February 11, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 27, 1998, Consumers Energy Company 
(Consumers), filed an amendment to its original application in this 
proceeding. The amendment seeks an increase of $500 million in 
Consumers' current authorization to issue long-term securities for 
refunding and refinancing purposes. Consumers also requests waiver of 
the Commission's competitive bid/negotiated placement requirements for 
certain securities to be issued pursuant to the authorization requested 
in this docket.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 358.214). All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before February 24, 1998. Protests will 
be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action 
to be taken, but will not serve to make the protestant parties to the 
proceeding. 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.
