1 18 CFR 385.214 (2006). 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission 

and approval to abandon Southern 

Star’s Cement-Drumright line comprised 

of approximately 40.83 miles of 12-inch 

and 16-inch diameter pipeline and 

appurtenances located in Grady and 

Comanche Counties, Oklahoma, by sale 

to DCP Midstream, LP. Southern Star 

further requests that the Commission 

find the facilities, when sold, as exempt 

from the Commission’s jurisdiction 

pursuant to section 1(b) of the NGA, all 

as more fully set forth in the application 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open to public inspection. 

Southern Star states that the facilities 

were originally constructed to support 

its former merchant function and 

provide mainline transmission, but in 

more recent years has only served to 

gather gas from local producers and 

provided limited gas service to various 

parties along the system, which will 

continue upon the transfer of the 

facilities to DCP Midstream, LP. 

This filing is available for review at 

the Commission in the Public Reference 

Room or may be viewed on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Any initial questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Tim 

Thompson, Attorney, Southern Star

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, on or before the comment date 

stated below, 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). 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. 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. The 

Commission’s rules require that persons 

filing comments in opposition to the 

project provide copies of their protests 

only to the applicant. However, the nonparty 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. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the internet in lieu 

of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site under the 

‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

[Project No. 2576–083] 

Northeast Generation Company; 

Notice Granting Late Intervention 

May 10, 2007. 

On August 2, 2006, the Commission 

issued a notice of application soliciting 

comments, motions to intervene, and 

protest for the Housatonic River 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2576, located 

on the Housatonic River, in Fairfield, 

Litchfield, and New Haven Counties, 

Connecticut. The notice established 

September 1, 2006, as the deadline for 

filing motions to intervene in the 

proceeding. 

On September 8, 2006, the 

Candlewood Lake Authority filed a late 

motion to intervene in the proceeding. 

Granting the late motion to intervene 

will not unduly delay or disrupt the 

proceeding, or prejudice other parties to 

it. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 214,1 the 

late motion to intervene filed by the 

Candlewood Lake Authority is granted, 

subject to the Commission’s rules and 

regulations. 

Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary.
