Alpha Energy Master, Ltd.; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 19, 2007.
    Alpha Energy Master, Ltd. (Alpha Energy) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed 
market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy and capacity 
at market-based rates. Alpha Energy also requested waivers of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, Alpha Energy requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Alpha Energy.
    On December 19, 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 Alpha Energy, should file a protest with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance

[[Page 74276]]

with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2007).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is 
January 18, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Alpha Energy 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 Alpha Energy, 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 Alpha Energy'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
