Exhibit H
[FORM OF LETTER TO STATE COMMISSIONS]
April , 2001
Dear _______________:
In accordance with Rule 53(a)(4) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, enclosed is a copy of the Application or Declaration on Form U-1 and
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 in SEC File No. 70-9729 filed by American Electric Power
Company, Inc. ("AEP") AEP is the parent of [ name of operating company ] . This
Application seeks authorization for AEP to issue long-term debt. Under this
Rule, a copy of each filing should have been delivered to you at the same time
as it was sent to the SEC. The Rule does not require that you take any action.
The SEC has already completed its review of the Application, as amended, insofar
as the Application relates to matters other than the acquisition of exempt
wholesale generators (EWGs) or foreign utility companies (FUCOs). The SEC is
prepared to issue an order in the near future which will reserve jurisdiction
over the Application's request to use proceeds in approved financings to invest
in EWGs and FUCOs.
AEP does not seek in the Application any increase in the amount it is permitted
to invest in EWGs and FUCOs, rather AEP seeks to add the issuance of long-term
debt to the existing alternatives it has available to finance such investments.
If you have any questions regarding the Application, please contact the
undersigned [ name and phone number of state contact ] or Thomas G. Berkemeyer,
614-223-1648, by April 30.
Very truly yours,
