Lumberton Power, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 24, 2001.
    Lumberton Power, LLC (Lumberton) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which Lumberton will engage in wholesale electric power 
and energy transactions at market-based rates. Lumberton also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In Particular, Lumberton 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Lumberton.
    On May 10, 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 Lumberton should file a motion to 
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 
211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
Lumberton 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 Lumberton'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 June 11, 2001.
