NICOR Energy Management Services Company; Notice of Issuance of 
Order

April 23, 1997.
    NICOR Energy Management Services Company (NICOR) submitted for 
filing a rate schedule under which NICOR will engage in wholesale 
electric power and energy transactions as a marketer. NICOR also 
requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
NICOR requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 
Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by NICOR.
    On April 8, 1997, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation, granted 
requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to

or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability by NICOR should file a motion to intervene or 
protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First

of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, NICOR is 
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as 
a guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security 
of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for 
some lawful object within the corporate purposes of the applicant, and 
compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of NICOR's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is May 8, 1997. Copies of 
the full text of the order are available from the Commission's Public 
Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
