Apple Group, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 25, 2007.
    Apple Group, LLC (Apple) 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. Apple also requested waivers of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Apple requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by Apple.
    On October 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 Apple, 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 
November 26 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Apple 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 Apple, 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 Apple'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
