PPL Southwest Generation Holdings. LLC; Notice of Issuance of 
Order

August 10, 2001.
    PPL Southwest Generation Holdings, Inc. (PPL Southwest) submitted 
for filing a rate schedule under which PPL Southwest will engage in 
wholesale electric power and energy transactions at market-based rates. 
PPL Southwest also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. 
In particular, PPL Southwest requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by PPL Southwest.
    On June 21, 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 PPL Southwest should file a motion to 
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, PPL 
Southwest 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 
PPL Southwest 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 PPL Southwest's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
