[Docket Nos. ER00-531-000 and EC99-36-001]

    Take Notice that, on November 4, 1999, The Montana Power Company 
(Montana Power) and PP&L Montana, LLC (PPLM) (together, the Applicants) 
hereby jointly supplement, under Sections 203 and 205 of the Federal 
Power Act, their Joint Application for Approval of Disposition Of 
Jurisdictional Facilities and Approval of Related Agreements filed on 
February 11, 1999 (February 11th Application) and approved by the 
Commission on June 22, 1999. The Applicants state that since obtaining 
Commission authorization to consummate the divestiture transaction they 
have agreed to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) to provide that 
the Idaho Exchange Agreement and the Bonneville Power Administration 
(BPA) Exchange Agreement will not be transferred to PPLM as part of the 
transaction. The Applicants further state that the instant filing makes 
no changes to the February 11th Application which would present new 
issues regarding the transaction's effect on market power, rates or 
regulation. The Applicants request such additional authorization under 
Section 203 as the Commission may deem necessary with regard to the 
non-transfer of the BPA Exchange Agreement and the Idaho Exchange 
Agreement.
    The Applicants state that the primary purpose of the instant filing 
is to ensure that, along with the authorized asset transfer, the 
appropriate rate schedules are assigned to PPLM and that, where needed, 
agency agreements are effective as of the anticipated closing date. 
PPLM requests that the Commission assign rate schedule designations for 
certain agreements that will be assigned to PPLM, as provided for under 
the terms of the APA, and delete certain other rate schedule 
designations that will not be assigned to PPLM as a result of Montana 
Power's retention of certain assets. In addition, Montana Power 
supplements its rate schedules for the Pacific Northwest Coordination 
Agreement and the Idaho Exchange Agreement to include agency agreements 
pursuant to which PPLM will act as agent for Montana Power for certain 
purposes under each of these agreements. Montana Power also files to 
cancel the BPA Exchange Agreement which was terminated upon the mutual 
agreement of BPA and Montana Power, the only two parties to the 
agreement, in conjunction with the divestiture transaction. Applicants 
request that the Commission act expeditiously on their requests made in 
the instant filing and grant waivers as appropriate so that the 
transaction may be closed in November as scheduled.
    Comment date: November 24, 1999, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
