[Docket No. RR06-1-000]


North American Electric Reliability Council and North American 
Electric Reliability Corporation; Notice of Filing

April 7, 2006.
    Take notice that on April 4, 2006, the North American Electric 
Reliability Council and its affiliate, North American Electric 
Reliability Corporation, (jointly ``NERC'') tendered for filing an 
application for certification as the Electric Reliability Organization 
(``ERO'') pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act. NERC claims 
to meet all statutory and regulatory requirements to serve as the ERO 
for the United States and to ensure reliable operation of the North 
American bulk power system. NERC also seeks Commission approval of its 
certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, and its rules of procedure, 
all of which will become the ``ERO Rules.'' In a companion filing, NERC 
is seeking approval of its currently-effective reliability standards.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. On or 
before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to 
intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. on May 4, 2006.
