Texas Retail Energy, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

November 4, 2005.
    Texas Retail Energy, LLC (Texas Retail) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed rate tariff provides for the sales of capacity, energy, and 
ancillary services at market-based rates and for the reassignment of 
transmission capacity. Texas Retail also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, Texas Retail requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Texas Retail.
    On November 3, 2005, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated 
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal 
Register establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. 
Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by 
Texas Retail 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, 385.214 
(2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests is December 5, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Texas Retail 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 Texas Retail, 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 Texas Retail's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
