    Take notice that on July 16, 1998, Virginia Electric and Power 
Company (Virginia Power or the Company), tendered for filing a proposed 
amended and restated market-based sales tariff. The proposed tariff is 
intended to replace Virginia Power's currently effective market-based 
sales tariff with an early proposed effective date commensurate with 
the date of the filing.
    Virginia Power states that the purpose of the filing is to amend 
its authorization to make sales of capacity and/or energy at market-
based rates and to resell transmission service on a short-term or long-
term basis by more closely reflecting the terms and conditions of other 
such tariffs that have been recently approved by the Commission.

and that several customers have requested Virginia Power to make the 
filing in order to simplify the terms and conditions.
    Under the proposed tariff, Virginia Power will not make such 
market-based sales to any affiliate without first receiving 
authorization from the Commission under Section 205 of the Federal 
Power Act. Also, Virginia Power will not provide capacity and/or energy 
to loads located within its service territory consistent with the 
uncontested offer of settlement certified to the Commission in Docket 
No. ER97-3561-000.
    Moreover, the proposed tariff does not provide for transmission or 
ancillary services, which are provided for on an

[[Page 40524]]

unbundled basis under Virginia Power's Open Access Tariff. Finally, the 
tariff retains the commitment to file a study of market power in 
Virginia Power's generation market within the time frame ordered in 
connection with the Company's currently effective market-based sales 
tariff provided for in the September 11, 1997, Order issued in Docket 
No. ER97-3561-000.
    Virginia Power further states that a copy of this tariff filing has 
been served on all customers that are receiving service under Virginia 
Power's currently effective market-based sales tariff and all parties 
of record in Docket No. ER97-3561-000, and is otherwise posted as
