Southern Company-Florida LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 31, 2001.

    Southern Company-Florida LLC (Southern-Florida) submitted for 
filing a rate schedule under which Southern-Florida will engage in 
wholesale electric power and energy transactions at market-based rates. 
Southern-Florida also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Southern-Florida requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Southern-
Florida.
    On May 23, 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 Southern-Florida 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

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
Southern-Florida 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 Southern-Florida'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 22, 2001.
