Background
Formerly known as O'Brien Environmental Energy, Inc., the registrant
(the "Company") changed its name to NRG Generating (U.S.) Inc. in
connection with its emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 1996, under a
plan of reorganization (the "Bankruptcy Plan") approved by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. Under the Bankruptcy
Plan, all options granted pursuant to the O'Brien Environmental Energy,
Inc. 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") were canceled, and each
share of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Class A Common Stock"), was canceled and converted into a right to receive
approximately .22 shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
the Company.
Deregistration of Securities
The Company previously registered 1,000,000 shares of the Class A
Common Stock (the "Shares") on the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(Registration No. 33-50784) (the "Form S-8") filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 13, 1992. Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of
Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration
Statement on Form S-8 is being filed in order to deregister all Shares that
were registered under the Form S-8 and which remain unissued under the
Option Plan. The reasons for the deregistration of the Shares are that (i)
no additional shares will be issued under the Option Plan, and (ii) there
are no remaining outstanding options under the Option Plan.
