[Docket No. ER97-4381-000]


Eastern Energy Marketing, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 15, 1997.
    Eastern Energy Marketing, Inc. (EEMI) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which EEMI will engage in wholesale electric power and 
energy transactions as a marketer. EEMI also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, EEMI requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by EEMI.
    On December 4, 1997, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Rate Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation, 
granted requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the 
following:
    Within 30 days of the date of the order, any person desiring to be 
heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability by EEMI 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).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, EEMI is authorized 
to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a 
guarantor, indorser, 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 EEMI'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 January 5, 1998. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
