September 14, 2006.
    EPCOR Energy Marketing (US), Inc. (EPCOR) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate schedule. The 
proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale energy, 
capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. EPCOR also 
requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
EPCOR requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 
part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of 
liability by EPCOR.
    On July 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 
EPCOR 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 protest is October 13, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
EPCOR 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 
EPCOR, 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 EPCOR's issuances of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
