[Docket No. ER01-2562-000 and ER01-2562-001]


Competitive Energy Services, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 16, 2001.
    Competitive Energy Services, LLC (CES) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which CES will engage in wholesale electric power and 
energy transactions at market-based rates. CES also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, CES requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by CES.
    On September 20, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, OMTR/Tariffs and Rates-East, 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 CES 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, CES 
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.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of CES'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 October 30, 2001.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE.,
