40. The Montana Power Company
[Docket Nos. ER00-531-000 and EC99-36-001]
Take Notice that, on November 4, 1999, The Montana Power Company
(Montana Power) and PP&L Montana, LLC (PPLM) (together, the Applicants)
hereby jointly supplement, under Sections 203 and 205 of the Federal
Power Act, their Joint Application for Approval of Disposition Of
Jurisdictional Facilities and Approval of Related Agreements filed on
February 11, 1999 (February 11th Application) and approved by the
Commission on June 22, 1999. The Applicants state that since obtaining
Commission authorization to consummate the divestiture transaction they
have agreed to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) to provide that
the Idaho Exchange Agreement and the Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA) Exchange Agreement will not be transferred to PPLM as part of the
transaction. The Applicants further state that the instant filing makes
no changes to the February 11th Application which would present new
issues regarding the transaction's effect on market power, rates or
regulation. The Applicants request such additional authorization under
Section 203 as the Commission may deem necessary with regard to the
non-transfer of the BPA Exchange Agreement and the Idaho Exchange
Agreement.
The Applicants state that the primary purpose of the instant filing
is to ensure that, along with the authorized asset transfer, the
appropriate rate schedules are assigned to PPLM and that, where needed,
agency agreements are effective as of the anticipated closing date.
PPLM requests that the Commission assign rate schedule designations for
certain agreements that will be assigned to PPLM, as provided for under
the terms of the APA, and delete certain other rate schedule
designations that will not be assigned to PPLM as a result of Montana
Power's retention of certain assets. In addition, Montana Power
supplements its rate schedules for the Pacific Northwest Coordination
Agreement and the Idaho Exchange Agreement to include agency agreements
pursuant to which PPLM will act as agent for Montana Power for certain
purposes under each of these agreements. Montana Power also files to
cancel the BPA Exchange Agreement which was terminated upon the mutual
agreement of BPA and Montana Power, the only two parties to the
agreement, in conjunction with the divestiture transaction. Applicants
request that the Commission act expeditiously on their requests made in
the instant filing and grant waivers as appropriate so that the
transaction may be closed in November as scheduled.
Comment date: November 24, 1999, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
