December 12, 2006.
    Locust Ridge Wind Farm, LLC (Locust Ridge) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate schedule. The 
proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale of energy, 
capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. Locust Ridge 
also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In 
particular, Locust Ridge requested that the Commission grant blanket 
approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and 
assumptions of liability by Locust Ridge.
    On December 12, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the 
requests 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 approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability by Locust Ridge 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 January 11, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Locust Ridge 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 Locust Ridge, 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 Locust Ridge's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
