Wisconsin River Power Company; Notice of Issuance of Order

March 29, 2005.
    Wisconsin River Power Company (Wisconsin River) filed an 
application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying 
tariff. The proposed rate tariff provides for wholesale sales of energy 
and capacity at market-based rates. Wisconsin River also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Wisconsin 
River requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 
Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by Wisconsin River.
    On March 25, 2005, 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 Wisconsin 
River 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).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest, is April 25, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Wisconsin River 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 Wisconsin River, 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 Wisconsin River's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Commission's Order are available
