Ocean Vista Power Generation, L.L.C., Oeste Power Generation,
L.L.C., Mountain Vista Power Generation, L.L.C., and Alta Power
Generation, L.L.C. (collectively, Applicants) are affiliates of Houston
Lighting & Power Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Houston
Industries Power Generation, Inc., which in turn is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Houston Industries. Each Applicant filed separate
applications for authorization to engage in wholesale power sales at
market-based rates, and for certain waivers and authorizations. In
particular, Applicants requested that the Commission grant blanket
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liabilities by Applicants. On February 11, 1998, the
Commission issued an Order Conditionally Accepting for Filing Proposed
Market-Based Rates and Granting Waiver of Notice (Order), in the above-
docketed proceeding.
The Commission's February 11, 1998 Order granted the request for
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in
Ordering paragraphs (E), (F), and (H):
(E) Within 30 days of the date of this order, any person desiring
to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket approval of
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by Applicants
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal
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.
(F) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in
Ordering Paragraph (E) above, Applicants are hereby authorized to issue
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor,
indorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another
person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful
object within the corporate purposes of Applicants, compatible with the
public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.
(H) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of
Applicants' issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities * *
*.
Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is March 13, 1998.
Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the
