PDI New England, Inc.; Notice of Amended Application for 
Commission Determination of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status

April 26, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 23, 1999, WPS New England Generation, 
Inc., A Wisconsin corporation with its headquarters at 677 Baeten Road, 
Green Bay, WI 54304, filed with the Federal Energy Regulation 
Commission an amendment to its application for determination of exempt 
wholesale generator status pursuant to part 365 of the Commission's 
regulations.
    PDI New England, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPS Power 
Development, Inc., which in turn is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary 
of WPS Resources Corporation, headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 
WPS Resources Corporation is an exempt public utility holding company. 
Its subsidiaries include Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, an 
electric and natural gas public utility serving portions of 
northeastern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. PDI New 
England, Inc. will be taking title to and operating certain assets 
located in Maine being divested by Maine Public Service Company (MPS). 
These assets include generating facilities with total capacity of 
approximately 36 MW and related assets located in northern Maine, and a 
3.3455% interest in the Wyman No. 4 Unit, a generating facility in 
southern Maine.
    The amendment to the application notes that the Maine Public 
Utilities Commission, by Order of April 5, 1999 in Docket 98-584, has 
determined that allowing PDI New England, Inc. to acquire the 
facilities to be transferred will benefit consumers, is in the public 
interest, and does not violate State law.
    Any person desiring to be heard concerning the amended applicant 
for exempt wholesale generator status should file a motion to intervene 
or comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 
385.214). The Commission will limit its consideration of comments to 
those that concern the adequacy or accuracy of the amended application. 
All such motions and comments should be filed on or before May 3, 1999, 
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 or on the internet at http://
