[Docket No. ER02-851-000]

    Take notice that on January 25, 2002, Southern Company Services, 
Inc., acting on behalf of Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, 
Gulf Power Company, Mississippi Power Company, and Savannah Electric 
and Power Company (collectively referred to as Southern Companies), 
tendered for filing changes to Southern Companies' Open Access 
Transmission Tariff (FERC Electric Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 5) 
(Tariff). The proposed changes would increase the monthly charge for 
transmission service on Southern Companies' bulk transmission 
facilities (those operated above 44/46 kV) from $1.37/kW-month to 
$1.63/kW-month.
    This amendment to the Tariff is being made so that the Tariff will 
more accurately recover Southern Companies' actual revenue requirement. 
Southern Companies are revising the Tariff to adopt a formula rate to 
derive charges for transmission services on their bulk transmission 
facilities. In addition, the Tariff is being revised to adopt: a 
``stated rate'' approach ($/kW-month) in lieu of the load ratio share 
approach to derive bulk charges for network integration transmission 
service; on-peak and off-peak bulk charges for daily point-to-point 
transmission service (in addition to on-peak and off-peak charges for 
non-firm point-to-point transmission service); and a cost component to 
recover the Commission's annual charge. An effective date of April 1, 
2002 has been requested for this amendment.
    Copies of the filing were served upon Southern Companies' customers 
under the Tariff and upon the State Public Service Commissions having 
jurisdiction over Southern Companies.
    Comment Date: February 15, 2002.
