Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. ER99-3025-000]


Public Service Company of Colorado; Issuance of Order

July 15, 1999.
    Public Service Company of Colorado (PSColorado) filed a rate 
schedule under which it may purchase electricity from certain of its 
retail customers with on-site generation. PSColorado filed the rate 
schedule on behalf of the customer-sellers, rather than having numerous 
small sellers separately request authorization to sell power for the 
few times needed by PSColorado. The customers-sellers will become, by 
virtue of submitting service agreements under this rate schedule, 
subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Consequently, PSColorado is 
requesting waiver of various requirements of the Commission on behalf 
of the participating entities (PSColorado's customer-sellers). In 
particular, PSColorado requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liabilities by PSColorado's customer-sellers. On July 
14, 1999, the Commission issued an Order Accepting For Filing Proposed 
Rate Schedule And Granting Waivers (Order), in the above-docketed 
proceeding.
    The Commission's July 14, 1999 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 35, 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 PSColorado's 
customer-sellers 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, PSColorado's customer-sellers is hereby 
authorized to issued 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 PSColorado's customer-
sellers, 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 
PSColorado's customer-sellers' 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 August 13, 1999.
