[Docket No. ER02-2408-000]


Lower Mount Bethel Energy, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

August 6, 2004.
    Lower Mount Bethel Energy, LLC (LMBE) 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. LMBE also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, LMBE requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by LMBE.
    On September 18, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development--Central, 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 LMBE should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 August 16, 2004.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
LMBE 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 
LMBE, 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 LMBE's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
