Electric Company, The Narragansett Electric Company, New England 
Electric Transmission Corporation, New England Hydro-Transmission 
Corporation, New England Hydro-Transmission Electric Company, Inc., and 
AllEnergy Marketing Company, L.L.C.) (collectively, the NEES 
Companies), Montaup Electric Company and its affiliates holding 
jurisdictional assets (Blackstone Valley Electric Company, Eastern 
Edison Company (Eastern Edison), Newport Electric Corporation) 
(collectively, the ``EUA Companies''), and Research Drive LLC submitted 
a Supplement to their Application in the above referenced docket. The 
proceeding in the above-referenced docket seeks the Commission's 
approval and related authorizations to effectuate the merger involving 
New England Electric System (NEES), the parent company of the NEES 
Companies, and Eastern Utilities Associates (EUA), the parent company 
of the EUA Companies (Merger).
    The Supplement explains that currently 100% of the common stock of 
Montaup is held by Eastern Edison, which in turn is wholly owned by 
EUA. Independent of and prior to the closing of the Merger, Eastern 
Edison will transfer all of the common stock of Montaup to EUA so that 
EUA will become the direct parent of Montaup. The Supplement states 
that this independent internal corporate restructuring of Montaup's 
parent companies has no impact on the Merger, but is being filed to 
make certain that the discussion of Montaup's corporate structure in 
the original Application remains accurate.
    In addition, the Supplement states that to the extent the 
Commission determines that this internal corporate restructuring of 
Montaup's parent companies qualifies as a disposition of control of a 
jurisdictional entity that requires Commission approval under Section 
203 of the FPA, the Applicants request such approval.
    Finally, the Applicants included for filing copies of the following 
material that the Applicants request be made part of Exhibit G to the 
Application: Application of Montaup Electric Company and New England
