    Equilon Enterprises LLC dba Shell Oil Products US--Los Angeles QF, 
Equilon Enterprises LLC DBA Shell Oil Products US--Martinez QF, Shell 
Chemical LP and Motiva Enterprises LLC (Shell Companies) 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. The 
Shell Companies also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, the Shell Companies requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by the Shell 
Companies.
    On May 22, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the request 
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 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by the 
Shell Companies 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 June 21, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
the Shell Companies 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 the Shell Companies, 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 approval of the Shell Companies' issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
