Entergy Mississippi, Inc. (70-9757)

    Entergy Mississippi, Inc. (``EM''), 308 Pearl Street, Jackson, 
Mississippi 39201, an electric utility subsidiary of Entergy 
Corporation, a public utility holding company registered under the Act, 
has filed a post effective amendment to an application-declaration 
previously filed under sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10, and 12(d) of the Act 
and rules 44 and 53 under the Act.
    By order dated December 26, 2000 (HCAR No. 27317) (``2000 Order''), 
EM was authorized, among other things, to issue and sell up to $540 
million of EM's first mortgage bonds (``Bonds'') and/or EM's debentures 
(``Debentures'') through December 31, 2003 (``Authorization Period'') 
with fees and commissions associated with the sale of Bonds or 
Debentures not to exceed 2% of the principle amount to be sold. By 
order dated October, 2, 2002 (HCAR No. 27527) (``2002 Order''), EM was 
authorized to increase the amount of fees and commissions associated 
with the sale of Bonds or Debentures to 3.25% of the principle amount 
to be sold.
    EM now proposes to increase the aggregate limit of Bonds and/or 
Debentures it may issue to $740 million through the Authorization 
Period under the same terms and conditions as those granted in the 2000 
Order and the 2002 Order. EM states that the use of proceeds from the 
additional issuance will be used to prefund certain series of near-term 
maturing debt and refund certain series of longer-term maturing debt 
early.

    For the Commission by the Division of Investment Management, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
