    Take notice that on August 12, 2002, the City of Burbank, 
California (Burbank) tendered for filing Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) a ``Complaint And Request For Investigation, 
Contract Modification, And Refunds, Request To Hold Further Procedures

Protective Agreement''

[[Page 53917]]

against Calpine Energy Services, L.P., Duke Energy Trading and 
Marketing, L.L.C., and El Paso Merchant Energy, L.P. (collectively, 
Respondents). Burbank's Complaint alleges that prices under contracts 
for purchases that it entered with Respondents during a period when the 
California market was dysfunctional are unjust and unreasonable and not 
in the public interest. Burbank requests the Commission to hold further 
procedures regarding the Complaint in abeyance. Burbank has requested 
confidential treatment for certain information.
    Copies of the Complaint were served, simultaneous with filing with 
the Commission, on Respondents, and the Public Utilities Commission of 
the State of California.

Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party must file a motion to intervene. The answer to the complaint and
