Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. RM99-2-000]


Regional Transmission Organizations; Order Granting Extension of 
Time

Issued August 5, 1999.
Before Commissioners: James J. Hoecker, Chairman; Vicky A. Bailey, 
William L. Massey, Linda Breathitt, and Curt Hebert, Jr.

    On July 28, 1999, Cinergy Services, Inc. (Cinergy), on behalf of 
its operating companies, Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company and PSI 
Energy, Inc., filed a motion for an extension of time within which to 
submit initial comments in response to the Commission's Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking to facilitate the formation of Regional 
Transmission Organizations, issued May 13, 1999, in this proceeding. 
Cinergy requests a one-week extension, from August 16, 1999 to August 
23, 1999, to file initial comments in this proceeding in light of the 
unavailability of key management personnel due to recent severe heat 
throughout the Midwest and its effect on power supply and transmission 
system operations.
    Upon consideration, we are persuaded that Cinergy has provided 
sufficient justification to grant an extension from August 16, 1999 to 
August 23, 1999 for the filing of initial comments by Cinergy and other 
interested persons. While we grant the motion, we nevertheless 
encourage all interested persons to file their initial comments as 
early as possible.

    By the Commission.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
