 [Docket No. ER03-965-000]

 
ACN Utility Services, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

July 25, 2003.
    ACN Utility Services, Inc. (ACN) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with accompanying tariffs. The proposed tariffs 
provide for sales of capacity and energy at market-based rates. ACN 
also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
ACN requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 
part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by ACN.
    On July 17, 2003, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by ACN 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).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is August 18, 2003.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
ACN 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 
ACN, 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 ACN's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
