Hermiston Power Partnership; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 30, 2002.
    Hermiston Power Partnership (Hermiston) submitted for filing an 
initial rate schedule that provides for wholesale sales of electric 
energy, capacity replacement services, and certain ancillary services 
at market-based rates, and for the reassignment and resale of 
transmission rights. Hermiston also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, Hermiston requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Hermiston.
    On May 3, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates-West, granted requests for blanket 
approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Hermiston 
should file a motion to intervene or 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 and 385.214).
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, 
Hermiston 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 
Hermiston, 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 Hermiston's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is June 10, 2002.
