Duke Energy Southaven, L.L.C.; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 1, 2006.
    Duke Energy Southaven, L.L.C. (Duke Southaven) filed an application 
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff and 
code of conduct. The proposed market-based rate schedule provides for 
sales of capacity, energy, and ancillary services at market-based 
rates, and for the reassignment of transmission capacity. Duke 
Southaven also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Duke Southaven requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Duke Southaven.
    On February 13, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Rates--Central, 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 Southaven 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 Southaven 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 Southaven, 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 Southaven'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
