    Calpine Bethpage 3, LLC (Calpine Bethpage) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed rate tariff provides for wholesale sales of energy and 
capacity at market-based rates. Calpine Bethpage also requested waiver 
of various Commission regulations. In particular, Calpine Bethpage 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Calpine Bethpage.
    On January 3, 2005, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following:

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Calpine Bethpage 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 Calpine Bethpage, 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 Calpine Bethpage's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
