We present calculations of the electronic band structures of La_{2/3}Pb_{1/3}Mn_{2/3}(Fe,Co,Ni)_{1/3}O_{3} colossal magneto-resistance manganites. The calculations are based on first-principles density functional theory with general gradient approximation GGA+U using WIEN2k package. The calculations show that electronic structures of these compounds consist mainly of Mn 3d, O 2p, and (Fe,Co,Ni) 3d states, which are hybridized over whole valence bands. Substitution Mn ion by Fe, Co, or Ni ions reduces the Mn and O contributions to the valence bands and weakens the double exchange interaction. The results are in good agreement with available experimental data.
