DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. ER96-2627-000]


New Jersey Natural Energy Company; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 21, 1996.
    New Jersey Natural Energy Company (New Jersey Energy) submitted for 
filing a rate schedule under which New Jersey Energy will engage in 
wholesale electric power and energy transactions as a marketer. New 
Jersey Energy also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. 
In particular, New Jersey Energy requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by New Jersey Energy.
    On October 2, 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 New Jersey Energy 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, New Jersey Energy 
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 New Jersey 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 November 1, 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.
