or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Questions regarding this application should be directed to Mark R.

Washington, DC 20004 or by calling 202-739-3000 or by e-mailing 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f69b9e97859d939a9ab69b99849197989a93819f85d895999b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="97fafff6e4fcf2fbfbd7faf8e5f0f6f9fbf2e0fee4b9f4f8fa">[email protected]</span></a>.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, within 90 days 
of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its 
environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's public 
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental 
Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the 
anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final 
environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The 
filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding 
or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will 
serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the 
completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to 
complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of 
issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    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 stated below, 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 seven 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 who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, 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, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on December 20, 2010.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
