accepted by YTID. In accordance with the transfer agreement between 
American Energy, L.L.C. and YTID, American Energy, L.L.C. will acquire 
the project license, subject to Commission approval, and continue with 
the development of the project, for which construction was commenced on 
May 18, 2001 by fabrication of the project generating equipment.
