Public Power & Utility, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

September 25, 2007.
    Public Power & Utility, Inc. (PP&U) 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 and 
capacity at market-based rates. PP&U also requested waivers of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, PP&U requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by PP&U.
    On September 17, 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 Mittal, 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 18, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, PP&U 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 PP&U, 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 PP&U's issuance of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
