[Docket No. ER00-3774-000]


Adirondack Hydro Fourth Branch, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

November 9, 2000.
    Adirondack Hydro Fourth Branch, LLC (Adirondack) submitted for 
filing a rate schedule under which Adirondack will engage in wholesale 
electric power and energy transactions at market-based rates. 
Adirondack also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Adirondack requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Adirondack.
    On November 1, 2000, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Corporate Applications, Office of Markets, Tariffs and 
Rates, granted requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to 
the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to 
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities 
or assumptions of liability by Adirondack 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).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, Adirondack is 
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as 
guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of 
another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some 
lawful object within the corporate purposes of the applicant, and 
compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of Adirondack's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is December 1, 2000.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE, Washington,
