[Docket No. ER98-4635-000]

Services Tariff. The proposed Tariff would establish a system of 
economic incentives designed to induce users of Niagara Mohawk's

kind of scheduling and balancing incentives provided by the Tariff, it

mechanism of the transmission providers' OATT tariffs. Consequently, 
Niagara Mohawk submits the current Tariff, which operates separately 
from the OATT to effect the required coordination on a uniform and 
nondiscriminatory basis in a free-market context.

customers, all generators in Niagara Mohawk's control area, and the New 
York Public Service Commission.
