Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 27, 2000 / Notices 39611

1 In order to permit UtilityCo to construct, own,

and operate its pro rata share of any additional

facilities that may be added to the Blanco Hub,

UtilityCo requests the Commission grant UtiliyCo

the same limited blanket authorization that was

granted to PNM. See 59 FERC at 62,493.

2On June 13, 2000, PNM and UtilityCo

concurrently filed a joint application in Docket No.

CP00–388–000 requesting among other things a

blanket certificate for UtilityCo authorizing it to

transport and sell natural gas in interstate

commerce pursuant to sections 311 and 312 of the

Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA).

UtilityCo, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and which is open to the

public for inspection. The filing may be

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

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Applicants state their filing is being

made in connection with the corporate

reorganization of Public Service

Company of New Mexico mandated by

the state of New Mexico’s Electric

Utility Industry Restructuring Act of

1999 (Restructuring Act). Applicants

further state the purpose and

substantive effect of their proposals will

be to permit the PNM corporate family

to continue to conduct the same

business activity previously authorized

by the Commission but using new

corporate entities required by the

Restructuring Act. Thus, UtilityCo is not

seeking in Docket No. CP00–387–000

any authorizations that are different

from those currently held by PNM. In

addition, the applicants state that there

will be no change in rates charged by

UtilityCo.

Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the NGA

and Part 157 of the Commission’s

Regulations, PNM seeks approval to

abandon by sale and conveyance to

UtilityCo its one-third interest in the

Blanco Hub facilities. At the same time,

UtilityCo requests that the Commission

grant it a certificate of public

convenience and necessity asserting

only limited jurisdiction over

UtilityCo’s acquired interest in the

Blanco Hub. The filing indicates that

UtilityCo will acquire this interest at net

book value. In addition, PNM requests

that the Commission: (1) Determine that

UtilityCo may own and use its share of

the Blanco Hub without jeopardizing its

Hinshaw exemption; (2) authorize

UtilityCo to participate in any

additional construction or changes that

Northwest and Transwestern are

authorized to make under their

respective blanket authorizations to the

same extent as if UtilityCo held such

blanket authorization; 1 and (3) waive all

reporting, filing, and accounting

requirements that normally apply to

natural gas companies to the extent

UtilityCo uses its interest in the

facilities for transportation or sales

under either its Subpart G blanket

certificate or its marketing certificate.2

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 10,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 and

385.211). 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

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 filings

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as an original and 14 copies with

the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have

environmental 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 Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission by

Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act

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 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 Applicants to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
