July 16, 1998.
    DTE Edison America, Inc. (DTE Edison America), an affiliate of 
Detroit Edison Company, filed an application for Commission 
authorization to engage in wholesale power sales at market-based rates, 
and for certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, DTE Edison 
America requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 
CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liabilities by DTE Edison America. On July 16, 1998, the Commission 
issued an Order Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates

    The Commission's July 16, 1998 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (C), (D), and (F):

lawful object within the corporate purposes of DTE Edison America, 
compatible with the public interest, and reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.
    (F) 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 DTE 
Edison America's issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities
