NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) B.V.;

Notice of Amended Application of

NRGenerating Holdings (No. 4) B.V. for

Expedited New Determination of

Exempt Wholesale Generator Status

April 2, 1997.

On March 31, 1997, NRGenerating

Holdings (No. 4) B.V. (‘‘Applicant’’)

applied for a new determination that it

will be an ‘‘exempt wholesale

generator’’ (‘‘EWG’’) within the meaning

of Section 32(a)(1) of PUHCA (the

‘‘Application’’). On April 2, 1997,

Applicant amended (the ‘‘Amended

Application’’) its initial application to

submit additional information. As stated

in the Application and the Amended

Application, Applicant has joined a

consortium which intends, by April 17,

1997, to submit a bid to purchase all of

the shares and assets of Loy Yang Power

Corporation Ltd. (‘‘Loy Yang A’’),

currently wholly-owned by the State of

Victoria, Australia. Loy Yang A owns an

electric generating facility (the

‘‘Facility’’) and an adjacent coal mine

located in Victoria, Australia. Loy Yang

A would also serve as the primary

operator of the Facility, although it will

subcontract or assign certain aspects of

its responsibilities as operator to

affiliates or subsidiaries of various

consortium members. If the

consortium’s bid is successful,

Applicant, through one or more

affiliates, will become an owner and

operator of the Facility.

Any person desiring to be heard

concerning the application for exempt

wholesale generator status should file a

motion to intervene or comments with

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance

with Rules 211 and 214 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR

385.214). The Commission will limit its

consideration of comments to those that

concern the adequacy or accuracy of the

application. All such motions and

comments should be filed on or before

April 14, 1997, and must be served on

the Applicant. Any person wishing to

become a party must file a motion to

intervene. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection.

NRGenerating Holdings (No. 3) B.V.;

Notice of Application For Expedited

New Determination of Exempt

Wholesale Generator Status

April 2, 1997.

On April 2, 1997, NRGenerating

Holdings (No. 3) B.V. (‘‘Applicant’’)

applied for a new determination that it

will be an ‘‘exempt wholesale

generator’’ within the meaning of

Section 32(a)(1) of PUHCA. An affiliate

of Applicant (NRGenerating Holdings

(No. 4) B.V.) has joined with others in

forming a new consortium entitled

‘‘Horizon Energy Partnership,’’ which

intends, by April 17, 1997, to submit a

bid as an unincorporated joint venture

to purchase all of the shares and assets

of Loy Yang Power Corporation Ltd.

(‘‘Loy Yang A’’), currently whollyowned by the State of Victoria,

Australia. Loy Yang A owns an electric

generating facility (the ‘‘Facility’’), as

well as certain other assets. Under

Horizon’s proposal, Loy Yang A will

continue to serve as the operator of the

Facility. But certain aspects of the

operation and maintenance of the Loy

Yang A Power Station would be

subcontracted to a joint venture

company to be owned in part by

Applicant. Thus, if Horizon’s bid is

successful, Applicant, indirectly

through an affiliate, will become an

operator of the Facility.

Any person desiring to be heard

concerning the application for exempt

wholesale generator status should file a

motion to intervene or comment with

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance

with Rules 211 and 214 of the

Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice

of Tariff Filing

April 2, 1997.

Take notice that on March 28, 1997,

Overthrust Pipeline Company

(Overthrust) tendered for filing and

acceptance tariff sheets to Original

Volume No. 1 and First Revised Volume

No. 1–A of its FERC Gas Tariff to

implement revised base rates, to be

effective May 1, 1997. This filing is a

general rate case under Section 4(e) of

the Natural Gas Act and is consistent

with the terms of Overthrust’s last

settlement in Docket No. RP94–104.

Overthrust tendered for filing and

acceptance the following tariff sheets to

its FERC Gas Tariff:

Original Volume No. 1

Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 6

First Revised Volume No. 1–A

Second Revised Sheet No. 4

Overthrust states that the rates it has

proposed are based on the overall cost

of service for the base period consisting

of the twelve months ended December

31, 1996, adjusted for known and

measurable changes through September

30, 1997, which justifies an increase in

Overthrust’s jurisdictional

transportation revenues of

approximately $6.0 million over

Overthrust’s currently effective rates

approved by Commission order dated

October 24, 1994, in Docket No. RP94–

104.

Overthrust states that the increase in

jurisdictional rates reflected in its filing

is necessary to permit Overthrust the

opportunity to recover its revenue

requirement. Overthrust requests an

effective date of May 1, 1997, for the

tendered tariff sheets.

Overthrust further states that a copy

of this filing has been served upon

Overthrust’s jurisdictional customers

and the Wyoming Public Service

Commission.
