Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, for authority to (1) replace a 4.7-
mile section of an existing 14-inch mainline pipe with 30-inch pipe in

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 the comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 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.
Persons may wish to comment only on the environmental review of
these projects. Environmental commenters will be placed on the
Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents issued by the Commission, and will be notified
of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review
process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies
of filed documents on all other parties. However, environmental
commenters are also not parties to the proceeding and will not receive
copies of all documents filed by other parties or nonenvironmental
documents issued by the Commission. They will not have the right to
seek court review of the Commission's final order. Concidentally with
this Notice of Application, the Commission is issuing a notice
regarding the environmental comment process. This notice describes the
comment procedures and comment deadline.
The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-
environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the
environmental aspects of the project. This preliminary determination
typically considers such issues as the need for the project and its
economic effect on existing customers of the applicant, on other
pipelines in the area, and on landowners and communities. For example,
the Commission considers the extent to which the applicant may need to
exercise eminent domain to obtain rights-of-way for the proposed
project and balances that against the non-environmental benefits to be
provided by the project. Therefore, if a person has comments on
community and landowner impacts from this proposal, it is important
either to file comments or to intervene as early in the process as
possible.
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.

Secretary.
