Tucson Electric Power Co.; Rescission of Prohibition Order Issued 
Under the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of rescission of prohibition order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy of the Department of Energy gives 
notice that on March 31, 1994, it issued an order rescinding the final 
Prohibition Order issued on July 15, 1981, to the Tucson Electric Power 
Company (TEP) by the Economic Regulatory Administration (46 FR 37960, 
July 23, 1981) under the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 
(42 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.). This rescission permits TEP to continue to 
use oil or natural gas as a primary energy source in its Irvington 
Generating Station Units 1, 2, and 3.
    This action is being taken at the request of TEP because of changed 
circumstances regarding the economic and financial feasibility of 
converting these generating units to coal as an energy source.
    A copy of this rescission order is available for inspection and 
copying in the Office of Fuels Programs Docket Room, room 3F-056, 
Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585, 
[phone]. The docket room is open between the hours of 8 a.m. and 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

    Issued in Washington, DC, April 4, 1994.

Director, Office of Coal & Electricity, Office of Fuels Programs,
