March 12, 2002.
    EPCOR Power Development, Inc. (EPCOR Power) submitted for filing a 
rate schedule under which EPCOR Power will engage in the sales of 
energy, capacity and certain ancillary services at market-based rates 
and for the reassignment of transmission capacity. EPCOR Power also 
requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
EPCOR Power requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 
18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by EPCOR Power.
    On March 6, 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 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by EPCOR Power 
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, 
EPCOR Power 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 Power, 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 Power'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 April 5, 2002.
