Combined Notice of Filings; Additional Types of Filings To Be 
Included in Combined Notice of Filings

June 1, 2006.
    The purpose of this notice is to announce that effective June 1, 
2006, the Commission will issue notices for the following types of 
filings using the combined notice of filings method instituted on May 
17, 2005.

EC--Applications of Electric Public Utilities For Authority to Sell, 
Lease, Purchase, Acquire, or Merge and Applications for Determination 
of Jurisdiction
EG--Applications for Exempt Wholesale Generation Determination
ES--Issuance of Securities and Assumption of Liabilities of Electric 
Utilities
FC--Foreign Utility Company Request
PH--Exemption from or Waiver of Regulation as Holding Company

    In addition, the Secretary is making the following changes to the 
filing procedures for the types of filings listed above:
    1. Filers are no longer required to include draft notices in floppy 
disk format with the filing.
    2. Filers requesting a short comment period for the filing must 
clearly state such request in the ``Re:'' section of the filing, for 
example:

Re: Signal Hill Wichita Falls Power, L.P.
    Docket No. EG06-------
    Request for shortened comment period

    The notices issued under the combined notice of filings method will 
be added to eLibrary and will be published in the Federal Register 
under the name ``Combined Notice of Filings.'' Each filing will be 
listed with its identifying details as follows:
    Docket Number--This item contains a hyperlink to the eLibrary 
docket sheet for the docket number.
    Name of Applicant(s)--This item shows the applicant name as it 
appears on the filing.
    Description--This item contains a basic description of the filing 
and a hyperlink that opens the filed document in eLibrary, as stored in 
eLibrary.
    Filing Date--This item shows the date on which the document was 
filed with the Commission.
    Accession Number--This item contains a hyperlink that will open the 
``Info'' area of eLibrary for the filed document. There may be 
instances in which the accession number for the particular filing 
changes after issuance of the combined notice. In this case, the user 
will have to search eLibrary to access the document.
    Comment Date--This item indicates the comment date for the 
particular filing.
    The ``Combined Notice of Filings'' is indexed in eLibrary as 
follows, for example: ``Combined Notice of Filings, June 1, 2006: This 
notice contains information concerning multiple filings received by 
FERC.'' The Commission may issue more than one ``Combined Notice of 
Filings'' on any given day. In this case, the eLibrary index will read 
as follows, for example: ``Combined Notice of Filings; June 1, 2006 
2: This notice contains information concerning multiple 
filings received by FERC.''
    In time, the Commission expects to issue the majority of notices of 
filings using the combined notice of filings method. By this 
initiative, the Commission seeks to simplify the manner in which the 
Commission's staff prepares notices and thereby expedite the public 
issuance of notices.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
