(collectively, ``Nordic Energy'') submitted for filing a rate schedule 
under which Nordic Energy will engage in wholesale electric power and

34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Nordic Energy.
    On July 24, 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 Nordic Energy should file a motion to

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
Nordic Energy 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 Nordic Energy 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 Nordic Energy's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
