Great Bay Power Corporation, et al.; Electric Rate and Corporate 
Regulation Filings

April 18, 1996.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Great Bay Power Corporation

[Docket No. EC96-18-000]

    Take notice that on April 11, 1996, Great Bay Power Corporation 
(Great Bay), submitted an application pursuant to Sec. 203 of the 
Federal Power Act for authority to effect a ``disposition of 
facilities'' that would be deemed to occur as a result of 
implementation of a proposed holding company structure, all as more 
fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    The application states that implementation of the holding company 
structure proposed would be accomplished through the creation of a 
holding company (Holding Company) of which Great Bay would be a 
subsidiary. It is stated that the proposed holding company structure is 
intended to facilitate the separation of Great Bay's activities as an 
exempt wholesale generator (EWG), as that term is defined under Section 
32 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, from any other 
business. Such separation will permit Holding Company to engage in 
business activities through subsidiaries other than Great Bay, which 
Great Bay is prohibited from engaging in due to its status as an EWG.
    Comment date: May 9, 1996, in accordance with Standard Paragraph E 
at the end of this notice.
