[Docket No. CP00-65-001]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment

October 18, 2000.
    Take notice that on October 12, 2000, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511 Houston, Texas 77252, tendered for 
filing in Docket No. CP00-65-001 an amendment to its original 
application (Application) filed in that docket on December 30, 1999. 
Tennessee states that the purpose of the amendment is to notify the 
Commission of Tennessee's decision to switch from a natural gas turbin-
drive compressor to an electric motor-driven compressor. Tennessee 
indicates that the uprate of the 300-line as originally proposed with 
replacement of 6,600 additional feet of existing pipeline between MLV 
3341-1 and MLV 336 is no longer proposed. Two proposed new uprate 
activities are proposed as follows:
    <bullet> From 975 psig to 1170 psig between MLV 324-1A and MLV 329-
1;
    <bullet> From 867 psig to 1083 psig between MLV 329-1 and MLV 334-
1.
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before October 30, 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 385.214 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. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide 
copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the protests 
are directed. 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 Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the 
intervenors. All intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
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 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 Federal Energy 
Regulatory 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 
petition if no motion 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 requested exemption 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
