The rate in Rate Schedule SLIP-F5 will be in effect pending the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of these or of
substitute rates on a final basis, ending November 3, 1999.

consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible
rates consistent with sound business principles. The Deputy Secretary
