Order

May 3, 2001.
    American Ref-Fuel Company of Niagara, L.P. (American Reg-Fuel) 
submitted for filing a rate schedule under which American Ref-Fuel will 
engage in wholesale electric power and energy transactions at market-
based rates. American Ref-Fuel also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, American Ref-Fuel also requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by American 
Ref-Fuel.
    On April 12, 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 
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities 
or assumptions of liability by American Ref-Fuel should file a motion

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
American Ref-Fuel 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 American Ref-Fuel's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
