The Commission additionally established a deadline for May 29, 2009, for submission of written comments. On May 11, 2009, counsel for Mittal USA filed a request for an extension of time to submit additional information regarding the operations of ArcelorMittal. The Commission has found good cause to extend this deadline from May 14, 2009 to May 18, 2009. Because the Commission has extended the deadline for submission of new information into the record, the Commission is also extending the deadline for submission of written comments from May 29, 2009 to June 1, 2009. Except for the due dates, all restrictions concerning these submissions specified in the May 4, 2009 notice remain applicable.

Illinois Power Company and Dynegy Midwest Generation Notice is hereby given that on April 27, 2009, the United States lodged Proposed Consent Decree Modifications in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in the matter captioned United States et al. v. Illinois Power Company and Dynegy Midwest Generation, Inc. (Civil Action No. 99–833–MJR).

The proposed modifications affect Section I of Appendix A, Mitigation project Requirements, under which DMG is required to complete installation of Advanced Truck Stop Electrification (‘‘ATSE’’), preferably at State of Illinois-owned rest areas along Illinois interstate highways in the St. Louis Metro-East area. In accordance with this requirement, in 2006, DMG arranged for the development of 81 electrification units at one facility in East St. Louis, spending approximately $959,293 of the $1.5 million required project dollars. Thereafter, DMG encountered difficulties implementing a second ATSE project site and, in December, 2007, the Court extended the deadline for completion of the ATSE project for one year (i.e., until December 31, 2008) in recognition of the difficulties in securing a second truck stop location. By July, 2008, the Parties concluded that, despite diligent efforts, DMG was unable to complete the ATSE project, and thereafter agreed to seek modification of the Consent Decree to provide for an alternative environmental mitigation project to spend the balance of the project dollars. To this end, the Parties have agreed to two related modifications to the Consent Decree. First, the Parties have agreed that DMG may have until May 31, 2011 to complete an approved mitigation project with the remaining $540,707. Second, the Parties have agreed to require DMG to spend these funds to retrofit dieselpowered, in-service, school bus and municipal vehicles with technology to reduce emissions of PM, VOC and/or NOX. This work will be facilitated by Illinois EPA, through that agency’s ‘‘Illinois Clean School Bus Program’’ or the ‘‘Illinois Clean Diesel Grant Program,’’ and will be aimed at eligible fleets in southwestern Illinois. DMG’s Baldwin Power Station is located in Randolph County, and the intent of the Parties is to retrofit fleets to reduce emissions as near to the plant as possible.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed Modifications of the Consent Decree 
Entered in United States et al. v. Illinois Power Company and Dynegy

accordance with this requirement, in 2006, DMG arranged for the 
development of 81 electrification units at one facility in East St. 
Louis, spending approximately $959,293 of the $1.5 million required 
project dollars. Thereafter, DMG encountered difficulties implementing 
a second ATSE project site and, in December, 2007, the Court extended 
the deadline for completion of the ATSE project for one year (i.e.,
