DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Ocean Energy Services, Inc., Notice of Issuance of Order

February 8, 1996.
    On December 21, 1995, Ocean Energy Services, Inc. (Ocean Energy) 
submitted for filing a rate schedule under which Ocean Energy will 
engage in wholesale electric power and energy transactions as a 
marketer. Ocean Energy also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Ocean Energy requested that the Commission 
grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by Ocean Energy.
    On January 19, 1996, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation, granted 
requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to 
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities 
or assumptions of liability by Ocean Energy should file a motion to 
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 
211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.211 and 385.214).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, Ocean Energy 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 the applicant, and 
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 Ocean Energy's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is February 20, 1996. Copies 
of the full text of the order are available from the Commission's 
Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street NE., Washington, D.C. 20426.
