Buchanan Generation, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 17, 2002.
    Buchanan Generation, LLC (Buchanan) filed an application requesting 
authority to engage in the sale of wholesale energy, capacity, and 
ancillary services at market-based rates, franchised affiliate sales at 
market-based rates and the reassignment of transmission capacity. 
Buchanan also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Buchanan requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Buchanan.
    On May 29, 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 Buchanan 
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, 
Buchanan 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 
Buchanan, 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 Buchanan'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 June 28, 2002.
