    Pepco Services, Inc. (Pepco Services), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Potomac Capital Investment Corporation which is, in turn, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Potomac Electric Power Company, filed an 
application for Commission authorization to engage in the marketing of 
energy and power at wholesale and the brokering of energy and capacity 
at wholesale, and for certain waivers and authorizations. In 
particular, Pepco Services requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liabilities by Pepco Services. On July 16, 1998, the 
Commission issued an Order Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based

the public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.

require a further showing that neither public nor private interests
