FPLE Rhode Island State Energy, L.P.; Notice of Issuance of Order

August 7, 2002.
    FPLE Rhode Island State Energy, LP (FPLE) submitted for filing an 
application for authorization to sell energy, capacity and certain 
ancillary services at market-based rates. FPLE also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, FPLE requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by FPLE.
    On July 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 FPLE 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, FPLE 
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 FPLE, 
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 FPLE'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 August 28, 2002.
