identifies a process, tools, models, and

protocols that decisionmakers may use

to manage, assess, and communicate

risks associated with military

munitions, UXO, and other constituents

at closed, transferred, and transferring

ranges. This process resembles the riskbased decisionmaking process under

CERCLA and the National Contingency

Plan (NCP).

The Final R3M will refine the

procedures in the Interim R3M and will

contain the additional elements

necessary to complete the range

response process. Specifically, the Final

R3M will address Recurring Reviews

and Administrative Close-out, two of

the response phases spelled out in the

DoD Range Rule, which are not fully

developed in the Interim R3M.

an application pursuant to Section 7(c)

of the Natural Gas Act and Section

Regulations. Bangor requested a finding

that it is exempt from Commission

certificate of public convenience and

necessity for authorization to transport

natural gas in interstate commerce as

though it were an intrastate pipeline as

which is on file with the Commission

Bangor is a local distribution

the State of Maine. The Maine Public

Utilities Commission (‘‘MPUC’’)

areas to be served by Bangor

immediately following construction of

its natural gas pipeline and related

facilities. Bangor expects to commence

natural gas service in the City of Bangor,

Bangor will interconnect with the

interstate pipeline facilities of

Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline,

L.L.C. (Maritimes Pipeline) within the

State of Maine at a point in Veasie,

Maine, near the City of Bangor and will

transport gas from this point to

distribute the gas to customer service

to its customers is expected to be

obtained through the interconnection

with Maritimes Pipeline and all of the

gas so obtained will be consumed

Eastern Shore states that Section 31,

‘‘Fuel Retention Adjustment’’, specifies

that, with no less than thirty (30) days

prior notice, Eastern Shore shall file

for the cost of its Gas Required for

Operations (GRO) which consists of (a)

gas used for compressor fuel and (b) gas

otherwised used, lost or unaccounted

dividing such quantity by the

transportation quantities received by

Eastern Shore for the corresponding

twelve (12) month period.

its filing, Eastern Shore’s calculated FRP

is .1%, which is a decrease of .2% from

the current FRP in effect.
