Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., Complainant, v. New York 
Independent System Operator, Respondent; Notice of Filing

August 24, 2000.

    Take notice that on August 23, 2000, Morgan Stanley Capital Group 
Inc. (MSCG), tendered for filing a complaint pursuant to section 206 of 
the Federal Power Act against the New York Independent System Operator 
(NYISO) requesting that the Commission order NYISO immediately to limit 
the two- and five-year Transmission Congestion Contracts (TCC) products 
it intended to offer in its Autumn TCC Auction, beginning September 1, 
2000, to no more than six-month terms until market flaws and the 
transitional, uncertain and unstable nature of the NYISO market have 
been addressed. MSCG alleges such long-term TCC products offered at 
this time will serve only to exacerbate

problems caused by the existing software and market flaws. Accordingly, 
MSCG requests fast track processing of its complaint by the Commission.
    Copies of the filing were served 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, 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 September 5, 2000. Protests will 
be considered by the Commission to determine the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties of 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). Answers to the complaint shall also be due on or 
before September 5, 2000.
