                                               - 198 -                                                  
            specifically depict and locate the transformers at the                                      
            distribution and transmission substations.                                                  
                  Respondent asserts that petitioner does not satisfy the                               
            “written specific plan” requirement because the “diagrams                                   
            submitted by FPL included revisions after December 31, 1985.”  We                           
            disagree with respondent.  As we noted, the conference report                               
            indicates that a taxpayer may modify the written plan as long as                            
            the modifications are not significant.  H. Conf. Rept. 99-841                               
            (Vol. II), supra at II-57, 1986-3 C.B. (Vol. 4) at 57.  Mr.                                 
            Veronee testified that the revisions made after December 31,                                
            1985, reflect the original design for each substation.  Because                             
            these modifications adhere to the original design, we believe                               
            that they are insignificant and allowable under TRA section                                 
            203(b)(1)(C).                                                                               
                  Although Mr. Veronee testified that the Hiatus substation                             
            plot plan would have contained information similar to that in the                           
            other plot plans, petitioner did not introduce the plot plan for                            
            this substation.  As a result, petitioner does not satisfy the                              
            “written specific plan” requirement for the Hiatus substation.                              
            For the remaining substations at issue, the plot plans satisfy                              
            the “written specific plan” requirement of TRA section                                      
            203(b)(1)(C) because the plans provide written diagrams of the                              
            substations and specifically identify the equipment that                                    
            petitioner constructed.
