The undersigned companies hereby amend their Application or
Declaration on Form U-1 in File No. 70-7167, as heretofore
amended, as follows:
By amending and restating the sixth and eighth paragraphs in
Item 1E. Determination of Barge Rates:
"This post-effective amendment is being filed to
comply with recommendations of the Commission staff,
resulting from its field audit of Indiana Michigan
Power Company's ('I&M') River Transportation Division.
Specifically, the Commission staff suggested that I&M
adjust its cost of capital rate authorized in the
original order (HCAR No. 35-24039, March 4, 1986) to
conform the rate to the current market. Therefore, I&M
proposes that the provision for cost of capital
applicable to its investment in the River
Transportation Division would be adjusted on an annual
basis, determined as set forth in Appendix A to the
Barge Transportation Agreement. The overall rate of
return on I&M's investment would be subject to
adjustment on the first day of April in each succeeding
year based on changes in the rate of return on common
equity most recently allowed by either (i) the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ('FERC') in the last
wholesale rate proceeding involving I&M or (ii) the
Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in I&M's most
recent retail rate proceeding. Furthermore, I&M
proposes to change the way in which the working capital
base is calculated in determining the cost-of-capital
rate. Specifically, I&M proposes to include one-eighth
(1/8) of the sum of River Transportation Division's
annual expenditures, year-end undercollection,
prepayments, materials and supplies inventories
balances, less year-end current liabilities and accrual
balances.
Attached hereto as Appendix A is a chart which
reflects how I&M calculated the current market rate of
return using December 31, 1994 financial information.
Such information would be reported by I&M in its Rule
24 reports. By adjusting the provision for the cost of
capital, the cost of capital rate will be increased<PAGE>
from the 8.82% currently authorized to 9.69%, thus
increasing the fees charged by I&M; however, in the
event the cost of debt or preferred stock or the return
on common equity decreases, the capital rate will
likewise decrease."
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly caused
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to be signed on their behalf
by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
