American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("American"), a holding
company registered under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935 ("1935 Act"), hereby amend its Application or Declaration on
Form U-1 in File No. 70-8779, as follows:
By amending and restating section A of Item 1. Description of
Proposed Transaction to read as follows:
"A. New Business
The New Subsidiaries propose to engage in the businesses
of brokering and marketing Energy Commodities. Energy
Commodities include, but are not limited to, natural and
manufactured gas, electric power, emission allowances, coal,
oil, refined petroleum, refined petroleum products and natural
gas liquids. Their brokering business will involve arranging
the sale and purchase, transportation, transmission and
storage of Energy Commodities for a commission. Their
marketing business will involve entering into contracts to
sell, purchase, exchange, pool, transport, transmit,
distribute, store and otherwise deal in Energy Commodities.
The New Subsidiaries may from time to time have an inventory
of Energy Commodities; however, they will not own or operate
facilities used for the production, generation, processing,
storage, transmission, transportation, or distribution of
Energy Commodities.
Although they will not sell electric power to retail
customers if such sales are not permitted by law, the New
Subsidiaries propose to broker and market Energy Commodities
to retail and wholesale customers. In order to manage the
risk associated with brokering and marketing Energy
Commodities, the New Subsidiaries may enter into futures,
forwards, swaps and options contracts relating to Energy
Commodities. No future, forward, swap or option contract will
be entered into for speculation; such contract will only be
entered to manage risk associated with brokering and marketing
Energy Commodities. No New Subsidiary will be a public
utility company under the 1935 Act."
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly caused
this statement to be signed on their behalf by the undersigned
thereunto duly authorized.
