          - [Docket No. ER01-1588-000]

Great Bay Power Corporation (Great Bay) submitted for filing a rate schedule under which Great Bay will engage in wholesale electric power energy transactions at market-based rates. Great Bay also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Great Bay requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Great Bay.

On May 14, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, Division of Corporate Applications, Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates, 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 Great Bay 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 and 385.214).

Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, Great Bay  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 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 interest will be adversely affected to continued approval of Great Bay'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 June 13, 2001.
