Pierce Power LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

August 1, 2001.
    Pierce Power LLC (Pierce) submitted for filing a rate schedule 
under which Pierce will engage in wholesale electric power and energy

future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Pierce.
    On June 8, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Corporate Applications, Office of Markets, Tariffs and

the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to

or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability by Pierce should file a motion to intervene or

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
Pierce 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 
Pierce 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

of liability.
