Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Xcel Energy Services Inc.; 
Southwestern Public Service Company; Notice of Petition for Declaratory 
Order

August 1, 2006.
    Take notice that on July 28, 2006, Tri-County Electric Cooperative, 
Inc. (Tri-County), Xcel Energy Services Inc., and Southwestern Public 
Service Company (SPS) (collectively ``Petitioners'') filed a joint 
petition for declaratory order for a finding that: (i) SPS alone is 
subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the Federal Power Act 
(FPA) and (ii) disclaiming jurisdiction over Tri-County in connection 
with the disposition by SPS of certain distribution assets to Tri-
County. Alternatively, petitioners request that the Commission grant 
Tri-County waivers of otherwise applicable section of the FPA.
    The Petitioners state that a copy was served upon the Kansas 
Corporation Commission, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, and the 
Public Utility Commission of Texas.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. On or 
before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to 
intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov.
 Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 

original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
