 [Docket No. RR11-1-000; Docket No. RR11-1-001]


Nebraska Public Power District; Southwest Power Pool Regional 
Entity; Notice of Extension of Time

    On April 8, 2011, the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) filed 
a motion for an extension of time to file comments in connection with 
the March 18, 2011 Petition of Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD 
Petition) in Docket No RR11-1-000. In its motion, MRO notes that on 
March 21, 2010 the Commission issued a formal notice of the NPPD 
Petition establishing a comment deadline of April 18, 2011. MRO also 
notes that the Southwest Power Pool Regional Entity filed a petition 
(SPP RE Petition) on March 31, 2010 in Docket No. RR11-1-001 and that 
the Commission issued a formal notice of the SPP RE Petition 
establishing a comment deadline on April 21, 2011, which is three days 
after responses are due to the NPPD Petition. MRO states that the NPPD 
Petition and the SPP RE Petition stem from a common set of facts, and 
SPP RE's Petition raises issues that are very similar to those in the 
NPPD Petition. MRO also states that the current three day difference 
between the comment deadlines for each petition creates the potential 
for procedural unfairness and prejudice to MRO, as well as any other 
prospective participant who may oppose both petitions.
    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of 
time for filing motions to intervene and comments concerning the NPPD 
Petition is granted to and including April 21, 2011.

    Dated: April 13, 2011.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
