DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket Nos. ES95-37-001 and ES95-37-002]


Texas-New Mexico Power Company and Texas Generating Company II; 
Notice of Amended Application

September 12, 1995.
    Take notice that on September 8, 1995, Texas-New Mexico Power 
Company (TNP) and Texas Generating Company II (TGC II) filed amendments 
the application filed in Docket No. ES95-37-000. Such amendments 
provide explanations of both an existing credit agreement which was 
authorized by the Commission in Docket No. ES94-12-000 et al.\1\ and an 
amended credit agreement which TNP and TGC II are proposing to enter 
into. The amendments differentiate between the two agreements, as well 
as noting the anticipated benefits to be realized by entry into the 
proposed amended credit agreement. TNP notes that entry into the 
amended credit agreement will allow the refinancing of currently 
outstanding long-term debt with debt under the amended credit agreement 
which will bear a cost lower than the existing long-term debt. TNP also 
notes that its long-term debt is not anticipated to be of investment 
grade until 1998 and would therefore have a cost higher than the 

[[Page 48109]]
debt under the amended credit agreement. In addition to savings to be 
realized through the refinancing the existing long-term debt, TNP 
further notes that, under the terms of the amended credit agreement, it 
will also realize cost savings as compared to borrowings under the 
present credit agreement which would be replaced by the proposed credit 
agreement.

    TNP and TGC II also note that the proposed credit agreement is, in 
essence, an extension of the existing credit agreement for an 
additional two years but under terms that are simpler and more 
favorable than the terms of the existing credit agreement.
    TNP and TGC II also submitted amended Exhibit C, Balance Sheet; 
Exhibit D, Income Statement; and E, Statement of Cash Flows and 
Computation of Interest Coverage, for the twelve months ended June 30, 
1995, as well as supplemental information on TNP's anticipated 
financial condition. The amendments also corrected a reference to TGC 
II in the original filing which should have been a reference to TNP.
    TNP and TGC II also request Commission action by September 25, 
1995, instead of September 15, 1995 as originally requested.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426 in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions 
or protests should be filed on or before September 20, 1995. Protests 
will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken, but will not serve to make the protestants partiers 
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.
