Rodgers Freeway, P.O. Box 660164, Dallas, Texas, 75266, a nonutility 
subsidiary company of Central and South West Corporation (``CSW''), a

    The order provides that the charges for services to nonassociates 
are negotiated and that CSWS anticipates that a substantial portion of 
the services will be priced on a time and materials basis. CSWS intends 
to price the services to result in an after-tax profit margin of 15%. 
Finally, the Order provides that profits or losses from the services to 
non-associates would be accounted for in accordance with requirements 
of the Uniform System of Accounts for service companies engaged in 
business with non-associate companies.
    CSWS now requests an extension of the authorization contained in 
the Order through December 31, 2002.

pursuant to delegated authority.
