[Docket No. EL00-82-000]


Niagara Mohawk Energy Marketing, Inc., Complainant, v. New York 
Independent System Operator, Respondent; Notice of Filing

June 13, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 12, 2000, Niagara Mohawk Energy Marketing, 
Inc. (NMEM), tendered for filing a complaint pursuant to Section 205 of 
the Federal Power Act against the New York Independent System Operator 
(NYISO) alleging that the NYISO has unlawfully denied NMEM transmission 
service in connection with exports of power from the New York Control 
Area. NMEM alleges the denial of service was the result of a flaw in 
the NYISO's Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) scheduling 
system and that the NYISO's current plans for addressing flaws in its 
scheduling software do not address the SCUC problem that cause NMEM's 
export transactions to be rejected. NMEM alleges it has suffered 
monetary damages to date as a result of this problem and that NMEM and 
other transmission customers face the potential for very significant 
damages during the upcoming summer period. Accordingly, NMEM requests 
fast track processing of its complaint and the imposition of a stay 
pending final Commission action on NMEM's Complaint.
    Copies of the filing were upon the NYISO and other interested 
parties.
    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 June 19, 2000. 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). Answer to the complaint shall be due on or before 
June 19, 2000.
