mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
June 25, 2008.
Great Bay Power Marketing, Inc.
(GBPM) filed an application for marketbased rate authority, with an
accompanying tariff. The proposed
market-based rate tariff provides for the
sale of capacity and energy at marketbased rates. GBPM also requested
waivers of various Commission
regulations. In particular, GBPM
requested that the Commission grant
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34
of all future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liability by GBPM.
On December 3, 2002, pursuant to
delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market
Development-South, 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 GBPM, 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
Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214
(2004). The Commission encourages the
electronic submission of protests using

the FERC Online link at https://

Notice is hereby given that the
deadline for filing protests is July 8,
2008.
Absent a request to be heard in
opposition to such blanket approvals by
the deadline above, GBPM 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 GBPM,
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 GBPM’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
