a request for temporary waiver of the Commission's operating and
efficiency standards for the years 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994.
Megan-Racine's request for waiver was included in its filing of an
answer to the April 21, 1995 petition for a declaratory order revoking
the qualifying status of a topping-cycle cogeneration facility filed by
Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (Niagara Mohawk) in Docket No. EL95-
40-000. The facility, owned by Megan-Racine Associates, Inc. in Canton,
New York, was granted certification as a qualifying cogeneration
facility in an order dated January 27, 1989. Megan-Racine Associates,
Inc., 46 FERC para. 62,074 (1989). Niagara Mohawk claimed in its
petition that for the years 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 the facility did
not meet the applicable operating and efficiency standards applicable
to natural gas-fired, topping-cycle qualifying cogeneration facilities
under section 292.205 of the Commission's regulations. 18 CFR 292.205.
Niagara Mohawk asked the Commission to declare that the facility was
not a qualifying facility for the years 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 and
asks the Commission to revoke certification for the years 1991, 1992,
1993 and 1994. In its answer to Niagara Mohawk's petition, Megan-Racine
asserts that at all times its facility operated in compliance with the
Commission's technical requirements. In the alternative, Megan-Racine
asks that the Commission, if it finds that the facility did not operate
in compliance with the operating and efficiency standards, grant waiver
for the years that non-compliance is found.
