[Docket No. ER97-610-000]
Murphy Oil USA; Notice of Issuance of Order
March 6, 1997.
Murphy Oil USA (Murphy Oil) submitted for filing a rate schedule
under which Murphy Oil will engage in wholesale electric power and
energy transactions as a marketer. Murphy Oil also requested waiver of
various Commission regulations. In particular, Murphy Oil requested
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Murphy
Oil.
On February 27, 1997, pursuant to delegated authority, the
Director, Division of Applications, Office of Electric Power
Regulation, granted requests for blanket approval under Part 34,
subject to the following:
Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities
or assumptions of liability by Murphy Oil should file a motion to
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules
211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.211 and 385.214).
Absent a request for hearing within this period, Murphy Oil is
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as
a guarantor, endorser, 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 applicant, and
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 Murphy Oil's issuances of securities or
assumptions of liability.
