These filings are available for review

offices or may be viewed on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov the ‘‘e-Library’’ link. Enter 

the docket number, excluding the last 

three digits, in the docket number field 

to access the document. For assistance, 

please contact FERC Online Support at 

FERCOnlinesupport@ferc.gov or 

Telephone: 202–502–6652; Toll-free: 1–

866–208–3676; or for TTY, contact (202) 

502–8659. 

Any questions regarding these 

applications should be directed to James

Texas 78248, or phone at (210)764–

8642. 

On June 6, 2005, the Commission staff 

granted Sonora’s request to utilize the 

Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket 

No. PF05–15–000 to staff activities 

involving Sonora’s project. Now, as of 

the filing of Sonora’s applications on 

January 31, 2007, the Pre-Filing Process 

for this project has officially concluded. 

And while the PF Docket Number is 

now closed, all of the information 

contained in the Pre-Filing Process will 

become part of the proceeding. From 

this time forward, Sonora’s proceeding 

will be conducted in Docket Nos. CP07–

74–000, CP07–75–000, CP07–76–000, 

and CP07–77–000 as noted in the 

caption of this Notice. All future 

correspondence should refer to these CP 

docket numbers only. 

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this Project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceeding for this project should 

file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 

intervene 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) by the 

comment date, below. A person 

obtaining party 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 all other parties. A 

party must submit 14 copies of filings 

made with the Commission and must 

mail a copy to the applicant and to 

every other party in the proceeding. 

Only parties to the proceeding can ask 

for court review of Commission orders 

in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene to have comments considered. 

The second way to participate is by 

filing with the Secretary of the 

Commission, as soon as possible, an 

original and two copies of comments in 

support of or in opposition to this 

project and/or associated pipeline. The 

Commission will consider these 

comments in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but the 

filing of a comment alone will not serve 

to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. The Commission’s rules 

require that persons filing comments in 

opposition to the project provide copies 

of their protests only to the party or 

parties directly involved in the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

Protests and interventions may be 

filed electronically via the Internet in 

lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 

285.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 

on the Commission’s Web site under the 

‘‘e-filing’’ link. The Commission 

strongly encourages electronic filings.
