Texaco Natural Gas Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 9, 1996.
    On September 18, 1995, as amended November 1, 1995 and November 29, 
1995, Texaco Natural Gas Inc. (Texaco) submitted for filing a rate 
schedule under which Texaco will engage in wholesale electric power and 
energy transactions as a marketer. Texaco also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, Texaco requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Texaco.
    On January 25, 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 Texaco should file a motion 

[[Page 5759]]
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).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, Texaco 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 Texaco'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 26, 1996. Copies 
of the full text of the order are available from the Commission's 
Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
