New England Power Pool; Notice of Filing

Take notice that on April 7, 2003, the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) Participants Committee (NPC) and ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE) jointly filed for acceptance revisions to a report of an audit previously filed Docket No. OA97-237-012 on April 24, 2002. NPC and ISO-NE state that the audit report is submitted in compliance with the requirement of a settlement agreement approved by the Commission by Order dated July 30, 1999, 88 FERC •161,140, that an audit of the charges for regional network service (RNS) under the formula rate provisions of the NEPOOL Tariff for charges in effect for the NEPOOL rate years June 1, 1997, through May 31, 2000, be performed by or under the direction of ISO-NE, and that the results of the audit be submitted to the Commission as an informational filing. NPC and ISO-NE indicate that the revised report reflects the outcome of efforts to resolve certain disputes regarding the initial audit report.

The NPC states that copies of these materials were sent to the New England state governors and regulatory commissions, the NEPOOL Participants, the parties to the settlement agreement and the intervenors as identified in this subdocket.
