    18 CFR 33, seeking authority under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act

    power plant located in the Town of Eustis, Maine, together with 
    relevant power sales and interconnection agreements, to Boralex 
    Stratton Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (Boralex). SEA states that 
    the proposed sales are the final part of a plan that will serve the 
    public interest by lowering costs to CMP and customers of CMP through a 
    restructuring of long term contracts with qualifying facilities. This 
    plan was described by SEA in filings made in Docket Nos. EC98-42-000 
    and ER98-2931-000. The transactions do not require and will not result 
    in the withdrawal of any capacity from the market. Boralex plans to 
    continue to operate the transferred assets as a qualifying small power 
    production facility.
        SEA has requested expedited consideration of the application, in 
    light of that no amendments of any rate schedules are being requested, 
    and that the purchaser intends to continue to operate the transferred 
    assets as a qualifying small power production facility.
