Operator within
     fifteen days.  If the Eligible Customer elects not to
     execute a System Impact Study agreement, its request shall
     be deemed withdrawn and its deposit (less the reasonable
     administrative costs incurred by the System Operator and any
     affected Participants in connection with the Application),
     will be returned with Interest.

7.40 Section 33.2 (System Impact Study Agreement and Cost
     Reimbursement) is amended by replacing the phrase "NEPOOL
     Transmission System and/or" with the phrase "PTF and
     indirectly affected", by inserting the phrase "of the
     customer request for Internal Point-To-Point Service or for
     an Elective Upgrade" after the term "MTF", by replacing the
     first occurrence of the word "service" with the phrase "a
     similar study" in subsection (ii), and by deleting the
     phrase "for service" immediately after the word "requests"
     in subsection (ii).

7.41 Section 33.3 is amended to read as follows:

     System Impact Study Procedures:  Upon receipt of an executed
     System Impact Study agreement, the System Operator and any
     affected Participants will use due diligence to complete the
     required System Impact Study within a sixty-day period.  The
     System Impact Study shall identify the need for additional
     Direct Assignment Facilities or facility additions or
     upgrades required to comply with the Eligible Customer's
     request.  In the event that the required System Impact Study
     cannot be completed within such time period, the System
     Operator will so notify the Eligible Customer and provide an
     estimated completion date along with an explanation of the
     reasons why additional time is required to complete the
     required study and an estimate of any increase in cost which
     will result from the delay.  A copy of the completed System
     Impact Study and related work papers shall be made available
     to the Eligible Customer.  The System Operator will use the
     same due diligence in completing the System Impact Study for
     an Eligible Customer that is a Non-Participant as it uses
     when completing studies for the Participants.  The System
     Operator will notify the Eligible Customer immediately upon
     completion of the System Impact Study.

7.42 Section 33.4 is amended to read as follows:

     Facilities Study Procedures:  After a System Impact Study
     indicates that additions or upgrades to the PTF or
     indirectly affected MTF are needed to accommodate the
     Eligible Customer's Study Request, the System Operator,
     within thirty days of the completion of the System Impact
     Study, will tender to the Eligible Customer a Facilities
     Study agreement in the form of Attachment J to this Tariff,
     or in any other form that is mutually agreed to, which is to
     be entered into by the Eligible Customer and the System
     Operator and, if deemed necessary by the System Operator, by
     one or more affected Transmission Provider(s) and pursuant
     to which the Eligible Customer shall agree to reimburse the
     System Operator and any affected Transmission Providers or
     other entity designated by the System Operator for
     performing any required Facilities Study. If the Eligible
     Customer wants the System Operator to undertake the
     Facilities Study, the Eligible Customer shall execute the
     Facilities Study agreement and return it to the System
     Operator within fifteen days.  If the Eligible Customer
     elects not to execute the Facilities Study agreement, its
     Study Request shall be deemed withdrawn and its deposit, if
     any (less the reasonable administrative costs incurred by
     the System Operator and any affected Participants in
     connection with the Application), will be returned with
     Interest.  Upon receipt of an executed Facilities Study
     agreement, the System Operator and any affected Transmission
     Provider(s) or other designated entity will use due
     diligence to cause the required Facilities Study to be
     completed within a sixty-day period.  If a Facilities Study
     cannot be completed in the allotted time period, the System
     Operator will notify the Eligible Customer and provide an
     estimate of the time needed to reach a final determination
     and any resulting increase in the cost, along with an
     explanation of the reasons that additional time is required
     to complete the study.  When completed, the Facilities Study
     shall include a good faith estimate of (i) the cost of
     Direct Assignment Facilities to be charged to the Eligible
     Customer, or (ii) the Eligible Customer's appropriate share
     of the cost of any required additions or upgrades, and (iii)
     the time required to complete such construction.  The
     Eligible Customer shall provide a letter of credit or other
     reasonable form of security acceptable to the Transmission
     Providers or  other entities that will be responsible for
     the construction of the new facilities or upgrades
     equivalent to the costs of the new facilities or upgrades
     and consistent with relevant commercial practices, as
     established by the Uniform Commercial Code.  In addition to
     the foregoing, each Facilities Study performed on or after
     the SMD Effective Date shall, if requested by the
     Transmission Customer, contain a non-binding estimate from
     the System Operator of the Qualified Upgrade Awards, if any,
     resulting from the construction of the new facilities.
     After completion of the transmission upgrade or expansion,
     the System Operator shall determine the Qualified Upgrade
     Awards, if any, resulting from the upgrade or expansion.
     The Transmission Customer shall be responsible for the cost
     of any study required to determine the Qualified Upgrade
     Awards.

7.43 Section 33.5 is amended by substituting the word Eligible in
     place of the second occurrence of the word "Transmission".

            Through or Out Service - The Pool PTF Rate

     (1)  A Transmission Customer shall pay to NEPOOL for Through
          or Out Service reserved for it in accordance with
          Section 18 of the Tariff the the Pool PTF Rate.  The
          Transmission Customer shall also be obligated to pay
          any applicable ancillary service charges and any
          charges required to be paid pursuant to Market Rule 1.

     (2)  The Pool PTF Rate in effect at any time shall be
          determined annually on the basis of the information for
          the most recent calendar year contained in Form 1
          filings (or similar information on the books of
          Transmission Providers that are not required to submit
          a Form 1 filing) and shall be changed annually
          effective as of June 1 in each year.  The Pool PTF rate
          shall be equal to (i) the sum for all  Participants of
          Annual Transmission Revenue Requirements determined in
          accordance with Attachment F divided by (ii) the sum of
          the coincident Monthly Peaks (as defined in Section
          46.1) of all Local Networks, excluding from the Monthly
          Peak for each Local Network as applicable the loads at
          each applicable  Point of Delivery of each Participant

          take Firm Internal  Point-To-Point Service in lieu of
          Regional Network Service at one or more Points  of
          Delivery plus any Long-Term Reserved Capacity amount
          reserved prior to the  SMD Effective Date for each
          Participant or Non-Participant for Firm Through or Out
          Service.  Revenues associated with Short-Term Point-To-
          Point reservations will be credited to the sum of all
          Participants' Annual Transmission Revenue Requirements
          referred to in (i) above.

     (3)  Discounts: Three principal requirements apply to
          discounts for Through or Out Service as follows (1) any
          offer of a discount made by the Participants must be
          announced to all Eligible Customers solely by posting
          on the OASIS, (2) any customer-initiated requests for
          discounts (including requests for use by one's
          wholesale merchant or an affiliate's use) must occur
          solely by posting on the OASIS, and (3) once a discount
          is negotiated, details must be immediately posted  on
          the OASIS.  For any discount agreed upon for service on
          a path, from Point(s)  of Receipt to Point(s) of
          Delivery, the Participants must offer the same
          discounted transmission service rate for the same time
          period to all Eligible Customers on all unconstrained
          transmission paths that go to the same Point(s) of
          Delivery on the PTF.

10.13  Schedule 9 is amended by replacing the phrase
       "applicable congestion or other uplift charge" with the word
       "charges" in subsection (1), by replacing the phrase
       "Sections 24, 25A and 25B of this Tariff" with the phrase
       "Market Rule 1" in subsection (1), by inserting the word
       "any" before the second occurrence of the phrase "Long-Term"
       in subsection (6) and by inserting the phrase "reserved
       prior to the SMD Effective Date" after the last occurrence
       of the phrase "Reserved Capacity amount" in subsection (8).

10.14   Schedule 10 is amended to read as follows:

                 Internal Point-To-Point Service

     (1)  A Transmission Customer shall pay to NEPOOL for firm or
          non-firm Internal Point-To-Point Service reserved for
          it in accordance with Section 19 of the Tariff a charge
          per Kilowatt, as determined for the period of the
          service in accordance with Section 21 of this Tariff,
          equal to the Internal Point-To-Point Service Rate;
          provided that if, a rate which is derived from the
          annual incremental cost not otherwise borne by the
          Transmission Customer or a Generator Owner, of any new
          facilities or upgrades that would not be required but
          for the need to provide the requested service is
          greater than the Pool PTF Rate, the charge shall be the
          higher of such amounts.. The Customer shall also be
          obligated to pay any ancillary service charges and any
          other charges required to be paid pursuant to Market
          Rule 1.

     (2)  Discounts:  Three principal requirements apply to
          discounts for Internal Point-To-Point Service as
          follows (1) any offer of a discount made by the
          Participants must be announced to all Eligible
          Customers solely by posting on the OASIS, (2) any
          customer-initiated requests for discounts (including
          requests for use by one's wholesale merchant or an
          affiliate's use) must occur solely by posting on the
          OASIS, and (3) once a discount is negotiated, details
          must be immediately posted on the OASIS.  For any
          discount agreed upon for service on a path, from
          Point(s) of Receipt to Point(s) of Delivery, the
          Participants must offer the same discounted
          transmission service rate for the same time period to
          all Eligible Customers on all unconstrained
          transmission paths that go to the same Point(s) of
          Delivery on the PTF.

10.15 Subsection (3) of Schedule 12 is amended by replacing
     the phrase "NEPOOL Transmission System" with the term "PTF".

10.16 Section 3.1 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as
     follows:

     Availability of MTF Service:  To the extent that
     transmission capability over MTF has not been fully
     allocated in accordance with Section 2 of this Schedule 18,
     a Participant or Non-Participant that is an Eligible
     Customer (except as provided below) may reserve Firm or Non-
     Firm MTF Service.   Such service shall be provided by the
     MTF Provider(s) and shall be reserved pursuant to the
     applicable terms and conditions of this Schedule 18.  MTF
     Service shall be reserved through the System Operator
     separately pursuant to Schedule 18.  Service on the MTF
     requires advance reservations. MTF Service is available to
     any Eligible Customer unless an MTF Provider has informed
     the System Operator that MTF Service shall not be made
     available to such Eligible Customer due to that Customer's
     failure to make necessary payments for previously assessed
     MTF  Service Charges or failure to meet the creditworthiness
     or operational requirements posted by the MTF Provider on
     the NEPOOL OASIS.

10.17 Section 3.3 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as
     follows:

     Use of MTF Service By a Transmission Customer:  If a
     Transmission Customer elects to take MTF Service it may
     reserve transmission capability for such service to cover
     both the delivery to it over the MTF of Energy and capacity
     (to the extent permitted under applicable Market Rules)
     covered by the Ownership Share designated by it in Completed
     Applications and the delivery to or from it over the MTF in
     Interchange Transactions of Energy and/or capacity (to the
     extent permitted under applicable Market Rules).  In order
     to fulfill its obligations to serve load or to consummate a
     transaction, a Transmission Customer which takes MTF Service
     must also take service under the Tariff for use of the PTF
     and under any applicable Local Network Service tariff for
     use of the Non-PTF.  Any load-serving entity may use MTF
     Service to effect sales in bilateral arrangements, whether
     or not it elects to take Internal Point-To-Point Service on
     the PTF to serve its load.

10.18 Section 5 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:

     MTF Service Reservation, interruption and Curtailment
     priorities:  The MTF Provider shall furnish to the System
     Operator for posting on NEPOOL OASIS,  and the System
     Operator shall post on the NEPOOL OASIS, rules setting
     reservation, interruption and Curtailment priorities for
     Firm and Non-Firm MTF Service.  Such rules shall be non-
     discriminatory and consistent with the Commission's approval
     of the rights to charge negotiated rates (i.e., rates
     established pursuant to market mechanisms as recognized for
     merchant transmission projects and not included in NEPOOL
     Tariff rates).  If an MTF Provider fails to furnish to the
     System Operator such rules, reservation, interruption and
     Curtailment priorities for Firm and Non-Firm MTF Service
     shall be the same as those established under the Tariff for
     Firm and Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Transmission
     Service over the PTF.  The reservation priority for Long-
     Term Firm Transmission Service and Short-Term Firm
     Transmission Service based upon an award of transmission
     capability of MTF pursuant to a Commission-approved rights
     allocation process shall be the date of the issuance of such
     award.

          When the System Operator determines that an electrical
     emergency exists on the NEPOOL Transmission System and
     implements emergency procedures to effect a Curtailment of
     MTF Service, the Transmission Customer shall make the
     required reductions upon the System Operator's request.  The
     System Operator reserves the right to effect a Curtailment,
     in whole or in part, of any MTF Service provided under this
     Tariff when, in the System Operator's sole discretion, an
     emergency or other unforeseen condition impairs or degrades
     the reliability of the NEPOOL Transmission System.  The
     System Operator will notify all affected Transmission
     Customers in a timely manner of any scheduled Curtailments.
     In the event the System Operator exercises its right to
     effect a Curtailment, in whole or part, of Firm MTF Service,
     no credit or other adjustment shall be provided as a result
     of the Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by the
     Customer, unless provided for by the MTF Provider under
     arrangements between the MTF Provider and the Transmission
     Customer.  To the extent not otherwise provided for in this
     Section 5, Curtailments Interruptions of MTF Service shall
     be in accordance with Sections 27.6 and 28.7of the Tariff.

10.19 Section 6 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:

     Real Power Losses:  Real power losses across MTF shall be
     allocated solely to Transmission Customers that use MTF.
     Such allocation for transactions across MTF shall be
     pursuant to Market Rule 1.

10.20  Section 8 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:

     No Effect on Rates; No Allocation of Revenues:  MTF and MTF
     Service shall not affect rates for service on the PTF under
     the Tariff and MTF Providers shall not be allocated any
     revenues collected under the Tariff for such service.

10.21  Section 9 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:

     Ancillary Services:  Congestion Costs and Ancillary Services
     costs associated with MTF Service Shall be assessed pursuant
     to Market Rule 1.

10.22 A new Schedule 19 is added to reads as follows:

               Special Constraint Resource Service

          In order to maintain area reliability, Transmission
     Owners or distribution companies may request the System
     Operator to change the commitment of a generating Resource
     or the incremental loading on a previously committed
     generating Resource to provide relief for constraints not
     reflected in the System Operator's systems for operating the
     NEPOOL Transmission System or the System Operator's
     operating procedures.  Requests will normally be made to the
     System Operator via the appropriate Satellite unless
     emergency conditions justify immediate communications with
     the Resources.

          Such out of merit operation of units for any
     reliability purposes to provide relief for constraints
     (thermal, voltage or stability) not reflected in the System
     Operator's systems or procedures will result in the
     Resource(s) being designated as a Special Constraint
     Resource and administered in accordance with the provisions
     of this Schedule.  However, in the event a SCR is requested
     on by a Participant and the System Operator also requires
     that unit to be on-line in accordance with the System
     Operator's systems and procedures, the System Operator will
     apply the appropriate flag to reflect the System Operator's
     need for the unit and will only flag the unit as SCR when
     the System Operator does not require the Resource (or when
     changed  dispatch of the unit is requested by the
     Participant).  When a unit would not be operating above its
     Economic Minimum Limit (as defined in Market Rule 1) but for
     the request of the Participant, it shall be flagged as SCR.
     In the event that the System Operator requires that a unit,
     previously designated and flagged as SCR, becomes a unit
     required by the System Operator to be on-line in accordance
     with the System Operator's systems and procedures (including
     economic dispatch or for purposes of RMR, first contingency
     or capacity), the SCR designation and flag will be removed.

     I.   DETERMINING THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID FOR SERVICE UNDER
          THIS SCHEDULE

          Service under this Schedule is to be provided through
     the System Operator.  The Transmission Owner or distribution
     company making a request or on whose behalf a Satellite
     makes a request to change the commitment of a generating
     Resource or the incremental loading on a previously
     committed generating Resource must purchase such service
     through the System Operator.  The Transmission Owner or
     distribution company shall be charged an amount equal to the
     Operating Reserve Credits as calculated pursuant to Market
     Rule 1 related to the Real-Time operation of the Special
     Constraint Resource.

     II.  DETERMINING A GENERATOR'S COMPENSATION FOR PROVIDING
          SERVICE UNDER THIS SCHEDULE

          The Special Constraint Resource is compensated pursuant
     to Market Rule 1 in the same manner as other generating
     Resources dispatched to provide relief for constraints
     reflected in the System Operator's systems for operating the
     NEPOOL Transmission System or the System Operator's
     operating procedures. Operating Reserve Credits (as defined
     in Market Rule 1) associated with the scheduling of Special
     Constraint Resources compensate these Resources for helping
     to maintain NEPOOL Control Area reliability requirements and
     are collected as stated in the NEPOOL Manual for Market Rule
     1 Accounting, M-28.

10.23     The reference in the last paragraph of Attachment F to
     "Regional Transmission Operations Committee" is amended to
     read "Participants Committee".

10.24     The introductory paragraphs to both Attachment G and
     Attachment G-1 are amended by replacing the phrase "Sections
     25, 25A and 25B" with the phrase "Section 25".

     Transaction (Transmission) Agreements over External Ties) is
     added to read as set forth in Exhibit 2.

10.27     The first paragraph in the Form of Facilities Study
     Agreement set forth in Attachment J is amended by replacing
     the phrase "NEPOOL Transmission System" with the term "PTF".

10.28     Section 8 in the Form of Facilities Study Agreement set
     forth in Attachment J is amended to read as follows:

     Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to give the
     Transmission Customer immediate rights to interconnect to or
     wheel over the Pool Transmission Facilities.  Such rights
     shall be provided for under separate agreement.

10.29     The fourth sentence of Section II.E of Atachment L
     (Financial Assurance Policy for NEPOOL Members) is amended
     to replace the term "Entitlements" with the term "Ownership
     Shares".

10.30     Section 2.3(f) of Attachment N (New England Power Pool
     Billing Policy) is amended so that it reads as follows:

     Sanctions Charges.  Any Charges assessed on the Participant
     pursuant to Appendix B of Market Rule 1.

10.31     The third sentence of the second paragraph of Section
     3.3(j) of Attachment N is amended to read as follows:

     If a suspended Participant has the obligation under
     applicable Market Rules to bid any of its Ownership Shares
     to provide Market Products under Market Rule 1, that
     obligation shall continue notwithstanding the Participant's
     suspension and any transfers of Market Products occurring
     under the Market Rule 1 as a result of any such bid shall be
     effective.

10.32     Attachment O (Financial Assurance Policy for Non-
     Participant FTR Customers) is amended by replacing the
     phrase "under the Tariff and the applicable Market Rules"
     with the phrase "pursuant to Market Rule 1".

 ATTACHMENT G-3: Complete list of Excepted Transaction (Transmission)
                    Agreements  over External Ties

Attachment G-3 is a comprehensive list of Excepted Transaction
Agreements that relate to the use of ties with neighboring Control
Areas ("External Ties").  The party responsible for paying the
Congestion Cost associated with energy purchased under the Excepted
Transactions listed in Attachment G-3 will retain their existing
contract rights for physical scheduling of a transaction at the
External Node associated with the Excepted Transaction until such
party elects to be allocated Auction Revenue Rights pursuant to Market
Rule 1.  Until the party responsible for paying the Congestion Cost
associated with energy purchased under an Excepted Transaction listed
in Attachment G-3 elects to be allocated Auction Revenue Rights, the
Excepted Transaction shall have physical scheduling and curtailment
rights in accordance with Section 25F(a) of this Tariff.  Once the
party responsible for paying the Congestion Cost associated
with energy purchased under the Excepted Transaction elects to be
allocated Auction Revenue Rights, the party will not be able to
revert back to using their contract rights for physical scheduling and
curtailment.

held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's
general creditors under federal and state law in the event of
Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.

     (e) Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or
from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other
property in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be
held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this
Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor any Plan participant or
beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional
deposits.

     SECTION 2.     Payments to Plan Participants and Their
                    Beneficiaries.

     (a) Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the
"Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect
of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries),
or that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to
Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which
such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the
Plan), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments
to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance
with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for
the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local
taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the
payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan and shall
pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or
determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid
by Company.

     (b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her
beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan shall be determined by
Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plan, and
any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed
under the procedures set out in the Plan.

     (c) Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the
terms of the Plan. Company shall notify Trustee of its decision
to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts
are payable to participants or their beneficiaries. In addition,
if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not
sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the
terms of the Plan, Company shall make the balance of each such
payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Company where
principal and earnings are not sufficient.

     SECTION 3.     Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to
                    Trust Beneficiary When Company Is Insolvent.

     (a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan
participants and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent.
Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this
Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they
become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding as
a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

     (b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as
provided in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the
Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of Company
under federal and state law as set forth below.

          (1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive
Officer of Company shall have the duty to inform Trustee in
writing of Company's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a
creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company
has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company is
Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall
discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants or their
beneficiaries.

          (2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's
Insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person
claiming to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent,
Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Company is
Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence
concerning Company's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and
that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a
determination concerning Company's solvency.

          (3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Company
is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of
the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors. Nothing
in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights, of
Plan participants and their beneficiaries to pursue their rights
as general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due
under the Plan or otherwise.

          (4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to
Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with
Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has
determined that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer
Insolvent).

     (c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to
Section 3(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the
first payment following such discontinuance shall include the
aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan participants or
their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of
such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments
made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in
lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such
period of discontinuance.

     SECTION 4. Payments to Company.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, Company shall
have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or
to direct to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of
benefits have been made to Plan participants and their
beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

     SECTION 5.     Investment Authority.

     (a) In no event may Trustee invest in securities (including
stock or rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by
Company, other than a de minimis amount held in common investment
vehicles in which Trustee invests. All rights associated with
assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person
designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or
rest with Plan participants.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 5(c) hereof, the Trustee
shall have the power of investing and reinvesting the Trust
assets and in its sole discretion:

          1)   To invest and reinvest in any personal property,
               wherever situated and whether or not productive of
               income or consisting of wasting assets, including
               without limitation, common and preferred stocks,
               bonds, notes, debentures (including convertible
               stocks and securities but not including any stock
               or security of the Trustee or any affiliate
               thereof), leaseholds, mortgages, certificates of
               deposit or demand or time deposits (including any
               such deposits with the Trustee or any of its
               affiliates), shares of investment companies and
               mutual funds, interests in partnerships and
               trusts, insurance policies and annuity contracts,
               without being limited to the classes of property
               in which trustees are authorized to invest by any
               law or any rule of court of any state and without
               regard to the proportion any such property may bear to
               the entire amount of the Trust; provided however, that
               the Trust shall be diversified so as to minimize
               the risk of large losses unless under the
               circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so,
               in the sole discretion of the Trustee;

          2)   As directed by the Treasurer of the Company, to
               invest and reinvest in insurance contracts or
               policies, and, if so directed by the Treasurer of
               the Company, to hold such contracts and policies
               in the name of the Trustee or otherwise, and to
               pay all premiums and other costs in connection
               therewith from the Trust;

          3)   To invest and reinvest all or any portion of the
               Trust assets collectively with funds of other
               trusts in units of or through the medium of any
               common, collective, or commingled trust fund or
               mutual fund that may be established and
               maintained by the Trustee or any of its
               affiliates, the instrument or instruments
               establishing such trust or funds, as amended,
               being made part of this Trust Agreement so long as
               any portion of the Trust shall be invested through
               the medium thereof;

          4)   To retain any property at any time received by the
               Trustee;

          5)   To sell or exchange any property held by it at
               public or private sale, for cash or on credit, to
               grant and exercise options for the purchase or
               exchange thereof, to exercise all conversion or
               subscription rights pertaining to any such
               property and to enter into any covenant or
               agreement to purchase any property in the future;

          6)   To participate in any plan of reorganization,
               consolidation, merger, combination, liquidation or
               other similar plan relating to property held by it
               and to consent to or oppose any such plan or any
               action thereunder or any contract, lease,
               mortgage, purchase, sale, or other action by any
               person;

          7)   To deposit any property held by it with any
               protective, reorganization, or similar committee,
               to delegate discretionary power thereto, and to
               pay part of the expenses and compensation thereof
               and any assessments levied with respect to any
               such property so deposited;

          8)   To extend the time of payment of any obligation
               held by it;

          9)   To hold uninvested any moneys received by it,
               without liability for interest thereon, until such
               moneys shall be invested, reinvested, or disbursed;

          10)  To exercise all voting or other rights with
               respect to any property held by it and to grant
               proxies, discretionary or otherwise;

          11)  To cause any property held by it to be registered
               and held in the name of one or more nominees, with
               or without the addition of words indicating that
               such securities are held in a fiduciary
               capacity, and to hold securities in bearer form;

          12)  To settle, compromise, or submit to arbitration
               any claims, debts, or damages due or owing to or
               from the Trust, respectively, to commence or
               defend suits or legal proceedings to protect any
               interest of the Trust, and to represent the Trust
               in all suits or legal proceedings in any court or
               before any other body or tribunal; provided,
               however, that the Trustee shall not be required to
               take any such action unless it shall have been
               indemnified by the Company to its reasonable
               satisfaction against liability or expenses it
               might incur therefrom; and

          13)  Generally, to do all acts, whether or not
               expressly authorized, that the Trustee may deem
               necessary or desirable for the protection of the
               Trust.

     c)   If (i) a registered investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (ii) a bank, as defined in that
Act, or (iii) an insurance company qualified to perform
investment management services under the laws of more than one
state is duly appointed an "Investment Manager" with respect to
the Plan, as that term is defined in Section 3 (38) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the "Act"), with
the power to direct the investment and reinvestment of all or
part of the Trust assets, the Investment Manager shall, unless
its appointment provides otherwise, have the power to direct the
Trustee in the exercise of the powers described in Paragraphs (1)
through (10) inclusive of Section 5(b) hereof with respect to all
or part of the Trust assets, as the case may be, and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of a copy of the Investment Manager's
appointment and written acknowledgment of such appointment,
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, exercise such powers as
directed in writing by the Investment Manager, unless it knows
that such direction is a breach of the Investment Manager's duty
to act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like
capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct
of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any diminution in the value of
the Trust as a result of following any such direction or as a
result of not exercising any such powers in the absence of any
such direction.

    If no such bank, insurance company, or registered investment
adviser has been so appointed, the Trustee shall have full
authority to invest and reinvest the Trust assets in accordance
with the terms of this Trust Agreement and any investment
guidelines promulgated by the Treasurer of the Company and the
Trustee shall not be liable for any diminution in the value of
the Trust as a result of the limitations of such guidelines.

     (d) No person dealing with the Trustee shall be under any
obligation to see to the proper application of any money paid or
property delivered to the Trustee or to inquire into the
Trustee's authority as to any transaction.

five (45) days following the close of each calendar year and
within thirty (30) days after the removal or resignation of
Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Company a written account of
its administration of the Trust during such year or during the
period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of
such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments,
receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it,
including a description of all securities and investments
purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such
purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being
shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other
property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the
date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.

     SECTION 8.     Responsibility of Trustee.

     (a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent
person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and
with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no
liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a
direction, request or approval given by company which is
contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or
this Trust and is given in writing by Company. In the event of a
dispute between Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court
of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.

     (b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising
in connection with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify
Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses)
relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.
If Company does not pay such costs, expenses and liabilities in a
reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the
Trust.

     (c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be
counsel for Company generally) with respect to any of its duties
or obligations hereunder.

     (d) Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries,
investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals
to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations
hereunder.

     (e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers
conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly
provided otherwise herein, provided, however, that if an
insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall
have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the
Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the
policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or
to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such
policy.

     (f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant
to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not
have any power that could give this Trust the objective of
carrying on a business and dividing the gains therefrom, within
the meaning of section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and
Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code.

     SECTION 9.     Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.

resignation, removal or transfer, unless Company extends the time
limit.

     (d) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be

successor or for instructions. All expenses of Trustee in connection
with the proceeding shall be allowed as administrative expenses of
the Trust.

     SECTION 11.    Appointment of Successor.

     (a) If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with
Section 10(a) or (b) hereof, Company may appoint any third party,
such as a bank trust department or other party that may be
granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as a successor
to replace Trustee upon resignation or removal. The appointment
shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Trustee,
who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former
Trustee, including ownership rights in the Trust assets. The
former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or
reasonably requested by Company or the successor Trustee to
evidence the transfer.

     SECTION 12.     Amendment or Termination.

     (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended by a written
instrument executed by Trustee and Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the
Plan or shall make the Trust revocable.

to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Upon termination
of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned

beneficiaries entitled to payment of benefits pursuant to the

     (a) Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law
shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition,
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy,
execution or other legal or equitable process.
