DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. ER96-2538-000]


Sandia Energy Resources Company; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 7, 1996.
    Sandia Energy Resources Company (Sandia) submitted for filing a 
rate schedule under which Sandia will engage in wholesale electric 
power and energy transactions as a marketer. Sandia also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Sandia 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 
34 of all future issuance of securities and assumptions of liability by 
Sandia.
    On September 26, 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 Sandia should file a motion 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, Sandia is 
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as 
a guarantor, endorser, 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 Sandia'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 October 28, 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.
