Tuscarora Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Application

June 5, 2000.

Take notice that on May 31, 2000,

Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company

(Tuscarora), 1575 Delucchi Lane, Suite

225, Reno, Nevada 89520–3057, filed in

Docket No. CP00–373–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations,

for a certificate of public convenience

and necessity authorizing Tuscarora to

construct, own, operate, and maintain

facilities in order to provide up to

10,000 dth per day of additional firm

transportation for Sierra Pacific Power

Company (SPPC), all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection. The filing may be

viewed at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Specifically, Tuscarora proposes to

construct a new 16.4 mile, 16-inch

diameter lateral (Hungry Valley Lateral)

extending from its mainline at milepost

205.9 in Hungry Valley, Nevada to a city

gate to be constructed by SPPC in

Lemmon Valley, Nevada. Tuscarora also

proposes to construct a new meter

station and valve assemblies in Golden

Valley, Nevada. All of the facilities will

be located in Washoe County, Nevada.

Tuscarora estimates that the proposed

facilities will cost approximately $10.2

million. Tuscarora states that the

additional mainline capacity will result

from an increase in its receipt pressure

from PG&E Gas Transmission-Northwest

Corporation from 700 psig to 825 psig.

Tuscarora proposes to charge Sierra

Pacific its existing Part 284 firm

transportation rate.

Any questions regarding this

application should be directed to

Gregory L. Galbraith, Tuscarora Gas

Transmission Company, 1575 Delucchi

Lane, Suite 225, P.O. Box 30057, Reno,

Nevada 89520–3057, call (775)–834–

4292, or fax (775)–834–3886.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 26,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 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

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations

under the NGA (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 Secretary of 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,

however, 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 the

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

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory 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 provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Tuscarora to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.

of liability by Worthington.

On May 31, 2000, pursuant to

delegated authority, the Director,

Division of Corporate Applications,

Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates,

granted requests for blanket approval

under Part 34, subject to the following:

Within thirty days of the date of the

order, any person desiring to be heard

or to protest the blanket approval of

public interest, and is reasonably

necessary or appropriate for such

purposes.

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be

adversely affected by continued

approval of Worthington’s issuances of

securities or assumptions of liability.
