(IMEA), on behalf of itself and its twenty four members (Members) has 
filed on June 9, 1997, pursuant to Section 292.402 of the Commission's 
Regulations, a petition for waiver of certain obligations imposed under 
Section 292.303(a) and 292.303(b) of the Commission's Regulations (18 
CFR Part 292, Subpart C) which implement Section 210 of the Public 
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).
    IMEA requests a waiver on behalf of the Cities of Altmont, Bethany, 
Breese, Bushnell, Cairo, Carlyle, Carmi, Casey, Farmer, Flora, 
Highland, Ladd, Marshall, Mascoutah, Metropolis, Oglesby, Peru, 
Princeton, Rantoul, Rock Falls, Roodhouse, and Winnetka, the Village of 
Freeburg, and the Town of Waterloo, Illinois. Specifically, IMEA seeks 
a waiver of the requirement contained in 18 CFR Part 292.303(a) which 
requires Member to purchase power made available from any qualifying 
facility (QF) and of the obligation in 18 CFR 292.303(b) which requires 
IMEA to make sales to any QF. The applicant believes that purchases by 
Members from QFs or sales by IMEA to QFs are not necessary to encourage 
cogeneration and small power production and are not otherwise required 
by Section 210 of PURPA.
    Comment date: Within 30 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with Standard Paragraph E
