Docket No. 50-389A, Operating License No. NPF-16
Dear Mr. Gody:
This responds to a letter to you dated December 5, 1994, from Robert A. Jablon and Bonnie S. Blair, attorneys for the Florida Municipal Power Agency ("FMPA"). The letter states that your it staff was written in response to the request of a member of for an update on the status of certain proceedings involving Florida Power 8 Light Company ("FPL") before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the courts.
FMPA's letter encourages an inaccurate impression about the status of matters before the FERC. As described below, "network transmission service" is now indisputably available to FMPA under a rate schedule on file with the FERC. FMPA, however, has declined to commence service under that schedule, because disagrees with the rates ordered by the FERC. There is no good it reason for the Nuclear Regulatory, Commission to inject itself into a rate issue that 'is properly and fully before the FERC.
Accordingly, FMPA's gratuitous request for enforcement action should be denied.
I ll FMPA is unhappy about the rates and related terms and conditions of transmission service that have been determined by PDaR ADOCK

the FERC for its transmission service. FMPA was unhappy under the FERC's prior pricing policies. e Wiscon in Elec. Power Co., 46 FERC $ 61,019, reh'eni ~S d, 48 FERC $ 61,247 (l989).
And, it appears to be equally unhappy about the network transmission service pricing standard adopted by the FERC in a case initiated by FMPA itself against FPL in 1993 (FERC Docket No. TX93-4 and EL93-51). By any other name, a rate dispute is a rate dispute.
FMPA's letter misleads the NRC with its statement that FPL "is not selling network transmission service to FMPA." The service, with "network" pricing as determined by the FERC, is available under a rate schedule submitted by FPL in accordance with the FERC's order. Thus, it is more accurate to say that FMPA is not buying network transmission service. FMPA does not like the price and is awaiting the FERC's action on its request for rehearing. It is free to do so. It'is not at liberty to convert its reluctance to purchase into a refusal to sell. FMPA suggests that both it and FPL are equally dissatisfied with the FERC's orders. As anyone who follows the FERC's decisions knows, FPL's basic pricing methodology was approved by the FERC; FMPA's was soundly rejected (see both the FERC order in Docket No, TX93-4-000 at 67 FERC $ 61,167 (1994), and the attached news story on the FERC meeting where the order was voted upon).
The simple fact, as the FERC has recognized, is that FMPA wants a free ride. It first proposed to FPL and then to the FERC that it receive network transmission service for all of its loads and resources, but pay only about sixty percent of its allocable share of FPL's transmission costs. The FERC found this to be "flawed", holding, instead, that if "FMPA wants to be able to use the transmission system exactly as freely as does Florida Power, it must pay a rate that reflects that equality." 67 FERC at 61,482. Then, under the guise of protesting the compliance filing made by FPL at the FERC, FMPA suggested, based on a strained interpretation of a footnote in the FERC's order, that A United States, District Court in Florida had no difficulty determining, based largely on FMPA's own statements, that FMPA's complaint was with FPL's FERC-filed rates, and that rate issues were within the exclusive province of the FERC. That ruling, granting FPL's motion for summary judgment, as well as the question whether FMPA should be sanctioned for abusive discovery behavior, is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. FMPA now seeks proceedings in yet another forum to pursue the same fanciful argument.
The FERC has issued a final order granting FMPA the right to network transmission service on terms and conditions that FERC found to be just and reasonable. That should put to rest this whimsical request for enforcement of the St. Lucie Unit No. 2 license conditions. Assuming, without conceding, that the NRC license conditions contemplate that FPL provide "network"
'o transmission service to FMPA, this service is now available to FMPA any day that it chooses to start receiving it. There is no reason for this Commission to expend its resources second-guessing the FERC's rate determination, a subject which this Commission has repeatedly recognized to by within the exclusive jurisdiction and expertise of the FERC.
The incessant forum-shopping that has become FMPA's trademark imposes gratuitous, expensive and wasteful burdens on every agency within the sweep of FMPA's imagination. It should not be countenanced, let alone encouraged. FMPA's petition for enforcement should be rejected forthwith without the expenditure of any more of this Commission's or FPL's resources.
Sincerely
.A. Bouknight, Jr.

FORTNIGHTLY June 15, 1994 SECTION: Vol. 132 No. 12 ZNSIDE WASHINGTON; Pg. 16 LENGTH: 384 words HEADLINE: Florida Network Service Order Is Final BYLZNE: Inside Washington articles were written by Lori A. Burkhart, an associate legal editor of the FORTNIGHTLY.
BODY:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued its first final order requiring "network" transmission service under section 211 of the Federal Power Act. The order sets the price for transmission service provided by Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL) for Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA)
(Docket Nos. TX93-4-000, EL93-51-000), based on FMPA's share of FPL's peak transmission load.
The FERC had issued a proposed order last October 17. That order required FPL to provide network transmission service, but offered only general pricing guidance, leaving the parties to negotiate specific rates, terms, and conditions of service. The parties failed to agree. The final order, issued May 11, notes that the parties agree on the basic principle of equal access to FPL's transmission system, but disagree on how to share the costs.
FMPA said it needed only 240 MW of firm transmission service, and that the its costs should reflect peaking demand on own system. The municipal proposed a monthly rate per kilowatt of network service that would equal the average embedded annual costs of FPL's transmission system, divided by FMPA's annual peak load on the system.
FPL proposed pricing based on a "load-share" basis, which called for FMPA to pay a share of total transmission costs, proportionate to FMPA's customer load on the network. Specifically, FPL proposed recovering its fixed costs through a monthly charge that reflects the ratio of FMPA's peak network service load coincident with FPL's system peak load. The primary component of the monthly charge for network service would be a fixed investment charge equal to the costs of the FPL transmission system, multiplied by the ratio of FMPA's network load to FPL's total load.
m The FERC adopted FPL's proposal, with some modification, finding it logical for each to pay based on its contribution to the system loads to be served by the transmission network.
The FERC also ruled that if FMPA wants to export power to other utilities if from network resources located in FMPA's control area (where FPL were making the sale it would charge itself and credit the revenue back to its transmission LEXIS'NEXIS'====:==:=-" LEXIS'NEXIS'===::.:=-" LEXIS'NEXIS*=.=::==="
