28482 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 97 / Monday, May 21, 2007 / Notices 

4See, e.g., Northeast Hydrodevelopment 

Corporation, 42 FERC ¶ 61,066 n. 6 (1988) (the 

Commission does not consider information an 

applicant submits on rehearing of staff’s dismissal 

of the application, since the issue before the 

Commission is whether the staff’s dismissal was 

appropriate). See also, e.g., Koch Gateway Pipeline 

Company, 75 FERC ¶ 61,132 at 61,456 (1996) 

(explaining general policy against receipt of 

additional information on rehearing). 

5Furthermore, the new maps did not cure the 

deficiencies in Rainier’s permit application in that 

they do not include a project boundary that 

encloses all project features, including the reservoir, 

and they do not delineate all project features, 

including the project’s dam, intake structure, and 

transmission line, as section 4.81(d) of the 

Commission’s regulations requires. 

6The August 10, 2006 notice of Mr. Hanson’s 

application required the filing of competing permit 

applications by 30 days following October 10, 2006, 

i.e., by Thursday, November 9, 2006. Rainier filed 

its competing application after business hours on 

November 9, 2006. Under 18 CFR 385.2001(c)(2) 

(2006), any document received after regular 

business hours is considered filed on the next 

business day. Since Friday, November 10, 2006, 

was a holiday, the next business day was Monday, 

November 13, 2006. 

7Finally, Rainier filed its application 

electronically, which is prohibited by 18 CFR 

385.2003(c)(1)(i) (2006), since preliminary permit 

applications are not included among the documents 

that are qualified for electronic filing. 

In any event, the submission of 

additional factual evidence in a request 

for rehearing is contrary to Commission 

policy,4 so Rainier’s newly-submitted 

maps would not have been accepted to 

reverse staff’s rejection of the 

application.5

It appears moreover that Rainier late 

filed 6 its permit application 7 in 

competition with the preliminary 

permit application filed by Don L. 

Hansen in Project No. 12685. 

This notice constitutes final agency 

action. Request for rehearing this 

rejection notice must be filed within 30 

days of the date of issuance of this 

notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713 

(2006).

May 14, 2007. 

Take notice that on April 30, 2007, 

Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies 

Express), 370 Van Gordon Street, 

Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed an 

application in Docket No. CP07–208–

000, pursuant to section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of 

the Commission’s regulations requesting 

a certificate of public convenience and 

necessity to construct certain pipeline 

facilities, referred to as the REX-East 

Project, to extend Rockies Express’

certificated system eastward from its 

terminus in Audrain County, Missouri 

to Monroe County, Ohio and to increase 

the transportation capacity of its system 

from 1,500,000 Dth per day to 1,800,000 

Dth per day, all as more fully set forth 

in the application which is on file with 

the Commission and open for public 

inspection. 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.

Specifically, Rockies Express requests 

authorization to construct: (1) 638 miles 

of 42-inch pipeline in Audrain, Ralls, 

and Pike Counties, Missouri; Pike, Scott, 

Morgan, Sangamon, Christian, Macon, 

Moultrie, Douglas and Edgar Counties, 

Illinois; Vermillion, Parke, Putnam, 

Hendricks, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, 

Decatur, and Franklin Counties, 

Indiana; and Butler, Warren, Clinton, 

Greene, Fayette, Pickaway, Fairfield, 

Perry, Morgan, Muskingum, Guernsey, 

Noble, Belmont, and Monroe Counties, 

Ohio; and (2) a total of approximately 

236,000 horsepower of compression at 

seven new compressor stations in 

Carbon County, Wyoming; Phelps 

County, Nebraska; Audrain County, 

Missouri; Christian County, Illinois; 

Putnam County, Indiana; Butler County, 

Ohio; and Muskingum County, Ohio. 

The cost of the project is 

approximately $2.2 billion. Rockies 

Express proposes to establish a new rate 

zone—Zone 3—consisting of all 

facilities located east of the terminus of 

Rockies Express’ certificated facilities in 

Audrain County, Missouri. Further, 

Rockies Express requests a 

determination of rolled-in rate treatment 

for certain compression facilities located 

in existing Zone 1 and Zone 2. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Robert 

F. Harrington, Vice President—

Regulatory, Rockies Express Pipeline 

LLC, P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, 

Colorado 80228–8304, phone (303)763–

3581. 

On June 13, 2006, the Commission 

staff granted Rockies Express’ request to 

utilize the Commission’s Pre-Filing 

Process and assigned Docket No. PF06–

30–000 to staff activities involving the 

Rockies Express REX-East Project. Now, 

as of the filing of Rockies Express’

application on April 30, 2007, the PreFiling Process for this project has ended. 

From this time forward, Rockies 

Express’ proceeding will be conducted 

in Docket No. CP07–208–000, as noted 

in the caption of this Notice. 

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. 

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest this filing must file in 

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 

385.214). Protests will be considered by 

the Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. Such notices, motions, or 

protests must be filed on or before the 

comment date. Anyone filing a motion 

to intervene or protest must serve a copy 

of that document on the Applicant. On 

or before the comment date, it is not 

necessary to serve motions to intervene 

or protests on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order 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 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 97 / Monday, May 21, 2007 / Notices 28483 

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. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper using the 

‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC.
