INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
O&R Clean Air Act Proceeding
On May 25, 2000, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
("DEC") issued notices of violation to Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.
("O&R") and four other companies that have operated coal-fired electric
generating facilities in New York State. The notices allege violations of the
federal Clean Air Act and the New York State Environmental Conservation Law
resulting from the alleged failure of the companies to obtain DEC permits for
physical modifications to their generating facilities and to install air
pollution control equipment that would have reduced harmful emissions. The
notice of violation received by O&R relates to the Lovett Generating Station
that it sold in June 1999. O&R is unable to predict whether or not the alleged
violations will have a material adverse effect on its financial position,
results of operation or liquidity.
