[Docket Nos. ER08-371-000; ER08-371-001

 
Cooperative Energy Incorporated; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 27, 2008.
    Cooperative Energy Incorporated (Coop Energy) 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. Coop Energy also requested waivers 
of various Commission regulations. In particular, Coop Energy requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Coop 
Energy.
    On February 26, 2008, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the 
request 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 Coop Energy, 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 FERC Online link at http://www.ferc.gov.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is 
March 27, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Coop 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 Coop 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 Coop 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 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov, using the eLibrary link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
filed to access the document. Comments, protests, and interventions may

electronic filings.
