GNE, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 27, 2001.
    GNE, LLC (GNE) filed with the Commission, in the above-docketed 
proceeding, an application for market-based rate authority. GNE's rate 
schedule provides for the sale of capacity, energy, and/or ancillary 
services and the reassignment of transmission capacity. GNE also 
requested certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, GNE 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities 
by GNE. On December 19, 2001, the Commission

issued an order that accepted the tariff for sales of capacity and 
energy at market-based rates (Order), subject to any tariff condition 
adopted by the Commission in Docket No. EL01-118-000.

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (3) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (2) above, GNE is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor, 
indorser, 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 GNE, compatible with the public 
interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    (5) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests
