Corn Belt Power Cooperative; Petition for Waiver

June 3, 1994.
    Notice is hereby given that the Corn Belt Power Cooperative (Corn 
Belt) has filed on May 27, 1994, pursuant to Sec. 292.402 of the 
Commission's Regulations, a petition for waiver of certain obligations 
imposed under Secs. 292.303(a) and 292.303(b) of the Commission's 
Regulations (18 CFR Part 292 Subpart C) which implement section 210 of 
the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). Corn Belt 
has duly implemented the Commission's PURPA Regulations by filing a 
PURPA implementation plan on May 27, 1994.
    Corn Belt requests a waiver on behalf of Boone Valley Electric 
Cooperative, Butler County Rural Electric Cooperative, Calhoun County 
Electric Cooperative Association, Franklin Rural Electric Cooperative, 
Glidden Rural Electric Cooperative, Grundy County Rural Electric 
Cooperative, Hancock County Rural Electric Cooperative, Midland Power 
Cooperative, Humbolt County Rural Electric Cooperative, Iowa Lakes 
Electric Cooperative, Sac County Rural Electric Cooperative and Wright 
County Rural Electric Cooperative (Members). Specifically, Corn Belt 
seeks a waiver of the requirement contained in 18 CFR 292.303(a) which 
would require these member electric cooperatives to purchase power made 
available from any qualifying facility (QF) and of the obligation in 18 
CFR 292.303(b) which would require Corn Belt to make sales to any QF. 
The applicant believes that purchases by the Members from QFs or sales 
by Corn Belt to QFs are unnecessary to encourage cogeneration or small 
power production and are not otherwise required by section 210 of 
PURPA.
    Any person desiring to be heard or objecting to the granting of the 
petition for this waiver of the Commission's Regulations should file a 
motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed within 30 
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register and must be served on the applicant. 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 petition 
to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
