GPRO GJLF NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT IDS.1 AND 2 - ANTITRUST INFOPOGTION We note that your application for Operating Licenses for the captioned nuclear plant was docketed in June 1978 and is ncw under revim with respect to environmental, health and safety asp cts. Mr. Connor's letter of June 1,1978 to Mr. Saltzran indicated that antitrust information in response to Pegulatory Guide 9.3 would be forthecming shortly. Our records do nct indicate receipt as yet of this information.
In the meantime we have ccme across various docuaents pertaining to MP&L's arrangenents and correspondence with the City of Clarksdale. Ac-cordingly, we muld appreciate it if pu could furnish arsaers to the following specific questions in addition to those of Regulatory Guide 9.3.
1.
that is the status of transmission Service Schedule E of Rate Schedule FERC No. 243? Has the transmission schedule been made effective?
If not, why not? If so, has Clarksdale used the transatission schedule?
If not, has this been because Clarksdale did not choose to use the service or because it was prevented frcm using the service due to some requirement? If the latter, please explain.
2.
Does MP&L plan to enter into an interconnection agreerent with Gulf States Utilities (GSU)? If so, what is the anticipated schedule for the filing of such an agreement? Please furnish us with a draft or final agreement if available. Hcw are interchanges between MP&L and GSU arranged and accounted for in the absence of an interconnection agreement?
Hcw is 'IVA diversity interchange to and frca GSU scheduled and accounted for? How is MP&L ccnpensated for 'IVA diversit'f interchange to and frca
~No%o3t(
. (a) CSU and (b) Icuisiana Po.;er and Light (LP&L).
Is TVA diversity interchange scheduled between GSU and ST&L? If so, what schedulinc, change is recurred when the 500 Kv interconnection between ST&L NO GSU is out of service? Are interchanges scheduled hourly betacen each of the Middle South Utilities or are the interchanges rerely, accounted for on an after-the-fact basis?
3.
Mr. Farkas in his Septaber 25, 1978 letter to Mr. Shenefield states that if nere than 10 percent of Grmi Gulf is sold to unaffiliated utilities, then the proceeds of such excets sales ray have to be applied to a proportionate share of outstanding bonds. What is neant by a pro-portioned share? If the proceeds of the excess sales were one million dollars, what proportion of this muld, at the lenders option, go to the retiranent of outstanding bonds? Unat outstanding bonds m uld be retired--
those issued with respect to financing Grand Gulf or others? Since the excess proceeds (funds) would be canng frcm others, hcw would FT&L be injured? Would the lenders be apt to exercise an option that would be injurious to FT&L and therefore theselves? Please provide by illustkation the ragnitude of the potential injury to BT&L using as an e.unple an excess proceeds of one million dollars above the 10 percent limit.
4.
It is our understanding that bT&L has terminated the partial requirements rate schedule and service to Yazoo City. Please-supply a copy of that rate schedule, if available. Did Yazoo City contest the termination? Are the Cities of Clarksdale, Greenwood and Yazoo in the
" Western Mississippi Area" as defined in the Grand Gulf antitrust license conditions? Has MP&L filed with FERC or otherwise drafted or prepared a rate schedule suitable for full requirment and/or partial requirement service to entities in the " Western Mississippi Area"? If so, please supply a copy.
If not, does BT&L propose to prepare one?
Fe are familiar with some of your negotiations with Clarksdale and have a copy of Mr. Farkas' Novmber 17, 1978 correspondence including exhibics to the Department of Justice. If you have additional information and viexpoints regarding Grand Gulf access, transmission services or whole-sale services to Clarksdale we muld be glad to consider these in our reviews.
Sincerely,
/
