Choctaw Generation Limited Partnership; Notice of Issuance of 
Order

September 17, 1998.
    Choctaw Generation Limited Partnership (Choctaw), a Delaware 
limited partnership, and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tractebel Power, 
Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is in turn an indirect wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Tractebel, S.A., a Belgian energy services corporation, 
filed an application to engage in wholesale power sales at market-based 
rates, and for certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, 
Choctaw requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 
CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liabilities by Choctaw. On September 15, 1998, the Commission issued an 
Order Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), in the 
above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's September 15, 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 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 Choctaw 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 Procedures, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (D) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (C) above, Choctaw 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 Choctaw, 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 
Choctaw'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 15, 1998.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
