	MOTION OF 
THE CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR CORPORATION
TO FILE COMMENTS ONE DAY OUT-OF-TIME

	Pursuant to Rules 212 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 C.F.R. § 385.212, the California Independent System Operator Corporation (“ISO”), hereby moves for leave to file its Comments on Reports Regarding Ancillary Services Market Operation, in the above-entitled proceedings, one day out of time.  It support of this motion, the ISO states as follows:
	In its July 17, 1998, Order in the above-entitled proceedings, the Commission directed the Market Surveillance Committee (“MSC”) of the ISO and the Market Monitoring Committee (“MMC”) of the California Power Exchange to file reports on the Operation of the ISO’s Ancillary Services Market within 30 days of the Order.  It directed that comments on the Reports be filed 15 later after their submittal.  
	The MMC Report was filed on August 17, 1998.  The MSC was granted an extension, and filed its Report on August 19, 1998.   The Commission granted an extension regarding comments on the MMC Report, such that comments on both Reports were to be filed by September 3, 1998.  
	During the same period that Comments were being prepared, ISO personnel responsible for evaluating market policies have been needed to attend to proceedings in other dockets, including meeting Commission deadlines for responses to comments on the ISO’s June 1, 1998,  compliance filing and July 15, 1998,  clarification filing, as well as scheduled settlement meetings.  These obligations precluded the completion of internal review of the Comments on the MSC and MCC Reports prior to the Commission’s deadline.  The ISO concluded that it would be advisable to seek leave to file its Comments one day out of time rather than submit Comments that might need to be amended.

	WHEREFORE, the ISO respectfully request that the Commission grant it leave to file its Comments on day out of time.
						Respectfully submitted,
