[Docket No. EC02-87-000]


Wisvest Corporation; Wisvest-Connecticut LLC; PSEG Fossil LLC; 
Notice of Filing

July 9, 2002.
    Take notice that on June 28, 2002, Pursuant to Section 203 of the 
Federal Power Act (``FPA''), 16 U.S.C. 824b (2000), and Part 33 of the 
Commission's regulations thereunder, 18 CFR Part 33, Wisvest 
Corporation (Wisvest or Seller), Wisvest-Connecticut, LLC (Wisvest-
Connecticut) and PSEG Fossil LLC (PSEG Fossil or Buyer) (together, the 
Applicants) filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) for approval to permit Wisvest to transfer and 
PSEG Fossil to acquire 100% of the membership interests Wisvest 
currently holds in Wisvest-Connecticut, a public utility subject to the 
Commission's jurisdiction under the FPA. The proposed transaction will 
result in PSEG Fossil indirectly acquiring control over Wisvest-
Connecticut's two generating stations, a 553 MW coal and oil fired 
generating facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut and a 466 MW oil and 
gas-fired generating facility in New Haven, Connecticut, as well as 
associated jurisdictional facilities, wholesale power sales contracts 
and Wisvest-Connecticut's market-based rate schedule on file with the 
Commission.
    PSEG Fossil is a new market entrant in New England that, together 
with its affiliates, owns only de minimis electric generation in New 
England, all of which is fully committed under long-term power sales 
agreements. The Applicants, therefore, request a shortened notice 
period and expedited Commission approval within 60 days of filing in 
order to achieve closing of the proposed transaction on or before 
October 1, 2002.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing should 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with rules 211 and 214 of the 
Commission's rules of practice and procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining 
the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party must file a motion to intervene. All such motions or protests 
should be filed on or before the comment date, and, to the extent 
applicable, must be served on the applicant and on any other person 
designated on the official service list. This filing is available for 
review at the Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket 
'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance). Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via 
the Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: July 19, 2002.
