they believe should be addressed in the

Draft EIS. A transcript of each meeting

will be made so that your comments

will be accurately recorded.

On the dates of the meetings, we will

also be conducting limited site visits to

the project area. Anyone interested in

participating in the site visit may

contact the Commission’s Office of

External Affairs identified at the end of

this notice for more details and must

provide their own transportation.

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EIS

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor.’’

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 3).

The date for filing of timely motions

to intervene in this proceeding has been

extended to January 4, 1998. After that

date, parties seeking to file late

interventions must show good cause, as

required by section 385.214(b)(3), why

this time limitation should be waived.

Environmental issues have been viewed

as good cause for late intervention. You

do not need intervenor status to have

your scoping comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

This notice is being sent to

individuals, organizations, and

government entities interested in and/or

potentially affected by the proposed

project. It is also being sent to all

identified potential right-of-way

grantors. As details of the project

become established, representatives of

Voyageur may also separately contact

landowners, communities, and public

agencies concerning project matters,

including acquisition of permits and

rights-of-way.

All commentors will be retained on

our mailing list. If you do not want to

send comments at this time but still

want to keep informed and receive

copies of the Draft and Final EIS, you

must return the Information Request

(appendix 4). If you do not send

comments or return the Information

Request, you will be taken off the

mailing list.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Paul

McKee in the Commission’s Office of

External Affairs at (202) 208–1088.
