Enron Power Marketing, Inc. v. El Paso Electric Company; Notice 
of Filing and Shortening Answer Period

September 16, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 13, 1996, as corrected September 16, 
1996, Enron Power Marketing, Inc (EPMI) filed a complaint and request 
for emergency relief under 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) alleging 
that El Paso Electric Company (EPE) denied EPMI's application for firm 
point-to-point transmission service and that the denial was unjust, 
unreasonable, unduly discriminatory, anticompetitive, and in violation 
of EPE's open-access transmission tariff that is on file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. EPMI states that it requires the 
requested transmission service in order to complete its response, due 
October 14, 1996, to a request for proposals issued by the Commission 
Federal de Electricidad. EPMI requests that the Commission order EPE to 
enter into a firm point-to-point transmission service agreement with 
EPMI pursuant to the rates, terms and conditions of EPE's currently 
effective open-access transmission tariff no later than Friday, October 
4, 1996.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such 
interventions and protests should be filed on or before September 23, 
1996. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to

the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion 
to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection.
    Further take notice that the time for answering the complaint is 
shortened. EPE, and any other entity wishing to respond to the 
complaint, must file an answer on or before September 23, 1996.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
