Northeast Utilities Service Company, Inc. et al. (70-8699)

    Northeast Utilities Service Company (``NUSCO''), Northeast Nuclear 
Energy Company (``Northeast Nuclear'') and Connecticut Yankee Atomic 
Power Company (``Connecticut Yankee''), each of 107 Selden Street, 
Berlin, Connecticut 06037, North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation 
(``North Atlantic''), Route 1, Lafayette Road, Seabrook, New Hampshire 
03874, and Yankee Atomic Electric Company (``Yankee Atomic''), 580 Main 
Street, Bolton, Massachusetts 01740, subsidiaries of Northeast 
Utilities, (``Northeast''), a registered holding company, have filed a 
declaration under sections 13(b) and 13(f) of the Act and rules 86, 90, 
89, 90 and 91 thereunder.
    NUSCO is a wholly owned service company subsidiary of Northeast 
that provides legal, accounting, and other administrative services to 
companies in the Northeast system. Northeast Nuclear and North Atlantic 
are wholly owned electric utility and service company subsidiaries of 
Northeast that operate the Millstone Nuclear Power Station and the 
Seabrook nuclear plant, respectively. Connecticut Yankee and Yankee 
Atomic are electric utility subsidiaries of Northeast \1\ that own and 
operate the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Plant and the Yankee 
Nuclear Power Station, respectively.

    \1\ Connecticut Yankee and Yankee Atomic are also subsidiaries 
of New England Electric System, also a registered holding company 
under the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The applicants seek authorization \2\ to enter into a Reciprocal 
Support Agreement (``Agreement''), under which Northeast Nuclear, North 
Atlantic, Connecticut Yankee, and Yankee Atomic may temporarily provide 
technical resources, personnel and equipment to each other. NUSCO would 
provide billing, accounting and other similar services to facilitate 
the transactions among these companies and would be compensated for its 
services by the companies who receive equipment or services. 
Compensation for transactions under the Agreement would be at ``cost,'' 
as determined in accordance with the Act and related rules thereunder.

    \2\ Pursuant to prior orders of the Commission, Northeast 
Nuclear and North Atlantic Service have agreed to seek Commission 
approval prior to providing services to entities other than the 
joint owners of the respective nuclear units that they operate. 
Northeast Utilities et al., Holding Co. Act Release No. 25565 (June 
29, 1992), and Northeast Nuclear Energy Company, Holding Co. Act 
Release No. 25950 (Dec. 16, 1993).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The applicants state that temporary sharing of resources and 
personnel between nuclear units is similar to the emergency provision 
of resources that occurs routinely on an informal basis in the nuclear 
industry, and that the Agreement is a logical extension and 
formalization of this practice.

shares purchased on the open market, to acquire on behalf of plan 
participants) and well under the Plans, from time to time through 
December 31, 2000: (1) The remaining shares of common stock covered 
under the Merger Order, consisting of 7,386,696 shares at September 1, 
1995; and (2) up to an additional 15 million shares of Cinergy common 
stock.
    Cinergy proposes to use the proceeds from sales of the Cinergy

short-term indebtedness and investments in subsidiary companies.
