supplements to network transmission service agreements with Central 
Montana Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (Central Montana) and Big Horn 
County Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Big Horn) that will enable it to 
recover wholesale stranded costs from such customers. Montana Power 
states that when it acquired its generation resources, it reasonably 
expected to provide wholesale electric service to Central Montana and 
Big Horn for the indefinite future. Montana Power further states that 
as a result of the determination of those customers to obtain 
generation services from alternative suppliers, it is entitled to 
recover stranded costs from them in accordance with FERC Order No. 888.
    Montana Power states that because it sold substantially all of its 
generation resources in December 1999, the revenues-lost methodology 
generally followed by the FERC in stranded cost proceedings is 
inapplicable to calculation of its stranded costs. Montana Power has 
therefore proposed an alternative methodology for calculation of 
stranded costs and has requested a waiver of the Commission's 
regulations to the extent necessary to use that method.
    Montana Power has proposed to make each supplement effective on 
June 23, 2000.
