[Docket No. EL18-43-000]


Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order; Alabama Power Company, 
Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company, Mississippi Power Company

    Take notice that on November 28, 2017, pursuant to Rule 207 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207, Southern Company Services, Inc., acting 
as agent for Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power 
Company, and Mississippi Power Company (collectively, Southern 
Companies), filed a petition for declaratory order and request to hold 
proceedings in abeyance. The filing seeks clarification regarding 
whether Southern Companies' Open Access Transmission Tariff provides 
the flexibility to allow for a ratemaking adjustment so as to avoid a 
potential violation of normalization requirements, and the filing is 
made contingent upon, and requests that this proceeding be held in 
abeyance pending the receipt of, a Private Letter Ruling being sought 
from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the potential normalization 
violation.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in this proceeding 
must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) on or 
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment date. Protests 
will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to 
the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice 
of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Petitioners.
