NRG Northern Ohio Generating LLC; NRG Ashtabula Generating LLC; 
and NRG Lakeshore Generating LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 7, 2002.
    NRG Northern Ohio Generating LLC, NRG Ashtabula Generating LLC, and 
NRG Lakeshore Generating LLC (collectively, ``the NRG Companies'') each 
filed an application for market-based rate authority, with accompanying 
tariffs and codes of conduct. The proposed market-based tariffs provide 
for the wholesale sale of electric energy, capacity, and ancillary 
services, and the sale, assignment or transfer of transmission 
capacity. The NRG Companies also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, the NRG Companies requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by the NRG 
Companies .
    On March 29, 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 the NRG 
Companies 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, the 
NRG Companies are 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 the NRG Companies, 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 the NRG Companies' 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 June 17, 2002.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Internet at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
