American and AEPES hereby amend their Application or
Declaration on Form U-1 in File No. 70-8307 by adding the following
paragraph to Part F. Subsidiaries of AEPES under ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION:
"In addition, to mitigate risk or access skills and
relationships that AEPES may require, Applicants expect that
AEPES will pursue proposed business activities in certain
instances through alliances with non-associates. Certain of
these alliances may be relatively informal, not involving the
formation of any new entities. Others may encompass formal
joint ventures, possibly involving the formation of one or
more wholly- or partly-owned subsidiaries of AEPES.
Accordingly, Applicants request authorization for AEPES to
form any such wholly- or partly-owned subsidiaries for the
exclusive purpose of implementing any of its proposed business
activities as previously described."
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly caused
this amendment to be signed on their behalf by the undersigned
thereunto duly authorized.
