ITEM 1:  DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION

E.   Financial Matters

          The following paragraph is hereby deleted:

          "Since this application was filed, rule 58
under the Act has been adopted.  Because of the nature of
the activities in which EPMC proposes to engage, EPMC may
be an "energy related company" for purposes of the rule
and, absent a specific order to the contrary, Entergy's
investment in EPMC made pursuant to this order would
count toward the rule's investment limitation.  Because
of the limited amount of the investments proposed in this
application, EPMC proposes that Entergy's investments in
EPMC that are proposed in this application should be
excluded for purposes of calculating the investment cap
under rule 58."


                       SIGNATURE:

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, the undersigned company has
duly caused this statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
