35062 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 106 / Thursday, June 1, 2000 / Notices

Washougal Compressor Station (C.S.) in

Clark County, Washington, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to the public inspection. The

application may be viewed on the web

at http://www.ferc.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

The proposed pipeline looping will

complete Northwest’s 30-inch mainline

loop between the Washougal C.S. and

the Chehalis C.S. Northwest proposes to

install the 260 feet of 30-inch pipeline

loop and appurtenances (including a pig

receiver and drip, a 2-inch dripline from

the pig receiver, and an access road to

the pig receiver) on existing permanent

right-of-way. The proposed facilities

will extend northwest from the outlet of

the existing Washougal C.S. to connect

with Northwest’s existing 30-inch

mainline loop. According to Northwest,

the completion of this final section of

loop will not increase the design

capacity of its mainline. However,

Northwest contends that the 30-inch

mainline loop will enhance the

reliability of service to its shippers and

will allow more flexible and efficient

operation of the Washougal C.S.

Northwest estimates that the cost of

the proposed facilities will be

approximately $938,000, of which

approximately $543,000 for the 30-inch

loop extension, and approximately

$395,000 for the associated auxiliary

facilities. Northwest requests expedited

Commission approval by August 1,

2000, so that the project can be

completed prior to the rainy season in

the Pacific Northwest. Northwest states

that since the proposed project is

designed to maintain reliability and

improve efficiency and flexibility,

application of the FERC’s Policy

Statement issued September 15, 1999 in

Docket No. PL99–3–000 dictates that all

project costs should be permitted rolledin treatment in Northwest’s next rate

case.

Any questions regarding this

application should be directed to Gary

Kotter, Certificates Manager for

Northwest, P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158–0900 at (801) 584–

7117, or Richard N. Stapler, Jr., Senior

Attorney, P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158–0900 at (801) 584–

7068.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 15,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, a

motion to intervene or a protest in

accordance with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214)

and the regulations under the Natural

Gas Act (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. The Commission’s

rules require that protestors provide

copies of their protests to the party or

parties directly involved. Any person

wishing to become a party to a

proceeding or to participate as a party

in any hearing therein 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 Commission and will

receive copies of all documents filed by

the Applicant and by every one of the

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

submit copies of comments or any other

filing it makes with the Commission to

every other intervenor in the

proceeding, as well as 14 copies with

the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

in order to have comments considered.

A person, instead, may submit two

copies of 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 or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

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 a grant of the

certificate 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 herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Northwest to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.

Commission

[Docket No. RP00–296–000]

South Georgia Natural Gas Company;

Request for Waiver of Filing Proposed

Changes to FERC Gas Tariff

May 25, 2000.

Take notice that on May 22, 2000,

South Georgia Natural Gas Company

(South Georgia) tendered for filing the

following request for a waiver of filing

revised sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff,

Second Revised Volume No. 1.

South Georgia states that the request

for waiver is submitted pursuant to

Section 19.2 of the General Terms and

Conditions of its Tariff to adjust its fuel

retention percentage (FRP) for all

transportation services on its system.

The derivation of the revised FRP is

based on South Georgia’s gas required

for operations (GRO) for the twelvemonth period ending April 30, 2000,

adjusted for the balance accumulated in

the Deferred GRO Account at the end of

said period, divided by the

transportation volumes received during

the same twelve-month period. In the

filing, South Georgia requests a waiver

due to the Stipulation and Agreement

(‘‘S&A’’) filed by Southern Natural Gas

Company (Southern Natural) on March

10, 2000 in Docket No. RP99–496.

The S&A proposes, upon

authorization of the Commission, South

Georgia will be terminated as a separate

pipeline company and South Georgia’s

facilities will be included in Southern

Natural’s system. Approval of the

stipulation by the Commission will

constitute approval by the Commission

of various certificate and abandonment

applications. The addition of the South

Georgia facilities to the Southern

Natural system will be made effective as

of the later of: (a) August 1, 2000; or (b)

the first day of the second month

following: (i) A final FERC order

approving the stipulation; and (ii) the

issuance of any other FERC

authorization that may be required. As

a result, South Georgia is requesting this

waiver of Section 19.2 of the General

Terms and Conditions of its Tariff to

postpone changing its FRP pending

approval of the S&A. Upon approval of

the S&A, South Georgia proposes to

true-up its fuel over or undercollection

for the period beginning May 1, 1999

and ending immediately prior to the

merger of South Georgia with Southern

Natural through a one time cash-out of

such over or undercollection.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed on or before

June 1, 2000. 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 proceedings. Any person wishing to

become a party must file a motion to

intervene. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room. This filing may

be viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call
