[Docket No. EG99-104-000]


PDI Canada, Inc.; Notice of Amended Application for Commission 
Determination of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status

April 26, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 23, 1999, PDI New England, Inc., d/b/a 
WPS New England Generation, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation with its 
headquarters at 677 Baeten Road, Green Bay, WI 54304, filed with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an amendment to its application 
for determination of exempt wholesale generator status pursuant to Part 
365 of the Commission's regulations.
    PDI New England, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPS Power 
Development, Inc., which in turn is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary 
of WPS Resources Corporation, headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 
WPS Resources Corporation is an exempt public utility holding company. 
Its subsidiaries include Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, an 
electric and natural gas public utility serving portions of 
northeastern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. PDI New 
England, Inc. will be taking title to and operating certain assets 
located in Maine being divested by Maine Public Service Company (MPS). 
These assets include generating facilities with total capacity of 
approximately 36 MW and related assets located in northern Maine, and a 
3.3455% interest in the Wyman No. 4 Unit, a generating facility in 
southern Maine.
    The amendment to the application notes that the Maine Public 
Utilities Commission, by Order of April 5, 1999 in Docket 98-584, has 
determined that allowing PDI New England, Inc. to acquire the 
facilities to be transferred will benefit consumers, is in the public 
interest, and does not violate State law.
    Any person desiring to be heard concerning the amended application 
for exempt wholesale generator status should file a motion to intervene 
or comments 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 385.214). The Commission will limit its consideration of comments 
to those that concern the adequacy or accuracy of the amended 
application. All such motions and comments should be filed on or before 
May 3, 1999, 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 
or on the internet at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please 
call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
