1. Commonwealth Edison Company

[Docket No. ER01-627-001]

    Take notice that on December 21, 2000, Exelon Corporation (Exelon), 
on behalf of its subsidiaries, Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and 
Exelon Generation, L.L.C. (Exelon Generation), tendered for filing an 
amendment to its December 8, 2000, filing of a form of agreement 
entitled Ancillary and Other Control Area Services Resource Purchase 
Agreement (hereafter the Agreement). Due to an administrative 
oversight, the Agreement references various Schedules which were 
inadvertently omitted in Exelon's December 8, 2000 filing. Per an 
informal request of FERC Staff, ComEd is accordingly submitting with 
this transmittal letter the Agreement, along with the previously 
omitted Schedules referenced in said Agreement.
    FERC Staff has advised ComEd that making this amended filing should 
not affect the effective date of January 1, 2001 requested by ComEd in 
its December 8, 2000 filing in this docket.
    Comment date: January 11, 2001, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.

Services Resource Purchase Agreement (Agreement) between ComEd and

627-000 with the revisions to Schedules 4, 4A and 4G. Per an informal
