40. The Montana Power Company

[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.
