FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leon Jourolmon, Assistant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Power Commission by order issued 
December 5, 1991, in Docket No. EF91-3041-000, confirmed and approved 
Wholesale Power Rate Schedules KP-1-D, JHK-2-B, JHK-3-B, and PH-1-B 
applicable to Kerr-Philpott Projects' power for a period ending 
September 30, 1996.

Discussion

    Existing rate schedules are predicated upon a June 1991 repayment 
study and other supporting data all of which are contained in EF91-
3041-000. A January 1996 repayment study prepared using present rates 
demonstrates that all costs are paid within their repayment life. 
Therefore, Southeastern is proposing to extend the four present rate 
schedules. The demand charge applicable to preference customers remains 
at the $1.86 per kilowatt of monthly demand and the energy charge 
remains at 7.67 mills per kilowatt-hour.
    The referenced January 1996 system repayment study along with 
previous system repayment studies are available for examination at the 
Samuel Elbert Building, 2 South Public Square, Elberton, Georgia 30635. 
Proposed Rate Schedules KP-1-D, JHK-2-B, JHK-3-B, and PH-1-B are also 
available.

    Issued at Elberton, Georgia, January 25, 1996.
Charles A. Borchardt,
Administrator.
