The Application/Declaration filed in this proceeding on April 19, 2002, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     Pursuant to the Commission's Order Authorizing Corporate Reorganization and Financing Transactions; Reservation of Jurisdiction (the "Order"), dated September 7, 2001 (HCAR 27436), on October 1, 2001, Great Plains Energy Incorporated ("GPE") and Kansas City Power & Light Company ("KCPL") consummated an Agreement of Merger and Reorganization (the "Reorganization") that resulted in GPE becoming a holding company over KCPL, Great Plains Power Incorporated and KLT Inc.

     Prior to the Reorganization, KCPL provided to certain of its subsidiaries services such as accounts payable, information technology, investor relations, legal, office space and other general administrative and support services. In their U-1 Application/Declaration seeking authorization for the Reorganization, the applicants stated that KCPL was then in the process of evaluating the most economical and effective manner of providing support services to affiliate companies following the Reorganization, and that KCPL intended to file with the Commission not later than April 30, 2002, an application/declaration seeking authority to create a service company and to implement the final support service structure for the Great Plains Energy system.

1GPE's direct and indirect utility and nonutility subsidiaries are referred to in this Application/Declaration individually as a "Subsidiary" and collectively as "Subsidiaries". A "nonutility Subsidiary" is a Subsidiary which is not a public utility company under Section 2(5) of the Act.

     This Application/Declaration seeks the authorization and approval by the Commission with respect to the provision of intra-system services and goods following the expiration of the Interim Period, pursuant to Section 13 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act") and the Rules thereunder. Specifically, GPE requests that the Commission approve the designation of Great Plains Energy Services Incorporated ("GPES") as a subsidiary service company in accordance with the provisions of Rule 88 under the Act and the Service Agreement (as defined below) and find that GPES is so organized and will conduct its operations so as to meet the requirements of Section 13 of the Act and the Commission's Rules under the Act. GPE also requests authority, to the extent not exempted under Rules 81 and 87, for its subsidiaries to provide certain services and goods among themselves, as more fully described below.

     The Applicants further request, as set out more fully in Item 1.D., below, that the Interim Period in which KCPL and the nonutility Subsidiaries may provide support services on an interim basis, as well as sell goods, to each other and to GPE consistent with current practice (as well as services and goods of a substantially similar nature) be extended to March 31, 2003.

     GPE is a registered holding company under the Act. GPE currently has four direct subsidiaries: KCPL, KLT Inc., Innovative Energy Consultants Inc. and Great Plains Power Incorporated ("GPP"). GPE is proposing in this proceeding to create GPES as a subsidiary service company. These subsidiaries are described in more detail in the following paragraphs. A corporate organization chart of GPE, showing the identity, relationship and classification of the current direct and indirect subsidiaries of GPE, is attached hereto as Exhibit A-3.

     1.   KCPL

     KCPL is the only public utility company in the GPE system, and provides electricity at retail in portions of Kansas and Missouri and at wholesale.

     KCPL has three directly-owned subsidiaries. Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation ("WCNOC") is a nonutility subsidiary which provides operation, maintenance, repair and decommissioning services at cost solely as agent for the owners of Wolf Creek Generating Station. KCPL holds an undivided 47% ownership interest in Wolf Creek Generating Station and holds 47% of the voting securities of WCNOC. Home Service Solutions, Inc., is an intermediate holding company which holds interests in energy-related companies. Kansas City Power & Light Receivables Company is a special purpose entity established to purchase customer accounts receivable from KCPL.

     2.   KLT Inc.

     KLT Inc. is an intermediate holding company. KLT Inc.'s primary subsidiaries engage in energy-related services and natural gas development activities. Certain other subsidiaries hold investments in exempt telecommunications companies or passive investments in affordable housing partnerships or community, economic development and energy-related opportunities.

     3.   Innovative Energy Consultants Inc.

     Innovative Energy Consultants Inc. is an intermediate holding company recently established to acquire interests in energy-related companies.

     4.   Great Plains Power Incorporated

     GPP was established to hold interests in independent power plants ("IPPs"). GPP currently does not hold any interests in IPPs. During the second quarter of 2002, GPE management revised its corporate business strategy. As a result of this revision, management has decided to limit the operations of GPP until market conditions improve, or GPE changes its business strategy.

     It is anticipated that GPES will be incorporated as a Missouri corporation and have a minimal equity capitalization - not more than 1,000 shares with total equity capital of not more than $10,000. It is anticipated that GPES will finance its business through the issuance of debt securities exempted under Rule 52(b) to associate companies or unaffiliated parties, or as otherwise authorized by the Act, Rules and Commission orders.

     1.   GPES

2The Service Agreement between GPES and KCPL must be filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission (the "KCC") to be effective, pursuant to K.S.A. 66-1402. No KCC approval is required for the Service Agreement to be effective; however, the KCC may, after hearing, disapprove the agreement if it finds the agreement is not in the public interest.

          a.   Corporate Services

     Applicants wish to note that no core public utility operations or functions will be initially performed by GPES. There is only one public utility - KCPL - currently in the GPE system, and it is anticipated that no economies would be realized by transferring these functions and related personnel to GPES at this time. Changes to the scope or character of the services to be rendered by GPES shall be done pursuant to the Act and its regulations.

     As compensation for the services to be rendered under the Service Agreements, Clients shall pay to GPES all costs which reasonably can be identified and related to particular services performed by Service Company for or on their behalf. All charges for services shall be distributed among Clients, to the extent possible, based on direct assignment. The amounts remaining after direct assignment shall be allocated among the Clients using the allocation methods set forth in Appendix B of the Service Agreement, Exhibit B-1. Thus, charges for all services provided by GPES to its affiliated utility company and non-utility companies under the Service Agreements will be on an "at cost" basis as determined under Rules 90 and 91 of the Act.

     It is anticipated that GPES will be staffed primarily by transferring personnel from KCPL. GPES's accounting and cost allocation methods and procedures are structured so as to comply with the Commission's standards for service companies in registered holding company systems. GPES's billing system will use the "Uniform System of Accounts for Mutual Service Companies", established by the Commission for holding company systems, as may be adjusted to use the FERC uniform system of accounts.

     The Service Agreement Procedures require all GPES employees, including executives, to keep, within reasonable cost, time records supporting labor charged to separately identifiable goods and services performed for Clients. Employees will record time daily in a minimum of half-hour increments. The employee's supervisor or authorized delegate will review and approve time reports. GPES will use an electronic time entry system for its employees. Time records will be maintained in accordance with record retention requirements set forth in 17 CFR 257, but in any event will be maintained for at least six years. Training sessions regarding time keeping requirements were held with KCPL employees who are expected to be transferred to GPES, and periodic training sessions regarding the Service Agreement procedures, including time keeping, will be held after the establishment of GPES.

     The GPES Audit Services Department will conduct periodic reviews of GPES's business processes and systems to ensure that the services provided are properly documented and charged to the Clients on an appropriate basis.

4The form of Service Request is attached as Exhibit B to Exhibit B-2.

     GPES will pay to KCPL the net book value of the property, pursuant to Rule 90. KCPL has not performed a study to determine the market value of the assets to be transferred. KCPL submits that a market does not exist for the leasehold improvements or capitalized software costs. Further, individually appraising each item of general office equipment to be transferred would be expensive and time-consuming.

5The net book value given is as of January 31, 2002. The actual net book value of the assets to be transferred will be determined as of the actual date of transfer, and will reflect depreciation to that time and any additions or retirements. Applicants state that none of the property proposed to be transferred constitutes "utility assets" as defined by Section 2(18) of the Act. To the extent the property constitutes "goods" of KCPL, the transfer is permitted by Rule 87(b)(4).

6Rule 52(b).

7Section 393.190, RSMo.

     No change in the organization of GPES, the type and character of the companies to be serviced, the methods of allocating cost to Clients, or in the scope or character of the services to be rendered subject to Section 13 of the Act, or any rule, regulation or order thereunder, shall be made unless and until GPES shall first have given the Commission written notice of the proposed change not less than 60 days prior to the proposed effectiveness of any such change. If, upon the receipt of any such notice, the Commission shall notify GPES within the 60-day period that a question exists as to whether the proposed change is consistent with the provisions of Section 13 of the Act, or of any rule, regulation or order thereunder then the proposed change shall not become effective unless and until GPES shall have filed with the Commission an appropriate declaration regarding such proposed change and the Commission shall have permitted such declaration to become effective.

8In certain situations in which KCPL is the predominant user of the leased or licensed items or in the event Missouri Public Service Commission approval of the proposed asset transfer is not obtained before the establishment of GPES, KCPL may remain the lessee and licensee and provide a portion of the leased or licensed items to GPES and other Subsidiaries. See Section C.2.a. of Item 1, below.

     Rule 88(b) provides that "(A) finding by the commission that a subsidiary company of a registered holding company ... is so organized and conducted, or is to be so conducted, as to meet the requirements of Section 13(b) of the Act with respect to reasonable assurance of efficient and economical performance of services or construction or sale of goods for the benefit of associate companies, at cost fairly and equitably allocated among them (or as permitted by [Rule 90]), will be made only pursuant to a declaration filed with the Commission on Form U-13-1, as specified in the instructions for that form, by such company or the persons proposing to organize it." Notwithstanding the foregoing language, the Commission has on at least two recent occasions made findings under Section 13(b) based on information set forth in an application on Form U-1, without requiring the formal filing on Form U-13-1. See Unitil Corp., 51 SEC Docket 562 (April 24, 1992); CINergy Corp., 57 SEC Docket 2353 (October 21, 1994). The Order as well contemplates that an application/declaration would be filed by GPE seeking authority to create a service company (Order at 15). In this Application/Declaration, GPE has submitted substantially the same application information as would have been submitted in a Form U-13-1.

     Accordingly, it is submitted that it is appropriate to find that GPES will be so organized and shall be so conducted as to meet the requirements of Section 13(b) of the Act, and that the filing of a Form U-13-1 is unnecessary or, alternatively, that this Application/Declaration should be deemed to constitute a filing on Form U-13-1 for purposes of Rule 88.

     KCPL, currently the only public utility in the GPE system, may provide to associate companies services incidental to its utility business, including but not limited to leases or subleases of office or other space with associate companies, services of personnel with specialized expertise and usage of KCPL's integrated voice and data communications system. In addition, to the extent that current leases, licenses and other arrangements respecting goods and services used by KCPL and one or more associate companies cannot be reasonably transferred to GPES, or in situations in which KCPL is the predominant user of such goods and services, or in the event Missouri Public Service Commission approval of the proposed asset transfer is not obtained before the establishment of GPES, KCPL may make available a portion of the associated goods and services to associate companies through leases, licenses or similar arrangements. All such goods and services will be provided to associate comp anies in accordance with Rules 87, 90 and 91. To the extent such matters do not fall within the exception provided in Rule 87(a)(3), Applicants request authorization for KCPL to engage in such activities.

     As noted above, KCPL may have responsibility for GPES' compliance under assigned leases, licenses and other arrangements. Further, in situations where KCPL makes available goods and services to associate companies under leases, licenses or other arrangements between KCPL and third parties, KCPL may have responsibility for those associate companies' compliance with such leases, licenses or other arrangements. To the extent such responsibility is deemed to be an extension of credit or guaranty by KCPL under Section 12(b) of the Act, Applicants request authority for KCPL to incur such responsibility.

     Further, KCPL leases certain utility assets, such as transmission facilities and railcars, and has entered into lease arrangements for five combustion turbines, as authorized in the Order and described in the underlying application/declaration.

     Pursuant to the Order, nonutility subsidiaries were authorized to provide goods and services to each other, and to KCPL, during the Interim Period. Applicants request authorization for WCNOC, as a nonutility subsidiary, to continue to provide goods and services to KCPL and the other owners of Wolf Creek Generating Station pursuant to these existing agreements. Applicants further request, to the extent not exempted under Rule 87(a)(3), authorization for KCPL to continue to provide goods and services to WCNOC pursuant to these existing agreements.

9KCPL holds an undivided 47% ownership interest in Wolf Creek Generating Station, and 47% of the voting securities of WCNOC.

     WCNOC, KCPL and Kansas Gas and Electric Company (an owner of Wolf Creek Generating Station) also have entered into a Service Reciprocity Agreement dated June 20, 1986, providing for the recognition of pension service credits earned by employees who transfer to or from WCNOC, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-6. To the extent the Service Reciprocity Agreement may be deemed jurisdictional, Applicants request authorization for KCPL and WCNOC to continue with such agreement.

     In the Order (pp. 12-13), existing and future intermediate subsidiaries of GPE were authorized to provide management, administrative, project development and operating services at fair market prices to certain classes of nonutility subsidiaries.

     Applicants hereby request that this existing authorization be expanded to allow current and future nonutility Subsidiaries of GPE (including GPES) to enter into agreements to provide construction, goods or services to certain associate companies enumerated below at fair market prices determined without regard to cost, and therefore request an exemption (to the extent that Rule 90(d) of the Act does not apply) under Section 13(b) from the cost standards of Rules 90 and 91.

11See, e.g., Exelon Corp., Holding Co. Act Release No. 27256 (2000); New Century Energies, Holding Co. Act Release No. 27212 (2000); Nisource Inc., Holding Co. Act Release no. 27265).

     As described above, the Order authorized KCPL and the nonutility subsidiaries, during the Interim Period, to provide support services as well as sell goods to each other and to GPE consistent with current practice, as well as services and goods of a substantially similar nature. The Interim Period is currently set to expire on November 6, 2002.

     The Applicants respectfully request that the Interim Period be extended to March 31, 2003. Allowing GPES to commence operations at the start of a quarter will avoid the costs and efforts associated with a mid-quarter change in accounting and financial systems and records, and will simplify the accounting and reporting for GPE and its Subsidiaries for the year 2002. Administrative matters associated with the transfers of a significant number of KCPL employees to GPES would also be eased if the transfer occurred at the beginning of a quarter, rather than during a quarter.

     The fees, commissions and expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the transactions proposed herein are anticipated to not exceed $50,000.

     Sections 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 of the Act and Rules 88, 90 and 91 are considered applicable to the proposed transactions. Section 12(b) of the Act and Rule 45 are applicable to extensions of credit by subsidiaries of a registered holding company to any company in the holding-company system.

     To the extent that the proposed transactions are considered by the Commission to require authorization, exemption or approval under any section of the Act or the rules and regulations other than those set forth above, request for such authorization, exemption or approval is hereby made.

     The Missouri Public Service Commission (the "MPSC") has jurisdiction over the transfer of assets by a public utility, Section 393.190, RSMo. The MPSC has also enacted rules governing the transactions among utilities and affiliated companies, 4 CSR 240-20.015.

     Kansas law provides that no management, construction, engineering or similar contracts between a public utility and an affiliate shall be effective unless first filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission (the "KCC"), K.S.A. 66-1402. No KCC approval is required for such contracts to be effective; however, the KCC may disapprove such contract, after hearing, if it is found to not be in the public interest.

     Pursuant to stipulations approved by the MPSC and the KCC in Case No. EM-2001-464 and Docket No. 01-KCPE-708-MIS, respectively, KCPL is required to file with those agencies copies of all documents that must be filed with the Commission or FERC relating to the creation of GPES. KCPL also agreed to seek agreement with those agencies' staffs, and others, concerning an appropriate notification procedure to be utilized regarding the transfer of functions from KCPL to GPES. Further, KCPL and its affiliates agreed in those stipulations that they will not seek to overturn, reverse, set aside, change or enjoin a decision or order of those agencies which pertains to recovery, disallowance, deferral or ratemaking treatment of any expense, charge cost or allocation incurred or accrued by KCPL respecting a contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction with any affiliate, associate, holding, mutual service or subsidiary company on the basis that such expense, charge, cost or allocation has itself been filed with or approved by the Commission or was incurred pursuant to a contract, arrangement, agreement or allocation method that was filed with or approved by the Commission. Finally, the stipulations include a contingent jurisdictional stipulation regarding contracts between KCPL and its affiliate and associate companies, which shall apply in the exclusive event that a court invalidates a decision of these state agencies pertaining to recovery, disallowance, deferral or ratemaking treatment of any expense, charge, cost or allocation incurred or accrued by KCPL on the basis that such expense, charge, cost or allocation has itself been filed with or approved by the Commission.

     GPE will file information on any action that may be taken by either the MPSC or the KCC with respect to these matters in an amendment to this Application/Declaration. Except as stated above, no state or federal regulatory agency other than the Commission under the Act has jurisdiction over the proposed transactions.
