High Sierra Power Marketing, LLC; Sierra Power Asset Marketing, 
LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 24, 2007.
    High Sierra Power Marketing, LLC (High Sierra) and Sierra Power 
Asset Marketing, LLC (Sierra Power) filed applications for market-based 
rate authority, with accompanying tariffs. The proposed market-based 
rate tariffs provide for the sale of energy, capacity and ancillary 
services at market-based rates. High Sierra and Sierra Power also 
requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, 
High Sierra and Sierra Power requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by High Sierra and Sierra 
Power.
    On October 19, 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 High Sierra and Sierra Power, 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 
November 19, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, High Sierra and Sierra Power are 
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 High Sierra and 
Sierra Power, 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 High Sierra's and Sierra Power'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
