market-based rates pursuant to a

wholesale power sales contract with a

single customer, MATEP LLC.2, and for

certain waivers and authorizations. In

particular, Advanced Energy seeks for

MATEP the same waivers and

authorizations under 18 CFR part 34 of

all future issuances of securities and

assumptions of liabilities by MATEP as

those granted by the Commission to

other power sellers with market-based

rate authorization. On April 20, 1998,

the Commission issued an Order

within the period set forth in Ordering

Paragraph (C) above, MATEP is 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

MATEP, compatible with the public

interest, and reasonably necessary or

appropriate for such purposes.

to modify this order to require a further

showing that neither public nor private
