    Calpine California Equipment Finance Company, LLC (``CCEFC''), a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Calpine Corporation, filed an application 
requesting authority to transact at market-based rates, along with the 
accompanying tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for 
sales of capacity and energy at market-based rates, the sale of 
ancillary services at market rates, the resale of firm transmission 
rights, and the reassignment of transmission capacity. CCEFC also 
requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
CCEFC requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 
part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by CCEFC.
    On January 24, 2003, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted requests for 
blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following:

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is February 24, 2003.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
CCEFC 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 
CCEFC, 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
