reconsideration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 313(a) of the Federal Power Act \2\ requires an aggrieved 
party to file a request for rehearing within thirty days after the 
issuance of the Commission's order. Because the 30-day deadline for 
requesting rehearing is statutorily based, it cannot be extended and 
Wisconsin Energy's request for rehearing must be rejected as untimely.
