XL Trading Partners America LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 17, 2004.
    XL Trading Partners America LLC (XL Trading) filed an application 
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The 
proposed tariff provides for wholesale sales of capacity, energy, and 
ancillary services at market-based rates. XL Trading also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, XL Trading 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by the XL Trading.
    On February 9, 2004, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by XL Trading 
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).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is March 10, 2004.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
XL Tading 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 
XL Trading, 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 XL Trading's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
