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

summary: On December 23, 1993, the Commission issued revised record 
formats and edit-checks for the FERC Form No. 2. Most of the changes to 
the record formats and edit checks were necessary to accommodate 
certain new accounting requirements and new and revised pages for the 
Form No. 2 that were established in Order No. 552, issued March 31, 
1993. This version of the Form No. 2 software provides for the new 
accounting and reporting requirements of Order No. 552; includes 
``cosmetic'' enhancements to improve the readability of the printed 
output pages; and expands the validation of the electronically filed 
Form No. 2 data through additional edit-checking equations.
    The Form No. 2 edit-checking and print software modules are 
distributed as one package. Details on how to obtain the software are 
explained in the ADDRESSES and SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION sections of 
this Notice.
    An errata notice to correct several errors in the Form No. 2 list 
of new and revised record formats and edit check equations released on 
December 23, 1993, is provided in Appendix A.
