Highland Energy, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

December 14, 2006.
    Highland Energy, LLC (Highland) 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 
ancillary services at market-based rates. Highland also requested 
waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, Highland 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Highland.
    On December 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 Highland 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 January 16, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Highland 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 
Highland, 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 Highland's issuance of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
