requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
Lehigh Capital requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Lehigh Capital.
    On January 31, 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 Lehigh Capital, 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 (2007). The 
Commission encourages the electronic submission of protests using the

    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is 
March 3, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Lehigh Capital 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 Lehigh Capital, 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 Lehigh Capital's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
