OGE Energy Resources, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 31, 1997.
    OGE Energy Resources, Inc. (OGE Energy) filed an application for 
authorization to sell power at market-based rates, and for certain 
waivers and authorizations. In particular, OGE Energy requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by OGE 
Energy. On October 17, 1997, the Commission issued an Order 
Conditionally Accepting for Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order),

    The Commission's October 17, 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

Ordering Paragraph (D) above, OGE Energy is hereby authorized, pursuant 
to section 204 of the FPA, to issue securities and assume obligations

of any security of another person; provided that such issue or 
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of 
OGE Energy, 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 OGE 
Energy'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 November 17, 1997.
