based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The proposed 
rate tariff provides for the sales of capacity and energy at market-
based rates. DES also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, DES requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by DES.
    On July 20, 2005, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,

Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under part 34. The Director's order also stated 
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal 
Register establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. 
Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by DES 
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, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest is August 19, 2005. Absent a request to be heard 
in opposition by the deadline above, DES 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 DES, 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 DES issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
