[Docket Nos. ER03-292-000]


D.E. Shaw Plasma Power L.L.C.; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 14, 2003.
    D.E. Shaw Plasma Power L.L.C. (Plasma Power) filed an application 
requesting authority to transact at market-based rates along with the 
accompanying tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for 
the sale of capacity, energy, and ancillary services at market-based 
rates. Plasma Power also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Plasma Power requested that the Commission 
grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by Plasma Power.
    On February 13, 2003, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development - South, granted 
the request 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 Plasma Power 
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).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is March 17, 2003.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Plasma Power 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 Plasma Power, 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 Plasma Power's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    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 Commission's
