[Docket No. ER98-1090-000]


New England Power Pool; Notice of Filing

December 31, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 11, 1997, the New England Power Pool 
(NEPOOL or POOL), Executive Committee filed a request for termination 
of membership in NEPOOL, with a retroactive date of December 1, 1997, 
of Houlton Water Company and Madison Electric Works (collectively, the 
Terminating Participants). Such termination is pursuant to the terms of 
the NEPOOL Agreement dated September 1, 1971, as amended, and 
previously signed by each of the Terminating Participants. The New 
England Power Pool Agreement, as amended (the NEPOOL Agreement), has 
been designated NEPOOL FPC No. 2.
    The Executive Committee states that termination of the Terminating 
Participants with a retroactive date of December 1, 1997, would relieve 
those entities, at their joint request, of the obligations and 
responsibilities of Pool membership and would not change the NEPOOL 
Agreement in any manner, other than to remove the Terminating 
Participants from membership in the Pool. The Terminating Participants 
own no generation or transmission facilities in the New England Control 
Area and have received no energy related services from NEPOOL in 
December, 1997.
    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 385.214). All such motions 
or protests should be filed on or before January 13, 1998. 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
