High Desert Power Project, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

November 30, 2006.
    High Desert Power Project, LLC (High Desert) filed an application 
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy, 
capacity and certain ancillary services at market-based rates. High 
Desert also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, High Desert requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by High Desert.
    On September 18, 2001, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Rates--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 High Desert 
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 December 13, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
High Desert 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 
High Desert, 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 High Desert's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
