[Docket No. ER01-2814-000, ER01-2814-001]


Citizens Energy Corporation; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 31, 2001.
    Citizens Energy Corporation (Citizens) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which Citizens will engage in wholesale electric power 
and energy transactions at market-based rates. Citizens also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Citizens 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Citizens.
    On December 19, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, OMTR/Tariffs and Rates-East, granted requests for blanket 
approval under part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Citizens 
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, 
Citizens 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 
Citizens, 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 Citizens' 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 January 18, 2002.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE.,
