    company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act. AEP will be the

    will lose its individual corporate existence as a consequence of the 
    merger. AEP will also remain the parent of its existing non-utility 
    subsidiaries and become the parent of CSW's non-utility subsidiaries.
        Applicants state that the consideration for the merger was 
    negotiated at arms-length. Applicants state that their merger will not 
    have adverse effects on competition, on rates or on regulation.
        Applicants state that they have, by overnight mail, served a copy 
    of the Application, including all attached materials, on the eleven 
    state regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over their electric utility

    areas, on all other utilities with which those subsidiaries are 
    directly interconnected, and on representatives of the Securities and 
    Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of

    888 open access transmission tariff, which Applicants state would go 
    into effect at the time the merger closes and an Order No. 889 
    standards of conduct. In a further docket, the Applicants have also 
    filed a System Integration Agreement, a Transmission Integration 
    Agreement, and a Transmission Reassignment Tariff.
        Applicants assert that the proposed merger is consistent with the 
    public interest as required by Section 203 of the FPA. Applicants have 
    requested that the Commission approve the merger without a hearing.
