MeadWestvaco Energy Services, L.L.C.; Notice of Issuance of Order

 January 5, 2005.
    MeadWestvaco Energy Services, L.L.C. (MWES) filed an application 
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed rate tariff provides for wholesale sales of energy, capacity, 
and ancillary services at market-based rates. MWES also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, MWES requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by MWES.
    On December 20, 2004, the Commission 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 MWES 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, 385.214 (2004). MeadWestvaco Energy 
Services, L.L.C., 109 FERC 61,290 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest, is January 19, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
MWES 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 
MWES, 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 MWES's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Commission's Order are available 
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
