Southern Company Services, Inc., et al., 87 FERC para. 61,214 (1999) (Southern). Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company (LG&E and Kentucky Utilities), LG&E Energy Marketing Inc., LG&E Capital Corp., LG&E Westmoreland Renssalaer, and Western Kentucky Energy Corp. filed a late request for rehearing. In the absence of Commission action within 30 days, the requests for rehearing would be deemed denied. 18 CFR Sec. 385.713. In order to allow additional time for consideration of the matters raised, rehearing of the order is hereby granted for the limited purpose of further consideration. In addition, Virginia Power, Engage Energy, CCEM, EPSA, EEI, Industrial Customers, LG&E and Kentucky Utilities filed motions for late intervention. The Southern order was an exception to the Commission's general practice of not permitting late interventions for the purpose of filing requests for rehearing; the order delayed the effectiveness of the new reporting requirements announced therein pending Commission action on the requests for rehearing of that order and the order also stated that the Commission would entertain late motions to intervene in this proceeding for the purpose of filing requests for rehearing. In view of the aforementioned exception to the Commission's general practice, no undue prejudice or delay would result from granting the late interventions. Accordingly, we grant the motions for late intervention for good cause shown. We will also make an exception to the Commission's general practice of not allowing answers to requests for rehearing. Accordingly, we will allow parties to file answers to the requests for rehearing, and we will entertain late motions to intervene from other interested persons for the purpose of filing answers to the requests for rehearing. Such answers and late motions to intervene should be filed on or before 30 days from the date of this order. By the Commission. David P. Boergers, Secretary.
