including: providing service to new

executed service agreements with

application should on or before

November 13, 2000, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street NE., Washington, DC

20426, a motion to intervene or protest

in accordance with the requirements of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214) and the regulations under the

NGA (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 in any proceeding must

file a motion to intervene in accordance

with the Commission’s rules. Beginning

November 1, 2000, comments and

protests may be filed electronically via

the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the

instructions of the Commission’s web

doorbell.htm.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents issued by the

Commission, filed by the applicant, or

filed by all other intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must serve

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as filing an original and 14 copies

with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit an original and two copies of

such comments to the Secretary of the

Commission. Commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, 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 other 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 intervenor 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

NGA 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 motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that the proposal is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a 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 for, unless

otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Algonquin to appear or

to be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
