    Phelps Dodge Power Marketing, LLC (Phelps Marketing) filed an 
application, as amended, for market-based rate authority, with an 
accompanying rate tariff. The proposed rate tariff provides for the 
sales of capacity and energy at market-based rates. Phelps Marketing 
also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
Phelps Marketing requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Phelps Marketing.
    On August 12, 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 
Phelps Marketing should file a motion to intervene or protest with the

Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214

    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to

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