Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by South Jersey.
    On February 28, 1997, 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 South Jersey should file a motion to 
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

    Absent a request for hearing within this period, South Jersey 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 South Jersey'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 March 31, 1997. Copies of 
the full text of the order are available from the Commission's Public
