December 30, 1994.
    On November 8, 1994, the Chief Accountant issued a letter under 
delegated authority noting Pennsylvania Power & Light Company's (PP&L) 
disagreement with respect to certain recommendations of the Division of 
Audits.\1\ PP&L was requested to advise whether it would agree to the 
disposition of the contested matters under the shortened procedures 
provided for by Part 41 of the Commission's Regulations. 18 CFR Part 
41.

    \1\69 FERC  62, 135. The contested matters are the three items 
discussed in Part I of the letter order.

consent to the shortened procedures. Section 41.7 of the Commission's 
Regulations provides that in case consent to the shortened procedures 
is not given, the proceeding will be assigned for hearing. Accordingly, 
the Secretary, under authority delegated by the Commission, will set

file a protest or motion to intervene pursuant to Rules 211 and 214 of

order in the Federal Register.

and 301 thereof, and pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedures (18 CFR Chapter I), a public hearing shall be held 
concerning the appropriateness of PP&L's practices as referred to 
above.
    (B) A Presiding Administrative Law Judge, to be designated by the 
Chief Administrative Law Judge, shall convene a prehearing conference
