Power Provider LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 28, 2001.
    Power Provider LLC (Power Provider), an affiliate of Baltimore Gas 
& Electric Company and a newly created electric power marketer, filed 
with the Commission in the above-docketed proceeding, a proposed tariff 
under which Power Provider will engage in the sale of electric energy 
and capacity at market-based rates with affiliated and non-affiliated 
entities. Power Provider's filing also requested certain waivers and 
authorizations. In particular, Power Provider requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by Power 
Provider. On June 27, 2001, the Commission issued an order that 
accepted the tariff for sales of capacity and energy at market-based 
rates (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's June 27, 2001 Order granted Power Provider's 
request for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions 
found in Appendix A in Ordering Paragraphs (2), (3), and (5):
    (2) Within 30 days of the date 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 Power Provider 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (3) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (2) above, Power Provider 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 Power Provider, compatible with 
the public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (5) 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 Power 
Provider'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 July 27, 2001.
