EPIC Merchant Energy CA, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 30, 2007.
    EPIC Merchant Energy LLC (EPIC) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed market-
based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy, capacity and 
ancillary services at market-based rates. EPIC also requested waivers 
of various Commission regulations. In particular, EPIC requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by EPIC.
    On May 30, 2007, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the requests 
for blanket approval under part 34 (Director's Order). 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 concerning the 
blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability by EPIC should file a 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 protests is 
June 29, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, EPCI 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 EPIC, 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 EPIC'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
