    Cinergy Services, Inc. (Cinergy), on behalf of Cinergy Corporation 
and its affiliates, Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company, PSI Energy, 
Inc., and Cinergy Power Investments, Inc. (collectively, 
``Applicants'') made certain filings, in the above-docketed 
proceedings, with the Commission pursuant to Ohio restructuring 
legislation implementing customer choice and pursuant to three 
settlements that provide for the continuation of joint generation and 
dispatch and joint transmission planning among Cinergy affiliates. 
Applicants also filed under section 205 of the Federal Power Act 
various agreements, including a market-based rate tariff, related to 
their corporate reorganization. Applicants filings also requested 
certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, Applicants requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by 
Applicants.
    On March 18, 2002, the Commission issued an Order Authorizing 
Transfer Of Assets, Granting Market-Based Rates And Accepting Related 
Agreements For Filing (Order) that granted Applicants request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (J), (K), and (M):
    (J) Within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, any 
person desiring to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by 
Applicants 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.
    (K) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (J) above, Applicants are hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor, 
indorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another 
person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful 
object within the corporate purposes of the Applicants, compatible with 
the public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (M) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of the 
Applicants' issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is April 17, 2002.
