March 24, 2005.
    Eastern Desert Power LLC (Eastern Desert) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed 
tariff provides for wholesale sales of energy, capacity and ancillary 
services at market-based rates. Eastern Desert also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, Eastern Desert requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Eastern 
Desert.
    On March 23, 2005, the Commission granted the request 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 Eastern 
Desert should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal

20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to

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