September 5, 2006.
    Freedom Partners, LLC (Freedom Partners) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate schedule. The 
proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale of energy and 
capacity at market-based rates. Freedom Partners also requested waivers 
of various Commission regulations. In particular, Freedom Partners 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Freedom Partners.
    On August 14, 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 
Freedom Partners 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, 
Freedom Partners 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 Freedom Partners, 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 Freedom Partners' issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
