InPower Marketing Corporation; Notice of Issuance of Order

April 10, 2000.
    InPower Marketing Corporation (InPower) filed with the Commission a 
rate schedule that would permit entities (Independent Power Producers, 
hereafter ``IPPs'') that own generation to meet their own on-site 
demands or for back-up purposes to sell power at market-based rates to 
InPower.\1\ InPower's filing, on behalf of yet-to-be-identified IPPs, 
requested certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, InPower 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities 
by eligible IPPs. On March 30, 2000, the Commission issued an Order 
Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rate Schedule And Granting 
Waivers (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.

    \1\ On October 12, 1999, in Docket No. ER99-3964-000, InPower 
was authorized to sell power under market-based rates (unpublished 
letter order issued by the Director of the Division of Rate 
Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation).
