("American") and AEP Energy Services, Inc. ("AEPES") hereby amends its Application or Declaration on Form U-1 in File No. 70-8307; 1. By amending and restating ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS as follows: "A. Background American Electric Power Company, Inc. ('American') owns all of the common stock of three non-utility subsidiaries, AEP Resources, Inc. ('Resources'), AEP Investments, Inc. ('Investments') and AEP Energy Services, Inc. ('AEPES'). In accordance with its authorizations (HCAR Nos. 25905, 25984 and 26200, dated October 8, 1993, February 4, 1994 and December 22, 1994, respectively), Resources is involved in preliminary development activities related to exempt wholesale generators ('EWG'), foreign utility companies ('FUCO'), qualifying cogeneration facilities and small power production facilities as defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and the rules thereunder ('QF') and other projects relating to the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power (collectively 'Power Projects'). In accordance with its authorizations in File No. 70-7886 (HCAR Nos. 25424 and 25667, dated December 11, 1991 and November 2, 1992, respectively), Investments has invested in the development of electronic light bulb technology. In File No. 70-8489, Investments has requested authority (i) to conduct preliminary development activities related to energy management, demand-side management and other businesses functionally related to American's electric utility business, but not related to Power Projects for which Resources may conduct such activities and (ii) to make two additional investments. The Commission by its Order dated April 21, 1982 (HCAR No. 22468) (the '1982 Order') authorized AEP's organization of AEPES, the acquisition of capital stock and AEPES's consulting activities. Pursuant to the 1982 Order, the Commission also authorized American Electric Power Service Corporation to provide services to AEPES in accordance with Section 13 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the 'Act') and Rules 90 and 91 thereunder under the terms of a Service Agreement which also extended to the sale and licensing of intellectual property. By Orders dated March 28, 1983 (HCAR No. 22895), June 20, 1983 (HCAR No. 22982) and September 21, 1983 (HCAR No. 23066) (the '1983 Orders'), the Commission also authorized the operating public utility company subsidiaries of AEP to enter into arrangements with AEPES. Pursuant to the 1982 Order, AEPES was authorized to engage in the business of selling management, technical and training expertise in the open, competitive market to non-affiliated entities. The 1982 and 1983 Orders also authorized AEPES to sell or otherwise dispose of intellectual property owned and/or developed by various AEP System companies. By Order, dated March 30, 1994 (HCAR No. 26014) (the '1994 Order'), the Commission authorized AEPES to engage in preliminary project development activities and authorized AEP, through December 31, 1995, to invest an additional $5,000,000 in AEPES. Pursuant to these authorizations, AEPES has provided a variety of services to non-affiliated utilities, industries and other organizations in the United States and abroad. Over the past several years, a large portion of its revenues were derived from billings to the U.S. Agency for International Development, in connection with services provided to the rural electrification program for the Water and Power Development Authority in Pakistan. In general, AEPES has provided engineering and design services, generally consisting of consultation services, technical assistance and training programs. Several specific areas of services rendered include substation engineering, design and maintenance; testing and evaluation of operating and maintenance practices; aerial lift testing for bucket trucks and consultation services related to transmission lines and over voltage studies. Over the past several years, AEPES has devoted a significant amount of time to its development of Flash Fill, a product designed to utilize fly ash. Flash Fill is typically used as a fast-setting backfill in street and underground utility repair. Attached as Schedule A to this Application is a summary of the types of projects currently under consideration by AEPES. B. Restatement and Amendment of Authority (1) Power Project Services AEPES proposes to render, and continue to render, project development, engineering, design, construction and construction management, operating, fuel management, maintenance and power plant overhaul, and other similar kinds of managerial and technical services, to both affiliated and non-affiliated Power Project entities. No associate company of AEPES (except an AEPES subsidiary as discussed below) will provide such services to an EWG or FUCO. AEPES will not undertake any of the foregoing activities without obtaining the approval of the Commission in a separate proceeding, if, as a result thereof, AEPES would be or become a 'public utility company', as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the Act. All services rendered by AEPES to non-affiliates will continue to be based upon the fair market value thereof and will be subject to such other terms, conditions and standards of performance as are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the kind and scope of services involved, the duration of the contract, the levels of warranties and indemnities that may be negotiated, and other factors that are unique to each transaction. Similarly, AEPES proposes to provide such services and sell goods to any associate Power Project entity that is an EWG, FUCO, or QF at fair market prices, and requests an exemption pursuant to Section 13(b) from the requirements of Rules 90 and 91 as applicable to such transaction in any case in which any one or more of the following circumstances shall obtain: (a) Such Power Project entity is a FUCO, or is an EWG which derives no part of its income, directly or indirectly, from the generation, transmission, or distribution of electric energy for sale within the United States; or (b) Such Power Project entity is an EWG which sells electricity at market-based rates which have been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ('FERC') or the appropriate state public utility commission, provided that the purchaser of such electricity is not an associate company of AEPES within the American Electric Power System. (c) Such Power Project entity is a QF that sells electricity exclusively (i) at rates negotiated at arms'- length to one or more industrial or commercial customers purchasing such electricity for their own use and not for resale, and/or (ii) to an electric utility company, other than any associate company of AEPES within the American Electric Power System, at the purchaser's 'avoided cost' as determined in accordance with the regulations under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978; or (d) Such Power Project entity is an EWG or QF that sells electricity at rates based upon its cost of service, as approved by FERC or any state public utility commission having jurisdiction, provided that the purchaser of such electricity is not an associate company of AEPES within the American Electric Power System. American and AEPES acknowledge that the Commission's authorization herein for AEPES to sell services or goods at prices that are not based on cost (as determined in accordance with Rules 90 and 91) to any such Power Project entity shall not be binding upon FERC or any state public utility commission having jurisdiction over the rates charged by any such Power Project entity, and represent and agree that they will not assert or take any position to the contrary in any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the determination of rates that may be charged by any such associate Power Project entity. Further, AEPES agrees that it will not sell any goods or services to any associate Power Project entity which, in turn, sells such goods or services, directly or indirectly, to any other associate Power Project entity which does not fall within any of the preceding enumerated categories, except pursuant to the requirements of the Commission's rules and regulations under Section 13(b) or an exemption therefrom obtained in a separate filing. The final sentence of Section 13(b) permits the Commission to exempt certain categories of transactions otherwise falling within the scope of Section 13(b) from the cost requirement if any such transactions are with any associate company which does not derive, directly or indirectly, any material part of its income from sources within the United States, or involve 'special or unusual circumstances'. A FUCO or foreign EWG clearly falls within the first category. As to the latter category, AEPES submits that there is an adequate basis for the Commission to find that 'special or unusual circumstances' exist when AEPES renders services or sells goods to an associate Power Project entity if the entity is engaged in selling electricity at negotiated prices or rates that are determined wholly without reference to the project's cost of service, at prices determined on the basis of arms'-length negotiations with unaffiliated co-investors, and/or under circumstances where it is otherwise impracticable to determine cost. (See HCAR No. 125, dated March 10, 1936, in which the Commission adopted the predecessors of Rules 80 through 92, including exceptions from the cost rule intended for cases in which it is 'impracticable to determine cost'.) In this regard, the Commission has, in the past, recognized that these factors may provide an appropriate basis for exempting transactions from the 'cost' rules under Section 13(b). (See New England Electric System, et al., HCAR No. 22309, December 9, 1981). In most cases, AEPES believes that it will be impracticable to determine 'cost' in connection with providing operating, construction and other similar Power Project services. In order to be competitive with other providers of such services in the marketplace, as well as responsive to the requirements of project lenders and power purchasers, among others, the terms and conditions of many of the services that AEPES anticipates it will provide, such as power plant operations and maintenance and construction services, will typically include warranties on equipment and workmanship, minimum performance guarantees, or guaranteed completion dates, backed by contract price retention provisions, liquidated damages or the potential obligation to pay rebates, as well as broad indemnification terms. Terms such as these are rarely if ever provided by 'cost'-based subsidiary service companies or operating utility subsidiaries in a holding company system in connection with routine intrasystem service or sales transactions. Such performance-based terms expose the service provider to substantial, potential, economic risks, for which it is reasonable to expect compensation in the form of performance bonuses, success fees or the like. Moreover, it would be difficult if not impossible to assign a 'cost' to such terms for purposes of Rules 90 and 91. For the foregoing reasons, AEPES submits that it is not necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors or consumers that the charge for services or goods provided by AEPES to associate Power Projects be limited to 'cost' in any of the circumstances listed above. AEPES will provide services and goods to associate Power Project entities that do not satisfy any of the above circumstances at 'cost' in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Act and Rules 90 and 91. AEPES will not acquire an interest in a Power Project. If AEPES is entitled to receive an interest in a Power Project as a result of services that it renders, or goods that it sells, to the Project, it will sell the interest to Resources at its fair market value. The fair market value could include the assumption by Resources of certain performance guaranties made by AEPES to the Power Project. (2) Energy Management and Demand-Side Management Services AEPES additionally requests authorization to provide energy management and demand-side management services based upon the fair market value thereof. Such services include marketing, development, engineering, construction and construction management, installation, ownership, operation, sale, service, financing and leasing of energy management or demand-side management equipment. AEPES also may provide energy management and demand-side management services to associated companies at cost. AEPES proposes to provide these services to customers located in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, the states in which the American Electric Power System currently sells electricity at retail, and limited areas outside of these states (the 'Region'). (The limited areas would consist of the service territories of utilities to which the American Electric Power System expects to sell, and from which it expects to purchase, large amounts of economy and emergency power. These utilities include: Carolina Power & Light Company, Central Illinois Public Service Company, Commonwealth Edison Company, Dayton Power and Light Company, Duke Power Company, Duquesne Light Company, Illinois Power Company, Indianapolis Power & Light Company, Kentucky Utilities Company, Louisville Gas and Electric Company, Northern Indiana Public Service Company, Ohio Edison Company, Tennessee Valley Authority and Virginia Electric and Power Company, and the utilities of the Allegheny Power, Centerior, Cinergy and Michigan Electric Co- ordinated Systems.) AEPES also would provide limited services outside the Region, with the restriction that revenues attributable to customers outside of the Region do not exceed revenues attributable to customers inside of the Region. (3) Other Consulting Services AEPES also will continue to offer its management, technical, operating and training expertise, as well as its technical and procedural resources, to non-affiliated entities that are not Power Projects. The price of all such services will be based upon their fair market value. (4) Services to Resources and Investments AEPES furthermore requests authorization in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Act and Rules 90 and 91 thereunder to provide services at cost to Resources and Investments and any subsidiary of either that is not a Power Project entity. AEPES would enter into a Service Agreement in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto with Resources, Investments and these subsidiaries. American Electric Power Service Corporation ('AEPSC') currently provides all services to Resources and Investments. It is contemplated that during the next two years AEPSC's role in providing services will diminish and the function of AEPES will increase. After the two year period, however, AEPSC will continue to provide Administrative Services (as defined below) to Resources and Investments and these subsidiaries. C. Service Agreements with AEPES Under authorization contained in the 1982 and 1983 Orders, AEPES has entered into Service Agreements with AEPSC and the operating company subsidiaries of American (the 'Operating Subsidiaries') pursuant to which personnel and other resources of AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries may be made available to AEPES, upon request, to support AEPES in connection with its authorized activities. The Operating Subsidiaries provide, account for and bill their services to AEPES, utilizing a work order system, on a full cost reimbursement basis in accordance with Rules 90 and 91 under the Act. The reimbursed cost of services identified through the work order system include all direct charges and a prorated share of other related costs. The Service Agreements provide that AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries make warranties of due care and compliance with applicable laws to AEPES with respect to the performance of the services requested, but failure to meet these obligations will not subject them to any claim or liability, other than to reperform the work at cost in accordance with the work order. Furthermore, AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries are indemnified by AEPES against liabilities to or claims of third parties arising out of the performance of work performed on behalf of AEPES for non-affiliate companies. It is proposed that the Service Agreements be amended to provide that the indemnity will apply for work performed on behalf of AEPES for any company, not only non-affiliate companies. The agreements also extend to the resale or licensing of property protected by the copyright, patent or trademark laws. If AEPES sells or licenses to non-affiliates any such property developed by the Operating Subsidiaries for their own use, such subsidiaries shall receive a percentage of net profits and AEPES will receive a commission. The Order dated March 31, 1994 (HCAR No. 26014) (the '1994 Order') provided that should AEPES use any intellectual property developed by AEPSC or any other American Electric Power System company, AEPES will pay the following amounts to that American Electric Power System company for any such intellectual property actually sold or licensed by AEPES: (1) 70% of the revenues from the intellectual property until the American Electric Power System company that developed the intellectual property recovers its programming and development costs; and (2) 20% of such revenues thereafter. It is proposed that the Service Agreements be amended to add this provision. Such property, if developed by AEPES, will be made available to all associate companies in the AEP System without charge, except for all expenses incurred. Under the existing Service Agreements with the Operating Subsidiaries, each Operating Subsidiary agrees to make available personnel or resources requested by AEPES, if it has or can have available such personnel or resources. Each Operating Subsidiary has sole discretion in determining the availability of its personnel and resources. Under the existing Service Agreement with AEPSC, AEPSC must provide certain basic services, upon request, to AEPES. It is proposed that the Service Agreement with AEPSC be amended to provide that AEPSC is not required to provide any personnel or resources to AEPES, if in the sole judgment of AEPSC the personnel or resources are not available. Finally, in order to comply with Rules 53(a)(3) and 87, the Service Agreements will contain a provision that will enable AEPES to identify on a work order basis services and other resources provided by AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries to AEPES in connection with services and goods provided by AEPES to EWGs and FUCOs in which American directly or indirectly holds an interest. Among other things, this will enable American to monitor the overall usage of employees of the Operating Subsidiaries and AEPSC in connection with such services. At present, AEPES has no employees. It uses the personnel and resources of AEPSC and of the Operating Subsidiaries to perform its limited business. Its business is expected to increase during the next two years. As a result, AEPES expects to hire permanent employees to perform many of these functions during this two-year period. However, there are certain activities which, by virtue of common ownership, are most cost effectively performed by AEPSC to meet the mutual needs of American and all of its associate companies. Such activities include: (1) external financial reports; (2) tax services; (3) pension and benefit administration; (4) risk management; (5) treasury; (6) corporate finance; and (7) legal services. These activities, as well as other administrative functions, would continue to be performed after such two year period by AEPSC for AEPES (collectively, 'Administrative Services'). In addition, AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries may from time to time provide specific and limited services to AEPES to enable AEPES to perform its authorized businesses. D. Investments in AEPES, Financing Authority and Guaranties Under the 1982 Order, the Commission authorized American to provide up to $1,000,000 of capital to AEPES for the purpose of its start-up and initial operations. In the 1994 Order, the Commission authorized American to make additional investments in AEPES through December 31, 1995, in the amount of $5,000,000 for preliminary development activities associated with its consulting business. In addition, the Commission authorized AEPES to obtain up to $5,000,000 in debt financing from unaffiliated third parties as long as the total of the investments and the debt financing does not $5,000,000. American also was authorized to guarantee the debt financing of AEPES. American and AEPES now request authority to increase the amount that American is authorized to invest in AEPES and the amount of debt of AEPES that American is authorized to guarantee to a total of $51,000,000 (the $1,000,000 authorized the 1982 Order, the $5,000,000 authorized in the 1994 Order, plus an additional $45,000,000). This authority to make investments and incur debt would expire December 31, 1995. The investments by American in AEPES would take the form of acquisitions of common stock, capital contributions, open account advances and/or subordinated loans. Any such open account advances or subordinated loans would bear interest at a rate based on American's cost of funds in effect on the date of issue, but in no case in excess of the prime rate at a bank designated by American. American's cost of funds is represented by its commercial paper rating, which is currently P-2 by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. and F-2 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. Commercial paper notes sold by American have varying maturities not in excess of 270 days after the date of issue, and are sold directly to a dealer in commercial paper at a discount rate not in excess of the annual discount rate prevailing at the time of issuance for commercial paper notes of comparable quality and maturity. As a recent sample, on January 6, 1995, American sold $50,000,000 of commercial paper notes at a discount rate of 6.07%, for a term of 48 days and maturing on February 23, 1995. In addition, AEPES may obtain debt financing from unaffiliated third parties consisting of commercial banks, insurance companies or other institutional investors, as long as the total of all investments by American in AEPES together with any debt financing does not exceed $51,000,000. Such debt financing may require a guarantee by American and will not exceed a term of 10 years or bear a floating interest rate in excess of 115% of the prime rate in effect at the time of issuance. In connection with any debt financing obtained by AEPES, it may be required to pay commitment and other fees not to exceed 25 basis points per annum on the total amount of debt financing. AEPES estimates (a) that up to $40,000,000 (but in any case no more than $45,000,000) of the proposed additional investment by American will be utilized for working capital in connection with rendering Power Project and Other Consulting Services and (b) that up to $10,000,000 (but in any case no more than $20,000,000) of the proposed additional investment by American will be utilized for working capital and costs in connection with Energy Management and Demand-Side Management Services. Working capital in connection with these activities is needed to fund certain ongoing general and administrative costs, including personnel, accounting, general marketing, engineering, legal, financial and training costs, and costs associated with other necessary support functions required in connection with developing and administering its businesses. The availability of working capital will enable AEPES to promptly pay its associate companies for services they agree to provide to AEPES under the Service Agreements, as they are proposed to be amended. The 1994 Order also authorized American to issue guarantees and assumptions of liability on behalf of AEPES to third parties in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000 through December 31, 1995. American and AEPES now seek to increase the maximum amount to $200,000,000. These guarantees may take the form of bid bonds, performance guarantees or direct or indirect guarantees, but not guarantees of debt financing. Such arrangements may be necessary in order for AEPES to satisfy a potential customer that it has the support for its contractual obligations. In no event will the aggregate amount of liability of American in this connection exceed $200,000,000. E. Compliance with Rule 54 AEP Resources International, Limited ("AEPRI"), an indirect subsidiary of American, is an EWG. American, through its subsidiary, AEP Resources, Inc., invested $5,000 in AEPRI. This investment represents less than 1% of $1,304,478,000, the average of the consolidated retained earnings of American reported on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as applicable, for the four consecutive quarters ended September 30, 1994. AEPRI will maintain books and records and make available the books and records required by Rule 53(a)(2). No more than 2% of the employees of the Operating Subsidiaries will, at any one time, directly or indirectly, render services to AEPRI. American will submit a copy of Item 9 and Exhibits G and H of American's Form U5S (commencing with the Form U5S filed for the first calendar year for which American reports any data under Item 9 or Exhibits G and H), to each of the public service commissions having jurisdiction over the retail rates of American's operating utility subsidiaries. No data was filed under Item 9 or Exhibits G or H in American's Form U5S for the calendar year 1993. In addition, (i) neither American nor any subsidiary of American is the subject of any pending bankruptcy or similar proceeding; (ii) American's average consolidated retained earnings for the four most recent quarterly periods ($1,304,478,000) represented a decrease of approximately $28,532,000 (or 2.1%) in the average consolidated retained earnings from the previous four quarterly periods ($1,333,010,000); and (iii) for the year ended December 31, 1993, there were no losses attributable to American's investments in AEPRI. F. Subsidiaries of AEPES AEPES requests authorization to form a subsidiary company under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of rendering authorized services in foreign countries ('AEPES International'). In addition, AEPES or AEPES International may form wholly-owned domestic or foreign subsidiary companies to perform authorized services in their respective jurisdictions. The purpose of forming such subsidiaries would be to comply with applicable local or foreign laws, to limit AEPES and AEPES International's exposure to taxes or for other lawful business purposes. It is proposed that AEPES International and such subsidiaries be authorized to incur long and short term debt on the same terms as AEPES, and that American or AEPES be authorized to guarantee their debt and performance to the same extent as American could guarantee the debt and performance of AEPES." 2. By amending and restating ITEM 3. APPLICABLE STATUTORY PROVISIONS as follows: "Sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10 and 12(b) of, and Rule 45 under, the Act are directly applicable to this Application-Declaration. The sale of goods or services to AEPES at cost by AEPSC and the Operating Subsidiaries or by AEPES to such other American Electric Power System companies is subject to Section 13(b) and Rules 87, 90 and 91 thereunder. In addition, the sale of services directly by AEPES and indirectly by AEPSC or the Operating Subsidiaries to any company that is an EWG or FUCO is subject to Section 32 and Rule 53(a)(3) thereunder or Rule 87, as it is proposed to be amended, as applicable. The final sentence of Section 13(b) is applicable to AEPES's request for an exemption from Section 13(b) and Rules 90 and 91 as applicable to the proposed sale of goods and services by AEPES to associate Power Project entities at prices other than cost." 3. By amending and restating the last two paragraphs of ITEM 5. PROCEDURE as follows: "Applicants agree to file, in addition to certificates of notification required by Rule 24 upon consummation of the transactions described herein, the following: (1) Quarterly, within 60 days after the end of each quarter: (a) a balance sheet and income statement for AEPES; (b) a narrative description of the activities of AEPES during the quarter just ended, organized by business category (power project services, energy management and demand-side management services, other consulting services and services to Resources and Investments) and within each category, a description of new services by type; (c) a listing of any guarantees or assumption of liabilities by American on behalf of AEPES; (d) a description of services obtained from associate companies, specifying the type of service, the number of personnel from each associate company providing services during the quarter and the total dollar value of such services; (e) a description of services provided to associate companies which identifies the recipient company, the service, the charge to the associate and whether the charge was computed at cost, market or pursuant to another method, which method shall be specified; (f) a chart showing, as of the end of such quarterly period, all associate companies of American that are EWGs, FUCOs and QFs, American's direct or indirect investment in each such entity and the aggregate direct and indirect investment by American in all such entities, and American's percentage equity ownership in each such entity together with a statement indicating by category the type of entity or person (i.e., domestic corporation, foreign corporation, foreign government, or natural persons) owning the equity interests in each such entity that are not held directly or indirectly by American; and (g) a description of any Intellectual Property provided to AEPES by AEPSC or any Operating Subsidiary, or provided by AEPES to AEPSC or any Operating Subsidiary, the cost thereof (including the cost of any enhancements) to the company making such Intellectual Property available, and if known, the fair market value thereof.
