The Energy Group of America, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

January 18, 2006.
    The Energy Group of America, Inc. (the Energy Group) filed an 
application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate 
schedule. The proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the 
sales of capacity, energy and ancillary at market-based rates. The 
Energy Group also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. 
In particular, the Energy Group requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by the Energy Group.
    On January 13, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, 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 the 
Energy Group 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 protest is February 13, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
the Energy Group 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 the Energy Group, 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 the Energy Group's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
