- 2 - INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS O&R Clean Air Act Proceeding On May 25, 2000, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") issued notices of violation to Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. ("O&R") and four other companies that have operated coal-fired electric generating facilities in New York State. The notices allege violations of the federal Clean Air Act and the New York State Environmental Conservation Law resulting from the alleged failure of the companies to obtain DEC permits for physical modifications to their generating facilities and to install air pollution control equipment that would have reduced harmful emissions. The notice of violation received by O&R relates to the Lovett Generating Station that it sold in June 1999. O&R is unable to predict whether or not the alleged violations will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operation or liquidity. - 3 - SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
