	Regarding:  Model Short-form Utility Tariff

Dear Andy,

	Enclosed please find a model short-form utility tariff to be used by utilities in conjunction with the EEI wholesale standardized electric contract (“EEI contract”).  We developed this model tariff with a coalition of utilities that we represent regarding the EEI contract.  This model tariff was circulated to the EEI contract working group and reflects the comments of working group members.  While we call this a short-form utility tariff, we believe this model is widely applicable for all market participants.  Each market participant will select the tariff provisions that are appropriate for its circumstances.

	The model tariff includes provisions regarding sales of ancillary services at market-based rates, transmission reassignment, affiliate power sales and a code of conduct.  The Commission accepted the streamlined provision regarding sales of ancillary services into markets under the control of the New England Power Pool, PJM Interconnection, LLC, New York Independent System Operator, and California Independent System Operator (Option 2 in Section II.2) in PECO Energy Company, Docket No. ER00-1089-000 on February 17, 2000.  Utilities that file the model tariff should reference that order in their transmittal letters.

	Any person with questions regarding the model tariff should feel free to call us.

						Very truly yours,

						BRUDER, GENTILE & MARCOUX, LLP
