rate schedule under which NCPH will engage in wholesale electric power 
and energy transactions at market-based rates. NCPH also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, NCPH requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by NCPH.
    On January 30, 2001, 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

of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

    Absent a request for hearing within this period. NCPH is authorized 
to issue securities and assume 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 NCPH's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
