People's Electric Corporation; Notice of Issuance of Order

September 14, 1998.
    People's Electric Corporation (People's) filed an application 
requesting that the Commission authorize it to engage in the wholesale 
sale of capacity and energy at market-based rates, and for certain 
waivers and authorizations. In particular, People's requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by People's. On 
September 11, 1998, the Commission issued an Order Granting Waiver, 
Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-based Rates And Granting Waiver Of 
Notice Requirement (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's September 11, 1998 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (C), (D), and (F):
    (C) Within 30 days of the date of issuance 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 
People's 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.
    (D) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (C) above, People's is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor, 
indorser, 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 People's 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 People'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 October 13, 1998.
