December 22, 2000.
    Outback Power Marketing, Inc. (Outback) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which Outback will engage in wholesale electric power

by Outback.
    On December 12, 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 Outback should file a motion to

    Absent a request for hearing within this period, Outback is 
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as 
a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security

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 Outback's issuances of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
