in File No. 70-8615, as heretofore amended, by adding the following
paragraphs at the end of Item 1:
"Compliance with Rule 54
AEP Resources International, Limited ('AEPRI'), an indirect
subsidiary of AEP, is an exempt wholesale generator ('EWG'), as
defined in Section 32 of the Act. AEP, through its subsidiary, AEP
Resources, Inc., invested $5,000 in AEPRI. This investment
represents less than 1% of $1,331,245,000, the average of the
consolidated retained earnings of AEP reported on Form 10-K or Form
10-Q, as applicable, for the four consecutive quarters ended March
31, 1995.
AEPRI will maintain books and records and make available the
books and records required by Rule 53(a)(2). No more than 2% of
the employees of the operating subsidiaries of AEP will, at any one
time, directly or indirectly, render services to AEPRI. AEP has
submitted and will continue to submit a copy of Item 9 and Exhibits
G and H of AEP's Form U5S to each of the public service commissions
having jurisdiction over the retail rates of AEP's operating
utility subsidiaries. Data was filed under Item 9 and Exhibits G
and H in AEP's Form U5S for the calendar year 1994.
In addition, (i) neither AEP nor any subsidiary of AEP is the
subject of any pending bankruptcy or similar proceeding; (ii) AEP's
average consolidated retained earnings for the four most recent
quarterly periods ($1,331,245,000) represented an increase of
approximately $38,038,000 (or 2.9%) in the average consolidated
retained earnings from the previous four quarterly periods
($1,293,207,000); and (iii) for the year ended December 31, 1994,
there were no losses attributable to AEP's direct or indirect
investments in AEPRI other than $4,000 in start-up costs."
