Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. AC03-46-000, et al.]


First Energy, et al.; Electric Rate and Corporate Filings

July 9, 2003.
    The following filings have been made with the Commission. The 
filings are listed in ascending order within each docket 
classification.

1. First Energy

[Docket No. AC03-46-000]

    Take notice that on June 18, 2003, the Lake County, Ohio Auditor 
and the Lake County, Ohio Board of Revision (Auditor and Board of 
Revision) submitted a request for a ruling on the appropriate 
accounting for the reactor building complex at First Energy's Perry 
Plant. The Auditor and Board of Revision contend that the majority of 
the costs of the reactor building complex should have been classified 
to 18 CFR part 101, Account 321, Structures and Improvements, and not 
to 18 CFR part 101, Account 322, Reactor Plant Equipment. The Auditor 
and the Board of Revision explain that classification to the former 
account would result in the costs being taxed as real property by Lake 
County, while classification to the latter account would result in the 
costs being taxed as personal property by the State of Ohio.
