for rehearing of the Commission's order issued in this proceeding. 
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.
