American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("AEP"), a registered holding
company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended ("1935
Act"), and its subsidiary, AEP Resources, Inc. ("Resources"), hereby amend their
Application-Declaration on Form U-1 in File No. 70-8429 by restating the fifth
and sixth paragraphs of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 as follows. In all other
respects the Application-Declaration as previously filed and amended will remain

"AEP proposes to extend from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2003 its
authority to (i) issue short-term indebtedness and issue and sell equity
securities; (ii) guarantee the indebtedness of Resources, Project Parents
and Power Projects; and (iii) guarantee financial commitments other than
indebtedness of Resources, Project Parents and Power Projects, solely for
the purpose of investing in and guaranteeing the operations of, either
directly or indirectly, Power Projects, provided that the total of the net
proceeds used for these investments and guarantees outstanding at any one
time may not, when added to AEP's aggregate investment in all EWGs and
FUCOs, exceed the 2000 Investment Limit.
Resources and Power Projects propose to extend from December 31,
2000 to June 30, 2003 authority to guarantee financial commitments, other
than indebtedness, of Exempt Entities ("Non-Utility Subsidiary
Guarantees") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3 billion
outstanding at any one time, exclusive of any guarantees and other forms
of credit support that are exempt pursuant to Rule 45(b) and Rule 52(b),
provided, however, that the amount of Non-Utility Guarantees in respect of
obligations of any Rule 58 subsidiaries of AEP shall remain subject to the
limitations of Rule 58(a)(1)."
