          - [Docket No. EL00-68-000]

                    Take notice that on April 11, 2000, the City of Harrisonville, Missouri and the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission on behalf of its member cities El Dorado Springs, Odessa, and Rich Hill, Missouri, filed a complaint against UtiliCorp United Inc. d/b/a Missouri Public Service (MPS). The complaint asserts that MPS has recovered certain impermissible purchased power expenses through MPS's fuel adjustment clause (FAC), in violation of the filed rate and the Commission's fuel clause regulations, 18 CFR 35.14. The complaint requests that the Commission: (1) Initiate an audit and investigation of MPS's application of the fuel adjustment clause, (2) by issuing a notice of rate examination and/or order to show cause under 18 CFR 385.209, require MPS to bear the burden of demonstrating in that audit and investigation that it has not included any improper energy purchase costs in its FAC billings from at least 1997 to date, and (3) require MPS to provide refunds (with interest) as appropriate to reflect correct application of the FAC,                     *i.e.,*                     elimination of all improper purchased energy costs, with respect to all relevant periods. The complainants also request consolidation of this proceeding with the complaint in Docket No. EL00-43-000.

All such motions or  protests must be  filed on or before May 1,  2000. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining  the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make  protestants parties to                           ( print page 20960)                        the proceeding.
