Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed
Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, To Amend Rule 7.35C

May 10, 2021.
    On October 23, 2020, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule

19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to: (1) Provide the
Exchange the authority to facilitate a Trading Halt Auction if a
security has not reopened following a Level 1 or Level 2 trading halt
due to extraordinary market volatility under Rule 7.12 (``MWCB Halt'')
by 3:30 p.m.; (2) widen the Auction Collar for an Exchange-facilitated
Trading Halt Auction following an MWCB Halt; (3) provide that certain
DMM Interest would not be cancelled following an Exchange-facilitated
Auction; and (4) change the Auction Reference Price for Exchange-
facilitated Core Open Auctions. The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on November 12 2020.\3\ On December
18, 2020, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the Commission
designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule
change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings
to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change to February
10, 2020.\5\ On February 5, 2021, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to
the proposed rule change which replaced and superseded the proposed
rule change in its entirety.\6\ On February 10, 2021, the Commission
published notice of Amendment No. 1 and instituted proceedings pursuant
to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \7\ to determine whether to approve
or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No.
1.\8\ On March 17, 2021, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the
proposed rule change, which replaced and superseded the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, in its entirety.\9\ The
Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

proposed changes from the original proposal, as modified by
Amendment No. 1. Specifically, the Exchange removed the proposed
changes to make permanent the temporary rules pertaining to: (i)
Permitting the CEO to determine that the Exchange will facilitate a
Trading Halt Auction in one or more securities following a MWCB Halt
if the security has not reopened by 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and (ii)
establishing wider Auction Collars for Trading Halt Auctions

The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order approving or
disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not more than 60

and publishes the reasons for such determination. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on November 12

Amendment No. 2. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\12\ designates July 10, 2021, as the date by which

Invenergy Cannon Falls, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

January 8, 2007.
    Invenergy Cannon Falls, LLC (Invenergy) filed an application for
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed
market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy, capacity and
ancillary at market-based rates. Invenergy also requested waivers of
various Commission regulations. In particular, Invenergy requested that
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by
Invenergy.
    On January 5, 2007, 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
Invenergy 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 February 5, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
Invenergy 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
Invenergy, 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 Invenergy'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. Enter the

docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number

Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment

date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket

related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the

same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to

make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to

intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the

Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,

interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline

need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.

    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of

self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not

institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice

of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides

notification that the entity making the filing has determined the

facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a

qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets

that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-

recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying

facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR

292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to

notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications

and self-recertifications.

    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and

interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
