The Application-Declaration in this File No. 70-8641, as heretofore
amended, is hereby further amended as follows:
Item I. Description of Proposed Transactions
Paragraph 15 of the Application-Declaration is restated to read as follows:
15. In addition, under certain circumstances, it may be necessary or
economically efficient to substitute other sources of energy for electricity
generated by an Operating Company. For example, if electricity is being sold
across a transmission interface and the interface becomes constrained such that
the Operating Company is precluded from transmitting the power to the purchasing
utility, the Operating Company may be able to transfer some of its fuel supply
to the buying utility in order to allow the buying utility to generate a like
amount of power itself. In this way the Operating Company would be able to
substitute one source of energy for another to effect the same sale of
electricity. Similarly, if local environmental constraints preclude the
Operating Company from generating a certain amount of electricity for a
wholesale customer, and the customer is not subject to a similar constraint, the
Operating Company may be able to transfer some of its fuel supply to the buying
utility in order to allow the buying utility to generate a like amount of power
itself in an environmentally acceptable manner. Another example would occur if
the marginal cost of the Operating Company's generation made it uneconomic for
the purchasing utility to buy a certain amount of power from the Operating
Company but it would be economic for that utility to purchase fuel from the
Operating Company and generate the power itself, the Operating Company may be
able to transfer some of its fuel supplies to the buying utility in order to
allow the buying utility to generate economically a like amount of power
itself. Such fuel-for-energy activities are hereinafter included within the
defined term "Marketing". In no circumstances would such transactions involve
inter-affiliate transfers of fuel supplies in violation of any applicable law
or be disadvantageous to any franchise area customer.
Paragraph 24 of the original Application-Declaration is amended by deleting
the sentence therein and substituting the addition to Paragraph 24 filed with
Amendment No. 3 in this File.
