[Docket No. ER00-13-000]


Public Service Company of New Hampshire; Notice of Filing

October 6, 1999.
    Take notice that on October 1, 1999, Public Service Company of New 
Hampshire (PSNH), pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, 
tendered for filing proposed increased charges to be collected under 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Rate Schedules Nos. 132, 133 and 
142 from the Town of Ashland (New Hampshire), The Town of New Hampton 
Village Precinct (New Hampshire) and the New Hampshire Electric 
Cooperative, Inc. (collectively Wholesale Customers), to reflect 
increased charges for decommissioning Seabrook Station Unit 1 paid by 
PSNH to North Atlantic Energy Corporation (North Atlantic) under North 
Atlantic's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Rate Schedules Nos. 1 
and 3. These charges are recovered under a formula rate that is not 
changed by the filing. The proposed adjustment in charges is 
necessitated by a ruling of the New Hampshire Nuclear Decommissioning 
Financing Committee adjusting the funding requirements for 
decommissioning Seabrook Unit 1.
    PSNH has requested waiver of the notice and filing requirements to 
permit an effective date of December 1, 1999, including a provision for 
retroactive payments by the Wholesale Customers for decommissioning 
expenses incurred by North Atlantic from January 1, 1999 through 
November 30, 1999.
    Copies of this filing were served upon PSNH's jurisdictional 
customer and the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 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 October 21, 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://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-
2222 for assistance).

Acting Secretary.
