40. Suffolk County Electrical Agency

[Docket No. TX96-4-000]

    Take notice that on January 17, 1996, the Suffolk Electrical Agency 
(SCEA) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an 
application requesting that the Commission order the Long Island 
Lighting Company (LILCo) to provide transmission services pursuant to 
section 211 of the Federal Power Act, as amended by the Energy Policy 
Act of 1992 (16 U.S.C. 824j).
    SCEA is a municipal power agency created by Suffolk County, New 
York, and authorized to provide electric service to inhabitants of the 
County. The applicant alleges that LILCo has refused to provide the 
firm network transmission service requested by the SCEA, thereby 
utilizing its transmission dominance to foreclose competition in bulk 
power markets.
    The Applicant is requesting that LILCo provide 30 MW of firm 
network transmission service (200 MW to effectuate SCEA's provision of 
Residential Service and 100 MW to effectuate SCEA's provision of 
Economic Incentive Service), that LILCo make available all necessary 
ancillary services, and that LILCo make the service available 
commencing on June 1, 1996, or the earliest possible date thereafter, 
for a duration of at least ten years.
    A copy of the filing was served on LILCo.
    Comment date: February 21, 1996, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
