December 15, 2000.
    On October 23, 2000, Potomac Power Resources, Inc. (PPR) filed with 
the Commission a proposed tariff that covered, among other matters, the 
sale of wholesale power and ancillary services at market-based rates. 
In its filing, PPR also requested certain waivers and authorizations. 
In particular, PPR requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liabilities by PPR. On December 13, 2000, the Commission 
issued an Order Accepting For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rate Tariff 
And Proposed Service Agreements And Granting Waiver Of The Code Of 
Conduct (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's December 13, 2000 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (E), (F), and (H):

Ordering Paragraph (E) above, PPR is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor,

person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful 
object within the corporate purposes of PPR, compatible with the public 
interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    (H) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests
