[Docket No. ER01-845-000]


FirstEnergy Generation Corporation; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 28, 2001.
    On December 28, 2000, FirstEnergy Generation Corporation, 
(hereafter ``GENCO'', a recently formed subsidiary of FirstEnergy 
Services Corporation) filed with the Commission an application seeking 
the authority to sell energy and capacity at market-based rates. In its 
filing, GENCO also requested certain waivers and authorizations. In 
particular, GENCO requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liabilities by GENCO. On February 22, 2001, the 
Commission issued an Order Accepting For Filing Market-Based Rate 
Tariff And Granting Waivers And Blanket Authorizations (Order), in the 
above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's February 22, 2001 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (C), (D), and (F):
    (C) Within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, any 
person desiring to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by 
GENCO 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.
    (D) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (C) above, GENCO is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor, 
indorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another 
person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful 
object within the corporate purposes of GENCO, compatible with the 
public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (F) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of GNECO's 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities. * * *
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is March 26, 2001.
