[Docket No. ER01-1159-000]
MidAmerican Energy Company; Notice of Issuance of Order
March 26, 2001.
MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican) submitted for filing a
rate schedule under which MidAmerican will engage in wholesale electric
power and energy transactions at market-based rates. MidAmerican also
requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular,
MidAmerican requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under
18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of
liability by MidAmerican.
On March 20, 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 MidAmerican 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,
MidAmerican 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 interests will be adversely affected by
continued approval of MidAmerican'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 19, 2001.
