UtiliGroup, Inc. (UtiliGroup) submitted for filing a Petition for
Acceptance of Initial Rate Schedule and Blanket Authority. UtiliGroup
also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular,
UtiliGroup requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under

Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by UtiliGroup

Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period,

liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect

assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of
UtiliGroup, 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 UtiliGroup'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 July 26, 2002.
