[Docket No. ER01-1755-000]


Constellation Power Source, Inc; Notice of Issuance of Order

July 25, 2001.
    Constellation Power Source, Inc. (CPS) submitted for filing a 
market-based rate schedule allowing eligible independent power 
producers (IPPs) to sell energy and/or capacity to CPS at market-based 
rates for resale. CPS also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations for IPPs. In particular, CPS requested that the Commission 
grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by eligible IPPs.
    On June 5, 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 eligible IPPs 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 
385.211 and 385.214).
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
eligible IPPs are 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 eligible IPPs, 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 eligible IPP'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 August 24, 2001.
