                                                - 95 -                                                  
            tariff related equipment that was placed in service during 1988,                            
            1989, and 1990.100                                                                          
                        a.    The Tariff Is Not a Contract for Purposes of                              
                              TRA Section 204(a)(3)                                                     
                                                                                                       
                  In support of its argument, petitioner cites cases that                               
            generally state that a tariff is a contract.  For example, in                               
            Life Sciences, Inc. v. Emery Air Freight Corp., 341 So. 2d 272                              
            (Fla. Ct. App. 1977), a shipper brought suit against an air                                 
            carrier to recover damages to its cargo.  Apparently, a tariff                              
            filed by the freight forwarder contained a 1-year property damage                           


                  100 Petitioner argues that the following equipment is readily                         
            identifiable with the tariff and incorporated documents:  (1) The                           
            nuclear fuel assemblies; (2) the nuclear plant property (MSIV air                           
            accumulation system, surveillance system for heat exchangers,                               
            reactor vessel probes, raceway protection, spent fuel rack                                  
            equipment, and area radiation monitoring system equipment); (3)                             
            environmental property (PCB transformers and wastewater                                     
            neutralization treatment system); (4) simulator and training                                
            buildings; and (5) the LMS.  The tax bases of the property for                              
            which petitioner seeks ITCs are as follows:
