[Docket No. ER04-734-000]


Barclays Bank PLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 21, 2004.
    Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays Bank) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed tariff 
provides for wholesale sales of capacity, energy, and ancillary 
services at market-based rates. Barclays Bank also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, Barclays Bank requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Barclays 
Bank.
    On June 2, as amended June 4, 2004, 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 Barclays Bank 
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, is July 2, 2004.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Barclays Bank 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 Barclays Bank, 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 Barclays Bank'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
