[Docket No. ER99-1125-000]


LG&E-Westmoreland Rensselaer; Notice of Issuance of Order

March 1, 1999.
    LG&E-Westmoreland Rensselaer (LWR), a general partnership, filed an 
application requesting that the Commission authorize it to engage in 
sales of electric energy and capacity at wholesale at market-based 
rates, and for certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, LWR 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by LWR. On February 25, 1999, the Commission issued an Order 
Conditionally Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), 
in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's February 25, 1999 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (D), (E), and (G):
    (D) 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 LWR 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.
    (E) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (D) above, LWR 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 LWR, compatible with the public 
interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    (G) 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 LWR'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 March 29, 1999.
    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.
