Appalachian Power Company (70–5503)

Appalachian Power Company

(‘‘Appalachian’’), 40 Franklin Road,

S.W., Roanoke, Virginia 24011, an

electric utility subsidiary of American

Electric Power Company, Inc., a

registered holding company, has filed a

post-effective amendment to its

application-declaration under sections

9(a), 10 and 12(d) of the Act and rules

44 and 54 under the Act.

By order dated December 10, 1974

(HCAR No. 18703), the Commission

authorized Appalachian, among other

things, to enter into an agreement of sale

(‘‘Agreement’’) with the Industrial

Development Authority of Russell

County, Virginia (‘‘Authority’’),

concerning the financing of pollution

control facilities (‘‘Facilities’’) at

Appalachian’s Glen Lyn and Clinch

River plants. Under the Agreement, the

Authority may issue and sell its

pollution control revenue bonds

(‘‘Revenue Bonds’’) or pollution control

refunding bonds (‘‘Refunding Bonds’’

and, together with Revenue Bonds,

‘‘Bonds’’), in one or more series, and

deposit the proceeds with the trustee

(‘‘Trustee’’) under an indenture

(‘‘Indenture’’) entered into between the

Authority and the Trustee. The Trustee

applies the proceeds to the payment of

the costs of construction of the Facilities

or, in the case of proceeds from the sale

of Refunding Bonds, to the payment of

principal, premium (if any) and/or

interest on Bonds to be refunded.

The same order also authorized

Appalachian to convey an undivided

interest in a portion of the Facilities to

the Authority, and to reacquire that

interest under an installment sales

arrangement (‘‘Sales Agreement’’)

requiring Appalachian to pay as the

purchase price semi-annual installments

in an amount that, together with other

funds held by the Trustee under the

Indenture for that purpose, will enable

the Authority to pay, when due, the

interest and principal on the Bonds. To

date, the Authority has issued and sold

seven series of Bonds in an aggregate

principal amount of $101.74 million of

which $37.0 million presently are

outstanding.

The Authority now intends to issue

and sell its Series H Refunding Bonds in

the aggregate principal amount of $19.5

million, the proceeds of which will be

used to provide for the principal and

interest payments required for the

refunding, at their stated maturity on

November 1, 1998, of the Authority’s

71⁄4% Series F Refunding Bonds.

Appalachian expects that the Series H

Refunding Bonds will be issued under

and secured by the Indenture and a

seventh supplemental indenture, will

bear interest semi-annually at a rate of

interest not exceeding 8% per year and

will mature at a date not more than

thirty years from the date of issuance.

Appalachian proposes to enter into an

amended Sales Agreement in

connection with the Series H Refunding

Bonds under essentially the same terms

and conditions of the original Sales

Agreement. Appalachian may provide

some form of credit enhancement in

connection with the issuance and sale of
