Mississippi Power Company, Southern Company Services, Inc., 
Georgia Power Company, Alabama Power Company, Gulf Power Company, 
Southern Company Services, Inc.; Notice Specifying Time for Submission 
of State Commission Comments

February 1, 2002.
    Take notice that on January 30, 2002, the Commission issued an 
order in this proceeding that set these dockets for a trial-type, 
evidentiary hearing, but held the hearing in abeyance. Because the 
triennial review process of the underlying settlements did not 
explicitly invite state commission comments, the Commission explained 
in its January 30 order that it wished to solicit comments and views as 
to the reasonableness of the formula rates at issue in these dockets 
from the state commissions for the states where the retail customers of 
the entities which are purchasers under the rate schedules at issue in 
these dockets are located. Mississippi Power Co., et al., 98 FERC para. 
61,065 (2002).
    Accordingly, the Commission invites comments and views as to the 
reasonableness of the formula rates at issue in these dockets from the 
state commissions for the states where the retail customers of the 
entities which are purchasers under the rate schedules at issue in 
these dockets are located.
    Such comments and views shall be filed on or before February 28, 
2002, and should reference the above dockets.
    The Commission does not intend to permit answers to the state 
commissions' comments and views.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
