    On June 7, 1996, AYP Energy, Inc. (``Applicant'') filed with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an application for determination 
of exempt wholesale generator status pursuant to Part 365 of the 
Commission's Regulations.
    Applicant is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of 
Delaware. Applicant is a wholly owned subsidiary of AYP Capital, Inc. 
(``AYP''), which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegheny Power 
System, Inc. (``APS''), a registered electric utility holding company. 
Applicant's business address is c/o Allegheny Power Service 
Corporation, 800 Cabin Hill Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601 (Attn: Theresa 
Colecchia).
    The eligible facility consists primarily of a 50 percent undivided 
interest in Unit No. 1 of the Fort Martin Power Station, an operating 
steam-electric generating unit, and associated portion of Ft. Martin 
Unit 1's main transformers. Ft. Martin Unit 1 is located in West 
Virginia on the Monongahela River between Morgantown, West Virginia and 
Point Marion, Pennsylvania. The portion of Ft. Martin Unit 1 that is 
the eligible facility is currently owned by Duquesne Light Company 
(``Duquesne''), a Pennsylvania public utility not affiliated with APS;

before December 31, 1996 its undivided ownership interest in Ft. Martin 
Unit 1 (including its interest in the transformers) to AYP, which will 
assign the Asset Purchase Agreement to AYP Energy, Inc. The remainder 
of the facility of which the eligible facility is a portion is owned by 
Monogahela Power Company (``MPC'') and The Potomac Edison Company 
(``PEC''), two of the three wholly owned electric operating 
subsidiaries of APS.
