August 6, 2007.
    Northern Iowa Windpower II, LLC (Northern Iowa) filed an 
application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying 
tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of 
energy and capacity at market-based rates. Northern Iowa also requested 
waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, Northern Iowa 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by Northern Iowa.
    On August 1, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Rates--Central, granted the request 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 Northern Iowa, 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 
September 5, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Northern Iowa 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 Northern Iowa, 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 Northern Iowa's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
