contained in Southern Company Services, limiting pricing of non-power

Affiliates; and comport with the Commission's recent ruling in Southern 
Company Services, which permits EPI to file umbrella service

agreements, for short-term transactions of one year or less.

shown. EPI contends that the changes proposed to Schedule FP are 
intended to conform with current Commission policy regarding 
competitive bulk power transactions. EPI requests that amended Rate 
Schedule FP become effective as of the date of filing, in order to 
permit EPI and its customers to more fully employ open access tariffs 
to be available within 60 days after publication of Order 888.
