[Docket No. EG97-49-000]


NRGenerating Holdings (No. 3) B.V.; Notice of Application For 
Expedited New Determination of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status

April 2, 1997.
    On April 2, 1997, NRGenerating Holdings (No. 3) B.V. 
(``Applicant'') applied for a new determination that it will be an 
``exempt wholesale generator'' within the meaning of Section 32(a)(1) 
of PUHCA. An affiliate of Applicant (NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) 
B.V.) has joined with others in forming a new consortium entitled 
``Horizon Energy Partnership,'' which intends, by April 17, 1997, to 
submit a bid as an unincorporated joint venture 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''), as well as 
certain other assets. Under Horizon's proposal, Loy Yang A will 
continue to serve as the operator of the Facility. But certain aspects 
of the operation and maintenance of the Loy Yang A Power Station would 
be subcontracted to a joint venture company to be owned in part by 
Applicant. Thus, if Horizon's bid is successful, Applicant, indirectly 
through an affiliate, will become an 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 
comment 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.
