(UtiliCorp), made a filing requesting that the Commission amend the 
authorization granted in Docket Nos. ES95-19-000, ES95-19-001 and ES95-

    By letter order dated February 17, 1995 (70 FERC para. 62,105), 
UtiliCorp was authorized to enter into a loan purchase agreement to 
provide corporate guaranties, in an amount not to exceed $112.5 million 
to guarantee payment by UtiliCorp South Pacific, Inc. (USP) of 
borrowings under a three-year line of credit. The original application 
contemplated that the loan proceeds subject to the loan purchase 
agreement would be used for acquisition of equity interests in two New 
Zealand electric companies, Power New Zealand (PNZ) and EnergyDirect 
Corporation Limited (EDL).
    In its July 5, 1995 filing, UtiliCorp states that USP no longer 
intends to acquire an equity interest in EDL and now intends to use 
that portion of the loan proceeds to fund USP's portion of UtiliCorp 
New Zealand's (UNZ) cost to acquire additional shares in WEL Energy 
Group Limited (WEL).
    UtiliCorp requests clarification from the Commission that no 
additional authorization is needed for UtiliCorp to guarantee repayment 
of the portion of the loan proceeds used to fund the purchase of 
additional shares in WEL. In the alternative, UtiliCorp requests that 
the Commission amend its authorization to permit UtiliCorp to extend 
the guarantee to cover the substitute use of a portion of the loan 
purchase agreement funds.
    Also, UtiliCorp requests that the amendment be exempted from the 
Commission's competitive bidding and negotiated placement requirements.

    Comment date: August 4, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
E at the end of this notice.

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.
