    [Docket No. OA96-133-000]
    
        Take notice that on July 29, 1996, pursuant to Section 205 of the 
    Federal Power Act and Part 35 of the Commission's Regulations, IES 
    Utilities Inc. (IES), Interstate Power Company (IPC), Wisconsin Power & 
    Light Company (WPL) and South Beloit Water, Gas & Electric Company 
    (South Beloit) (collectively, the Applicants) submitted for filing a 
    single Open Access Transmission Tariff based on the pro forma tariff 
    included by the Commission in Order No. 888.
        The Applicants state that they are making this filing in connection 
    with the proposed merger of WPL Holdings, Inc. (the holding company 
    parent of WPL and, indirectly, South Beloit), IES Industries Inc. (the 
    holding company parent of IES) and IPC. The transmission service will 
    be provided on the combined transmission systems of the Applicants 
    under a single-system rate. The Applicants state that they are filing 
    this tariff on behalf of the proposed new holding company, Interstate 
    Energy Corporation. The Applicants request that the Commission waive 
    the 120-day notice requirement contained in section 35.3 of the 
    Commission's regulations to allow the tariff to be accepted for filing 
    and put into effect on the date that the merger transactions are 
    consummated.
        Comment date: August 28, 1996, in accordance with Standard 
    Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
        The prior notice of filing setting an August 8, 1996 comment date 
    in Docket No. OA96-133-000 is hereby rescinded.
    
    Standard Paragraph
    
        E. 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 the comment date. 
    Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
    appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
    parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must 
    file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
    Commission and are available for public inspection.
    Lois D. Cashell,
