62342 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 18, 2000 / Notices

Northern states the compressor Unit

#9 at its Sunray Compressor Station,

proposed to be abandoned in this

application, has not been in use for

several years and is no longer needed

because its system has undergone

changes in its operating configuration

since the unit was initially installed.

Northern asserts that the abandonment

of these facilities will not result in the

abandonment of service to any of

Northern’s existing shippers, nor will

the proposed abandonment adversely

affect capacity since the compression is

no longer needed to meet current firm

service obligations. Northern also

asserts minimal environmental impact.

Any questions regarding this

application should be directed to Keith

L. Petersen, Director, Certificates and

Reporting for Northern, 1111 South

103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at

(402) 398–7421, or Don Vignaroli,

Regulatory Analyst, at (402) 398–7139.

Any person desiring to be heard or

any person desiring to make any protest

with reference to said application may,

within 45 days after the issuance of the

instant notice by the Commission, file

with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, a

motion to intervene or a protest 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 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 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.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedures, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission on this application if no

protest or motion to intervene is filed

within the time required herein. At that

time, the Commission, on its own

review of the matter, will determine

whether the public convenience and

necessity require granting the

Abandonment. If a protest or motion 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

Northern to appear or to be represented

at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
