[Docket No. ER97-2524-000]


Houston Lighting & Power Company; Notice of Filing

April 29, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 11, 1997, Houston Lighting & Power 
Company (``HL&P'') tendered for filing a revised tariff to provide 
open-access transmission service to, from and over certain HVDC 
interconnections (``TFO Tariff'') to supersede HL&P's current FERC 
Electric Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1. HL&P states that the TFO 
Tariff has been revised to reflect changes to the pro forma tariff 
adopted in Order No. 888-A, and to incorporate new pricing provisions 
consistent with the new pricing regime now being implemented by the 
Public Utility Commission of Texas. HL&P states that it has eliminated 
provisions relating to the reservation of 15% of capacity in the East 
HVDC Tie for ``qualified utilities'' and the provision requiring a 
solicitation every three years to determine the interest of other 
utilities in a possible expansion of the HVDC Interconnections. The TFO 
Tariff continues to offer ancillary services consistent with the 
services offered by HL&P for transactions that occur wholly within the 
Electric Reliability Council of Texas. HL&P has requested a waiver to 
permit the revised TFO Tariff to become effective as of April 14, 1997.
    HL&P states that the tariff has been served on the parties to 
Docket Nos. EL79-8 and ER96-2960 and on the Public Utility Commission 
of Texas.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing 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 
motions or protests should be filed on or before May 9, 1997. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
