Service filing, which proposes two amendments to the Power Supply 
Agreement between Public Service and Holy Cross, on file as Public 
Service Rate Schedule FERC No. 52. Public Service states that 
consolidation is appropriate due to the relationship between the TIE 
Agreement and one of the proposed amendments to Rate Schedule No. 52.
