[Docket No. ER95-1357-000]

    Take notice that on July 10, 1995, Wisconsin Electric Power Company 
(WEPCO), Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) NSP, and Northern 
States Power Company (Wisconsin) (NSP-W) (together, ``the Applicants'') 
jointly filed an ``Amended and Restated Agreement to Coordinate 
Planning and Operations and Interchange Power and Energy Between 
Northern States Power Company and Wisconsin Energy Company'' 
(``Interchange Agreement'').
    Since 1970, NSP and NSP-W have coordinated the planning and 
operation of their combined electric system, and equalized the 
production and transmission costs of that system, under an Agreement to 
Coordinate Planning and Operations and Interchange Power and Energy.
    On April 28, 1995, NSP and Wisconsin Energy Corporation, the parent 
company of WEPCO, entered into an agreement to merge. Under the merger 
agreement, NSP-W and WEPCO will merge to form Wisconsin. Following the 
merger, WEC and NSP will operate as subsidiaries of Primergy Corp., a 
registered holding company.
    The principal purpose of the filing in this docket is to add WEC as 
a party to the current NSP Interchange Agreement and thereby permit the 
Primergy system to operate in the same coordinated manner, and share 
production and transmission costs on the same basis, as the NSP system 
currently does.
    The Applicants have requested that this proceeding be consolidated 
with 

[[Page 39164]]
the Section 203 proceeding relating to approval of the proposed merger.
    Copies of the filing were served on each of the state commissions 
that regulate the Applicants' electric rates and each of the 
Applicants' wholesale customers.
    Comment date: August 8, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
E at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraph

    E. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should

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,
Secretary.
