[Docket No. ER97-2414-000]


Lowell Congeneration Company Limited Partnership; Notice of 
Issuance of Order

July 28, 1997.
    Lowell Cogeneration Company Limited Partnership (Lowell) filed an 
application seeking Commission authorization to engage in the wholesale 
sale of electric energy and capacity at market-based rates, and for 
certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, Lowell requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by 
Lowell. On July 17, 1997, the Commission issued an Order Accepting For 
Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), in the above-docketed 
proceeding.
    The Commission's July 17, 1997 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (D), (E), and (G):
    (D) Within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, any 
person desiring to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by 
Lowell 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.
    (E) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (D) above, Lowell is hereby authorized, pursuant to 
section 204 of the FPA, to issue securities and assume obligations or 
liabilities as guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of 
any security of another person; provided that such issue or assumption 
is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of Lowell, 
compatible with the public interest, and reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purpose.
    (G) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of Lowell's 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities.* * *
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is August 18, 1997.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE.,

Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
