Beth L. Webb, attorney for Iroquois,

Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky,

LLP, 2101 L Street NW, Washington, DC

20037 at 202–785–9700.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 30,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street

NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to

intervene or protest in accordance with

the requirements of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.211 and 385.214) and the

regulations under the NGSA (18 CFR

157.10). All protests filed with the

Commission will be considered by it in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken but will not serve to make the

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

in any proceeding must file a motion to

intervene in accordance with the

Commission’s rules.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents issued by the

Commission, filed by the applicant, or

filed by all other intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must serve

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as filing an original and 14 copies

with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of such comments to

the Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents, and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, 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 rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a Federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters of those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the

NGA and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that the proposal is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Iroquois to appear or to

be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
