DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. ER97-1621-000]
Columbia Energy Services Corporation; Notice of Issuance of Order
April 16, 1997.
Columbia Energy Services Corporation (CESC) submitted for filing a
rate schedule under which CESC will engage in wholesale electric power
and energy transactions as a marketer. CESC also requested waiver of
various Commission regulations. In particular, CESC requested that the
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by CESC.
On March 28, 1997, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation, granted
requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities
or assumptions of liability by CESC 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).
Absent a request for hearing within this period, CESC is authorized
to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a
guarantor, endorser, 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 the applicant, and
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 CESC's issuances of securities or assumptions of
liability.
Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is April 28, 1997. Copies of
the full text of the order are available from the Commission's Public
Reference Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
