Weyerhaeuser Company

accompanying rate schedule. The
proposed market-based rate schedule
provides for the sale of energy and
capacity at market-based rates.
Weyerhaeuser also requested waivers of
various Commission regulations. In
particular, Weyerhaeuser requested that
the Commission grant blanket approval
under 18 CFR part 34 of all future
issuances of securities and assumptions
of liability by Weyerhaeuser
On May 26, 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
Weyerhaeuser 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 November 15, 2006.
Absent a request to be heard in
opposition by the deadline above,
Weyerhaeuser 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 Weyerhaeuser, 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 Weyerhaeuser’s issuance of
securities or assumptions of liability.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Project No. 11068–006 California]
Orange Cove Irrigation District; Notice
of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
October 16, 2006.
An environmental assessment (EA) is
available for public review. The EA was
prepared for an application filed by the
Orange Cove Irrigation District
(licensee) on April 19, 2006, requesting
Commission approval of an amendment
of license for the Fishwater Release
Project to add a powerhouse with a
single turbine generator with a capacity
of 1.8 megawatts. The new powerhouse
would utilize flow releases from the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Friant
Dam and would only generate power
after flows for fish hatchery and existing
powerhouse demands are met.
The EA evaluates the environmental
impacts that would result from
approving the licensee’s proposed
additional generating capacity. Some
ground disturbance would occur but
impacts to the terrestrial and aquatic
environments are expected to be minor
and short term. The EA finds that
approval of the amendment application
would not constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is attached to a
Commission order titled ‘‘Order
Amending License’’, issued October 13,
2006, and is available in the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
A copy of the EA may also be viewed
