July 26, 2007.
    Barclays Capital Energy, Inc. (Barclays Capital) filed an 
application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate 
schedule. The proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale 
of energy, capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. 
Barclays Capital also requested waivers of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Barclays Capital requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Barclays 
Capital.
    On July 25, 2007, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the requests 
for blanket approval under part 34 (Director's Order). 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 concerning the 
blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability by Barclays Capital should file a 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 protests is 
August 24, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Barclays Capital 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 Barclays Capital 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 approvals of Barclays Capital's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
