1995 and filed with the Commission by Iowa-Illinois (Transmission
Service Agreement dated December 16, 1994 with Louis Dreyfus Electric
Power Inc.)
MidAmerican states that it is cancelling Rate Schedule FERC Nos.
20, 50, 68 and 46, as described above, because they consist of
Interconnection Agreements entered into by MidAmerican's predecessors
by merger who were the only parties to such agreements. MidAmerican
further states that it is cancelling Rate Schedule FERC No. 59, as
described above, because it consists of a power sales agreement between
MidAmerican's predecessors by merger who were the only parties to such
agreement and the agreement expired on October 31, 1988 by its own
terms. MidAmerican also states that it is cancelling Rate Schedule FERC
Nos. 82 and 65 through 71, as described above, because they consist of
Transmission Service Agreements entered into by MidAmerican's
predecessors with power marketers and in accordance with the terms of
such agreements they terminated on the effective date of MidAmerican's
transmission tariffs accepted by the Commission in Docket No. ER95-188-
000 which effective date was July 1, 1995.
MidAmerican requests an effective date and time of July 1, 1995 at
12.01 a.m. for the cancellation of each of the above-described rate
schedules except Rate Schedule FERC No. 59 which it requests to be
cancelled effective on October 31, 1988. MidAmerican states that good
cause exists to grant these retroactive cancellation dates because
MidAmerican's predecessors were either the only parties to the rate
schedules or the other parties to the agreements have agreed to the
termination of such agreements as part of the agreement.

Corporation, Enron Power Marketing, Inc., AES Power Inc., Citizens
