[Docket No. ER03-167-000]

Company (Empire) submitted a revised attachment C to its proposal to 
cancel parts of its Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) and to 
substitute an Ancillary Services Form of Agreement, which was filed on 
November 6, 2002. The revised attachment C contains a list of entities 
to be served with the proposal and should replace the version of 
attachment C that was initially filed on November 6, 2002. As Empire no 
longer provides transmission under its existing OATT, its proposed 
termination of the Empire OATT will not impact any customers. Empire
