NOTICES

Tentative Order

[32 Pa.B. 1459]

Public Meeting held
February 21, 2002

Commissioners Present:  Glen R. Thomas, Chairperson; Kim Pizzingrilli; Aaron Wilson, Jr.; Terrance J. Fitzpatrick

Columbia Energy Power Marketing Corp.; Doc. No. A-110067

Tentative Order

By the Commission:

   Columbia Energy Power Marketing Corp. (Columbia) has not paid its 2001-2002 Annual Assessment pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 510. In its efforts to collect payment, Law Bureau Prosecutory Staff was advised by the company's former outside lawyer that all of the company's assets were sold to two other companies in the summer of 2000 and that Columbia is no longer in business. Telephone calls to the last known business address of Columbia confirmed that the number is no longer in service and no information is available for any new phone number.

   Columbia, an electric generation supplier, was granted an interim electric generation supplier license by the Commission on May 21, 1998, at A-110067, and a permanent license on January 1, 1999. Based upon the findings of the Prosecutory Staff, we believe that it is appropriate to revoke Columbia's license without the necessity of first filing a formal complaint. Finally, we are not aware that Columbia has any current customers in Pennsylvania. For these reasons, we tentatively conclude that revocation of Columbia's license pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 2809 will not be detrimental to the public interest; Therefore,

It Is Ordered That:

   1.  Columbia Energy Power Marketing Corp.'s electric generation supplier license is hereby tentatively approved to be revoked as being in the public interest.

   2.  A copy of this Tentative Order be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin giving all persons having an interest in this proceeding 30 days from the date of publication to file a written response.

   3.  Absent the filing of adverse public comment 30 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, this Tentative Order shall become final without further order of this Commission.

   4.  Upon this order becoming final and without further action by the Commission, the license held by Columbia Energy Power Marketing Corp. at A-110067 shall be cancelled, and the company's name stricken from all active utility lists maintained by the Tariff and Annual Report Section of the Commission's Bureau of Fixed Utility Services and the Assessment Section of the Bureau of Administrative Services.

   5.  A copy of this Order be served upon the Office of Consumer Advocate, the Office of Small Business Advocate, the Office of Trial Staff, and the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection.

Secretary
