responsibilities. The list of agencies is

provided in appendix 2.2

On the above dates we will also be

conducting limited site visits to the

project area in the vicinity of each

scoping meeting location. 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

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EIS

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceedings, known as 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 on the

Commission’s service lists for these

proceedings. 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 these proceedings has

passed, having ended January 29, 1997.

Therefore, parties now 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. However, 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 and/or

potentially affected by the proposed

project.

Anyone offering scoping comments

will be automatically kept on our

environmental mailing list for this

project. If you do not want to offer

comments at this time but still want to

keep informed and receive copies of the

Draft and Final EISs, please return the

Environmental Mailing List Information

(appendix 4). If you do not return the

card 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.
