Standard Binghamton LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 9, 2008.
    Standard Binghamton LLC (Standard Binghamton) 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. Standard 
Binghamton also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Standard Binghamton requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by Standard Binghamton.
    On May 9, 2008, 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 Standard Binghamton, 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). The Commission encourages the electronic submission of protests 
using the FERC Online link at http://www.ferc.gov.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is 
June 10, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Standard Binghamton 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 Standard Binghamton, 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 Standard Binghamton'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., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
