Delmarva Power & Light Company; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 31, 2001.

    Delmarva Power & Light Company (Delmarva) submitted for filing a 
rate schedule under which Delmarva will engage in wholesale electric 
power and energy transactions at market-based rates. Delmarva also 
requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
Delmarva requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 
CFR Part 34 of future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by Delmarva.
    On May 23, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Corporation 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 Delmarva 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, 
Delmarva 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.
