Big Horn Wind Project LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 9, 2006.
    Big Horn Wind Project LLC (Big Horn) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed rate tariff provides for the sales of energy, capacity and 
ancillary services at market-based rates. Big Horn also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Big Horn 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Big Horn.
    On February 8, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, 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 Big 
Horn 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 protests is March 10, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Big Horn 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 
Big Horn, 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 Big Horn's issuances of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
