          -  [Docket No. ER08-650-000] 

Mountain Wind Power, LLC (Mountain Wind) filed an application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy and capacity at market-based rates. Mountain Wind also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, Mountain Wind requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Mountain Wind. 

                    On April 9, 2008, 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 Mountain Wind, 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                           ( print page 26109)                        Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004). The Commission encourages the electronic submission of protests using the FERC Online link at                     *http://www.ferc.gov.*

Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is May 9, 2008. 

Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket approvals by the deadline above, Mountain Wind 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 Mountain Wind, 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 Mountain Wind'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 Web site at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*, using the eLibrary link.

Comments, protests, and interventions may be filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-Filing” link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
