Re: FERC Filings in Connection with PSCo Project

Usually, ENA legal hires outside counsel, but I'd be happy to assist you and
outside counsel on it. I don't know who legal typically uses although I'm
pretty sure Dale used Dan Watkiss of Bracewell and Patterson for one
project. Power marketers proposals are tariff filings for market-based rates
under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act. The Commission has 60 days to
accept them from the date FERC notices the filing in the Federal Register or
the filing is deemed accepted. EWG applications are made under Section 32 of
the Public Utiluty Holding Company Act. Thereunder, the Commission must make
an EWG determination within 60 days of its receipt of an EWG application.

Subject: FERC Filings in Connection with PSCo Project

Mary-- I have several "new guy" questions for you. How do we prefer to take
care of the required FERC filings for Market Based Rate Authorization and for
EWG status in connection with power plant developments? I ask this in the
context of the PSCo project, where we have a project LLC as the development
vehicle, and we anticipate selling the LLC before commercial operation.
Specifically, do we do this in-house with govt. affairs people, through Enron
DC office people, through outsside counsel for the project, through outside
counsel not otherwise affiliated with the project, or otherwise? And, when do
we usually do the filings? Thanks.
