costs of the proposed Phase II facilities

is $119.6 million. Transco states that the

initial recourse rate for Phase I

MarketLink service is a separately stated

incremental monthly reservation rate of

$11.9394 per dt. According to Transco,

the initial recourse rate will be revised

recourse rates are based upon a straightfixed variable rate design.

Transco further states that the

MarketLink shippers will also be

charged fuel retention, electric power,

and other applicable surcharges

applicable under Transco’s Rate

Schedule FT, as approved by the

Commission from time to time. The

electric power unit rate and fuel

retention will be the generally

applicable levels under Rate Schedule

FT for Transco’s Rate Zone 6.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

Application should on or before October

16, 2000, file with the Federal Energy

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 18 CFR

385.214) and the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All

protests filed with the Commission will

be considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Commission and will

receive copies of all documents issued

by the Commission, filed by the

intervenors. An intervenor can file for

rehearing of any Commission order and

can petition for court review of any such

order. However, and intervenor must

submit copies of comments or any other

filing it makes with the Commission to

every other intervenor in the

proceeding, as well as 14 copies with

the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of comments to

Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

listing, will receive copies of

environmental documents and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

parties. However, commenters will not

receive copies of all documents filed by

other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervener status.

Take further notice that pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the Jurisdiction conferred upon the

Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the

Natural Gas Act and the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure, a

hearing will be held without further

notice before the Commission or its

designee on this Application if no

petition to intervene is filed within the

time required herein, if the Commission

on its own review of the matter finds

that a grant of the abandonment is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a petition for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission, on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Transco to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
