[Docket No. SA99-16-000]


The Montana Power Company; Notice of Petition for Adjustment and 
Rate Ejection

April 1, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 19, 1999, The Montana Power Company (MPC) 
filed a petition for adjustment and notice of rate election pursuant to 
Section 284.123(b)(1)(ii) of the Commission's regulations. MPC requests 
waiver of the rate petition filing required by the Commission's 
November 3, 1997 order [81 FERC para. 61,156 (1997)], and permission to 
switch from its Commission-approved rate for Section 311 interruptible 
transportation (IT) service to its city-gate rate of $0.2480 per Dkt 
for comparable IT service.
    MPC is a Hinshaw pipeline organized under the laws of the State of 
Montana and subject to the jurisdiction of the Montana Public Service 
Commission. Montana states that is request to use a state-approved rate 
for interstate IT service is consistent with its current use of a city-
gate rate for Section 311 firm transportation and interruptible storage 
services.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedures. All such motions or protests must be filed 
with the Secretary of the Commission on or before April 15, 1999. 
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 proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this application are on file with 
the Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may 
be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
202-208-2222 for assistance).
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
