Alabama Electric Marketing, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

January 8, 2001.
    Alabama Electric Marketing, LLC (AEM) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which AEM will engage in wholesale electric power and 
energy transactions at market-based rates. AEM also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, AEM requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuance of securities and assumptions of liability by AEM.
    On January 3, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Corporate Applications, Office of Markets, Tariffs and

the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to

or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability by AEM should file a motion to intervene or 
protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First

    Absent a request for hearing within this period, AEM is authorized 
to issue securities and assumes obligations or liabilities as a 
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 AEM'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 February 2, 2001.
