Re: Central Maine Power Company
Docket No. EC98-36-000
Dear Secretary Boergers:
On April 3, 1998, Central Maine Power Company ("Central Maine") filed an
applpication requesting that the Commission approve its corporate reorganization
to form a holding company structure. On July 16, 1998, the Commission issued an
Order Conditionally Authorizing Proposed Corporate Reorganization (the "Order").
In the Order, the Commission conditioned its approval of Central Maine's
proposed holding company formation on Central Maine's agreeing to abide by the
Commission's policies with respect to intra-corporate transactions, if the
Securities and Exchange Commission were to determine that the holding company is
a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, as amended (the "1935 Act"). In paragraph (E) of the Commission's orders,
the Commission required Central Maine to inform it with 15 days whether the
condition is acceptable.
Central Maine accepts the Commission's condition. Central Maine continues
to expect that the holding company (to be named "CMP Group, Inc.") will be an
exempt holding company under the 1935 Act. However, if CMP Group, Inc., becomes
a registered holding company under the 1935 Act, Central Maine hereby agrees to
abide by the Commission's policies with respect to intra- corporate
transactions.
The Commission also required that Central Maine submit its accounting for
the creation of the holding company within six months of the completion of the
reorganization. Central Maine acknowledges this requirement and will submit such
accounting within six months of the creation of the holding company.
Please direct any questions regarding the above to the undersigned.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ H. Liza Moses
