NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) B.V.; Notice of Amended Application 
of NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) B.V. for Expedited New Determination 
of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status

April 2, 1997.
    On March 31, 1997, NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) B.V. 
(``Applicant'') applied for a new determination that it will be an 
``exempt wholesale generator'' (``EWG'') within the meaning of Section 
32(a)(1) of PUHCA (the ``Application''). On April 2, 1997, Applicant 
amended (the ``Amended Application'') its initial application to submit 
additional information. As stated in the Application and the Amended 
Application, Applicant has joined a consortium which intends, by April 
17, 1997, to submit a bid to purchase all of the shares and assets of 
Loy Yang Power Corporation Ltd. (``Loy Yang A''), currently wholly-
owned by the State of Victoria, Australia. Loy Yang A owns an electric 
generating facility (the ``Facility'') and an adjacent coal mine 
located in Victoria, Australia. Loy Yang A would also serve as the 
primary operator of the Facility, although it will subcontract or 
assign certain aspects of its responsibilities as operator to 
affiliates or subsidiaries of various consortium members. If the 
consortium's bid is successful, Applicant, through one or more 
affiliates, will become an owner and operator of the Facility.
    Any person desiring to be heard concerning the application for 
exempt wholesale generator status should file a motion to intervene or 
comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
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 18 CFR 385.214). The Commission will limit its consideration of 
comments to those that concern the adequacy or accuracy of the 
application. All such motions and comments should be filed on or before 
April 14, 1997, and must be served on the Applicant. 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.
