Wisconsin Public Service Corp.; Notice of Filing

August 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 24, 1997, Wisconsin Public Service 
Corporation (WPSC) filed an Application for Change of Depreciation 
Rates pursuant to Section 302 of the Federal Power Act. The proposed 
changes to depreciation rates are for accounting purposes only.
    WPSC requests authorization to implement accelerated depreciation 
for its ownership share of the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant, effective 
February 21, 1997. WPSC also requests authorization to implement 
depreciation rate changes for certain jointly-owned, non-nuclear 
facilities, effective January 1, 1997. WPSC states that these 
depreciation rates have been authorized by the Wisconsin Public Service 
Commission for purposes of retail ratemaking.
    WPSC further states that it is asking the Commission's Chief 
Accountant for authorization to defer recovery of the wholesale portion 
of the accelerated depreciation for the nuclear plant by recording the 
increased wholesale depreciation as a regulatory asset in Account No. 
182.
