July 23, 1997.
    Take notice that on June 25, 1997, pursuant to Section 306 of the

for filing a Verified Complaint, Request for Interim Relief and Request 
for Shortened Answer Period against Central Illinois Public Service

and UE, which is operating CIPS' transmission system, have refused to 
provide QST with monthly firm transmission service to deliver firm

CIPS' refusal to provide QST with firm transmission service after CIPS 
agreed to make a firm power sale; CIPS' and UE's refusal to provide 
transmission service which MAIN indicated was available; the refusal by 
CIPS and UE to provide a copy of the study done which is allegedly the 
basis for refusing to provide transmission service; and UE's 
anticompetitive use of CIPS' transmission system to deny available 
service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such 
motions or protests should be filed on or before August 8, 1997. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not service to make 
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this application are 
on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection. 
Answers to the complaint shall be due on or before August 8, 1997.
