    Front Range Power Company, LLC (Front Range) submitted for filing a 
rate schedule and two long-term power purchase agreements with Colorado 
Public Service Company under which Front Range will engage in wholesale 
electric power and energy transactions at market-based rates and for

34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Front Range.
    On April 22, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates-West, granted requests for blanket

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 
Front Range, 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
