Energy Atlantic, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 21, 1998.
    Energy Atlantic, LLC (Energy Atlantic), a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of Maine Public Service Company, filed an application requesting that 
the Commission authorize it to engage in the marketing and brokering of 
energy and capacity at market-based rates, and for certain waivers and 
authorizations. In particular, Energy Atlantic requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by Energy 
Atlantic. On October 16, 1998, the Commission issued an Order Accepting 
For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates And Reassignment of Transmission 
Capacity (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's October 16, 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 after 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 
Energy Atlantic should file a motion to intervene or protest with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
DC 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, Energy Atlantic 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 Energy Atlantic, 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 Energy 
Atlantic'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 November 16, 1998.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE, Washington,
