[Docket No. ER97-144-000]


American Hunter Energy Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

November 27, 1996.
    American Hunter Energy Inc. (American Hunter) submitted for filing 
a rate schedule under which American Hunter will engage in wholesale 
electric power and energy transactions as a marketer. American Hunter 
also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
American Hunter requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by American Hunter.
    On November 13, 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 American Hunter 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, American Hunter 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 that right to require a further showing 
that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of American Hunter'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 December 13, 1996.
    Copies of the full text of the order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
