The Commission granted the authorizations requested in the Application by letter order dated November 16, 2001.

The change, which affects the manner in which Metro Energy satisfies the regulation prong of the public interest test under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act and Section 33.2(g) of the Commission's Regulations, is that Metro Energy will not cancel its market-based rate tariff, and wishes to have the option to continue its authorization to operate as a wholesale power marketer after the transfer of ownership of the Project to the County.
