Electric Company (Wellsboro) filed an application for market-based rate

that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Citizens 
and Wellsboro.

    On November 16, 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

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 Citizens and Wellsboro, should file a

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 
December 17, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Citizens and Wellsboro are 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 Citizens and Wellsboro, 
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 Citizen's and Wellsboro's issuance of securities 
or assumptions of liability.
