SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56189; File No. SR-FICC-2007-07]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule To Make
Technical Changes To Update and Align Provisions With Current Practice

August 2, 2007.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on June 21, 2007, the Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by FICC. FICC filed the proposal pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) and
(ii) of the Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) and (2) \3\ thereunder so that
the proposal was effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the rule
change from interested parties.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i) and (ii).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1) and (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The purpose of the rule change is to make technical changes to
certain provisions of the Government Securities Division (``GSD'')
rules and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (``MBSD'') rules to
update and to align them with current practice.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FICC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by FICC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

(1) Off-the-Market Transactions
    The definition of Off-the-Market Transactions in the GSD rules is
outdated and does not allow for adjustments in market conditions. FICC
proposes to amend this definition by (i) Deleting the reference to
``option exercises'' so that they are no longer automatically
considered to be Off-the-Market Transactions, (ii) establishing a
System Price \5\ as the basis for determining whether a transaction
will be an Off-the-Market Transactions, and (iii) allowing FICC to
establish the percentage, based on factors such as market conditions,
by which the price of a transaction must exceed or fall short of the
System Price in order to constitute an Off-the-Market Transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Rule 1 defines System Price as ``the uniform price
(expressed in dollars per unit of par value), not including accrued
interest, established by [FICC] on each Business Day, based on
current market information, for each Eligible Netting Security with
a separate CUSIP Number. Notwithstanding the above, the System Price
for the Generic CUSIP Number that underlies a GCF Net Settlement
Position shall be equal to principal value.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) The Bond Market Association
    The Bond Market Association (``BMA'') has merged with the
Securities Industry Association to form the Securities Industry and
Financial Markets Association (``SIFMA''). FICC is proposing to revise
the MBSD Clearing Rules and MBSD EPN Rules to replace references to the
BMA and BMA Guidelines with references to SIFMA and SIFMA Guidelines.
(3) Omnibus Account Fees and Access Fees
    MBSD's EPN Schedule of Charges currently provides for Omnibus
Account fees and for Access fees. These fees no longer exist. FICC is
proposing to amend the MBSD EPN Schedule of Charges to delete the
reference to Omnibus Account fees and Access fees.
    The proposed rule change is consistent with section 17A of the
Act,\6\ as amended, because it constitutes technical changes that do
not adversely affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the
custody or control of FICC or for which it is responsible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FICC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. FICC will notify the Commission any written
comments received by FICC.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) and (ii) of the Act \7\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(1) and (2) \8\ thereunder because the proposed rule change
constitutes a stated policy and interpretation with respect to the
meaning of existing FICC rules and changes a fee imposed by FICC. At
any time within sixty days of the filing of the proposed rule change,
the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to
the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 Docket Nos. ER08-609-000; ER08-609-001

 Endure Energy, L.L.C.; Notice of Issuance of Order

 April 30, 2008.
    Endure Energy, L.L.C. (Endure 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, capacity and
ancillary services at market-based rates. Endure Energy also requested
waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, Endure Energy
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability
by Endure Energy.
    On April 25, 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 Endure Energy, should file a protest with the Federal

of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004). The
Commission encourages the electronic submission of protests using the

    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is May
27, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket
approvals by the deadline above, Endure 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 Endure 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 Endure 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
