Public Service Company of New Hampshire; Notice of Filing

October 6, 1999.

Take notice that on October 1, 1999, Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH), pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, tendered for filing proposed increased charges to be collected under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Rate Schedules Nos. 132, 133 and 142 from the Town of Ashland (New Hampshire), The Town of New Hampton Village Precinct (New Hampshire) and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, Inc. (collectively Wholesale Customers), to reflect increased charges for decommissioning Seabrook Station Unit 1 paid by PSNH to North Atlantic Energy Corporation (North Atlantic) under North Atlantic's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Rate Schedules Nos. 1 and 3. These charges are recovered under a formula rate that is not changed by the filing. The proposed adjustment in charges is necessitated by a ruling of the New Hampshire Nuclear Decommissioning Financing Committee adjusting the funding requirements for decommissioning Seabrook Unit 1.

PSNH has requested waiver of the notice and filing requirements to permit an effective date of December 1, 1999, including a provision for retroactive payments by the Wholesale Customers for decommissioning expenses incurred by North Atlantic from January 1, 1999 through November 30, 1999.

Copies of this filing were served upon PSNH's jurisdictional customer and the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.

Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such filing should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions and protests should be filedon or before October 21, 1999. Protests will be considered by the Commission to determine the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Internet at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208- 2222 for assistance). Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
