New York Power Pool; Notice of Filing of Petition for Waiver

March 5, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 26, 1999, the Member Systems of the 
New York Power Pool (NYPP) filed a petition for a waiver of compliance 
with Version 1.3 of the OASIS Standards and Communications Protocols 
(S&CP Document), due to be implemented by March 1, 1999.\1\

Conduct, 84 FERC para.61,329 at 62,474 (1998).

    NYPP argues that it is engaged in efforts to: (1) Convert its 
entire computer based system (including OASIS) to the requirements for 
a New York Independent System Operator (NY ISO); (2) implement its 
locational based marginal pricing proposals; and (3) prepare for Y2K 
problems. NYPP argues that it should be given a waiver from the 
requirement to comply with Version 1.3 of the OASIS S&CP Document until 
the NY ISO becomes operational and an OASIS specific to its 
restructuring process can be brought on line.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such 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 
and protests should be filed on or before March 22, 1999. Protests will 
be considered by the Commission to determine the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceedings. 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. This filing may also be viewed on 
the Internet at http://
