[Docket Nos. ER02-530-000; ER02-530-001]


Duke Energy Marshall, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 1, 2006.
    Duke Energy Marshall County, LLC (Duke Marshall) 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 
and for the reassignment and sale of transmission capacity. Duke 
Marshall also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Duke Marshall requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Duke Marshall.
    On April 17, 2002, 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 Duke Marshall 
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 (2006).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest is December 15, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Duke Marshall is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations 
or liabilities as 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 
Duke Marshall, 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 Duke Marshall's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from 
the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
