Great Plains Power Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

March 29, 2002.
    Great Plains Power Inc. (GPP) submitted for filing a rate schedule 
under which GPP will engage in the sales of capacity, energy and 
certain ancillary services at market-based rates and for the 
reassignment of transmission capacity. GPP also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, GPP requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by GPP.
    On March 27, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates-Central, 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 GPP 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, GPP 
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 GPP, 
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 GPP'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 26, 2002.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the
