Issuance of Order

September 11, 2007.
    AB Energy NY, Pty. Ltd (AB Energy NY) and AB Energy NE, Pty. (AB 
Energy NE) filed applications for market-based rate authority, with 
accompanying rate schedules. The proposed market-based rate schedules 
provide for the sale of energy, capacity and ancillary services at 
market-based rates. AB Energy NY and AB Energy NE also requested 
waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, AB Energy NY 
and AB Energy NE requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by AB Energy NY and AB Energy NE.
    On September 10, 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 AB Energy NY and AB Energy NE, 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 
October 10, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, AB Energy NY and AB Energy NE are 
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 AB Energy NY and AB 
Energy NE, 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 AB Energy NY's and AB Energy NE's issuance of 
securities or assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from 
the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
