rate schedule under which EPCOR will engage in the sales of energy, 
capacity and certain ancillary services at market-based rates and for 
the reassignment of transmission capacity. EPCOR also requested waiver 
of various Commission regulations. In particular, EPCOR requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by EPCOR.
    On March 1, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Office of Markets, 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

EPCOR 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 
EPCOR, 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 EPCOR's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
