DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP01-152-000]
Portland General Electric Company; Notice of Application
April 19, 2001.
On April 10, 2001, Portland General Electric Company (PGE), 121 SW
Salmon Street, 1WTC-1301, Portland, Oregon 97204, filed in Docket No.
CP01-152-000 an application, as supplemented on April 18, 2001,
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to construct and
operate delivery point facilities from its Kelso-Beaver Pipeline, in
Columbia County, Oregon to serve an electric generating plant currently
under construction, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The
filing may be viewed at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call
202-208-2222 for assistance).
PGE proposes to construct and operate a tap, meter facility and
appurtenant facilities on its Kelso-Beaver pipeline to permit
deliveries to its new 24.9 megawatt, gas-fired generating facility
currently under construction. PGE advises that the facilities will
permit the delivery of up to 7,000 dt on a peak day and up to 1,750,000
dt annually. PGE indicates that the electric generating facility could
be online by the summer of 2001. PGE estimates a construction cost of
$80,000, to be financed out of corporate funds.
Questions regarding the details of this proposal should be directed
to A.W. Turner, Assistant General Counsel, at (503) 464-8926, or in
writing to his attention at the above address.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before April 30, 2001, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NW., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding.
However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
Non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed
by other parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the
right to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
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 at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying a
certificate will be issued.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
