[Docket No. ER97-1932-000]


Competitive Utility Services Corporation; Notice of Issuance of 
Order

May 6, 1997.
    Competitive Utility Services Corporation (CUSCo), filed an 
application for authorization to sell power at market-based rates, and 
for certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, CUSCo requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by CUSCo. 
On April 18, 1997 the Commission issued an Order Conditionally 
Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), in the above-
docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's April 18, 1997 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (D), (E), and (G):
    (D) Within 30 days of the date of this order, any person desiring 
to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket approval of 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by CUSCo should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (E) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (D) above, CUSCo is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and to assume obligations or liabilities as guarantor, 
endorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another 
person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful 
object within the corporate purposes of CUSCo, compatible with the 
public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (G) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of CUSCo's 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities. * * *
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is May 19, 1997. Copies of 
the full text of the Order are available from the Commission's Public 
Reference Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
