to $0.13/kW-month;
(5) Spinning Reserve Service: decrease from $0.33 to $0.30/kW-month;
(6) Supplemental Reserve Service: decrease from $0.21 to $0.19/kW-
month.

    Since there are no current applications for firm transmission 
service under the Open Access Transmission Tariff (Tariff), no 
estimated changes in revenue from the Tariff can be provided. The 
foregoing

rate changes are a function of changes in the level of service upon 
which the rates are calculated and certain other changes in cost 
levels.
    NYSEG has also proposed changes to the non-rate terms and 
conditions of the Tariff. The Tariff sections containing amended terms 
and conditions are as follows: Section 1 (definition of New York Power 
Pool); Section 10 (adds tariff features relating to NYSEG's liability 
for service under the Tariff); Sections 17.2 and 18.2 (specifies two 
additional requirements for the submission of a completed application 
for point-to-point service and provides for a confidentiality 
agreement); Section 29.1 (makes creditworthiness standards which are 
required to be met by point-to-point customers also required of network 
customers); Sections 36.1 through 36.2 (makes the installation of 
metering equipment mandatory for network transmission service and adds 
the requirement that metering data be made available to NYSEG); Section 
36.3 (requires customers to maintain a power factor within the same 
range as NYSEG); Service Agreements for both point-to-point and network 
service are amended (adding provisions related to ancillary services, 
penalties and a clarification providing that the Tariff is incorporated 
in the service agreements as it is amended from time-to-time). Finally, 
Attachment J, Methodology for the Calculation of Redispatch Costs was 
added.

Additional Rate Schedule Changes

    The Filing also contains a request for rate changes to FERC Rate 
Schedules 36, 67, 70, 80 and 84 under which the Company supplies firm 
electric transmission service to the New York Power Authority (NYPA) 
for the benefit of a group of municipalities and rural electric 
cooperatives within and outside New York State, including Allegheny 
Electric Cooperative Inc. and American Municipal Power--Ohio.
    The transmission rate for in-state municipals under Rate Schedules 
67, 70, and 80, would increase from $3.12/kW-month to $4.74 /kW-month 
of contract demand. The rate for out-of-state municipals under Rate 
Schedules 36 and 84 would increase from $3.05/kW-month to $4.12/kW-
month of contract demand. The total estimated annual revenue increase 
under the revised transmission rates for Rate Schedules 67, 70, and 80 
is $2,309,120, and for Rate Schedules 36 and 84 is $825,522, based upon 
historical use for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 1996 and 
for the 1997 forecasted load.
    The subject filing also addresses an amendment of FERC Rate 
Schedule 110 under which NYSEG supplies transmission service to NYPA on 
behalf of expansion power customers. The transmission rate under Rate 
Schedule 110 would increase from $3.12/kW-month to $4.74/kW-month of 
contract demand. The total estimated annual revenue increase under the 
revised Rate Schedule 110 is $657,720, based upon historical use for 
the twelve-month period ending December 31, 1996 and for the 1997 
forecasted load. The requested increased rates are necessary to cover 
all expenses associated with such firm transmission service and to 
provide NYSEG with an adequate rate of return.
    Copies of the filing were served upon the persons listed on a 
service list submitted with its filing, including each of its existing 
wholesale customers and the New York State Public Service Commission.
