    Emera Energy U.S. Subsidiary No. 2, Inc. (Emera Energy No. 2) filed 
an application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying 
tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of 
energy and capacity at market-based rates. Emera Energy No. 2 also 
requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
Emera Energy No. 2 requested that the Commission grant blanket approval 
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Emera Energy No. 2.
    On June 20, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the requests 
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 
approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by 
Emera Energy No. 2 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).

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Emera Energy No. 2 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 Emera Energy No. 2, 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 approvals of Emera Energy No. 2's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
