[Docket No. CP01–8–000]

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

October 20, 2000.

Take notice that on October 10, 2000,

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court,

P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251–

1642, filed in Docket No. CP01–8–000

an application pursuant to the

provisions of Section 7 of the Natural

Gas Act for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity authorizing

the leasing of capacity on Algonquin

Gas Transmission Company’s

(Algonquin) system all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection. This filing may be

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call

202–208–2222 for assistance).

Specially, Texas Eastern seeks

authorization to lease 80,000 Dth per

day of capacity on Algonquin’s system.

The leased capacity will extend from

the interconnection near Beverly,

Massachusetts between Algonquin’s

proposed facilities in Docket No. CP01–

5–000 and the facilities proposed by

Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.

(Maritimes & Northeast) in Docket No.

CP01–4–000 to the existing

interconnection between Texas Eastern

and Algonquin in Lambertville, New

Jersey. The term of the lease is for 20

years and the lease will commence on

November 1, 2002 which coincides with

the in-service dates of the proposed

Algonquin and Maritimes & Northeast

facilities.

The fixed monthly lease payment

under the lease agreement is $559,360.

In addition, Texas Eastern will pay a

volumetric charge equal to the

maximum commodity charge applicable

to Rate Schedule AFT–1 per dekatherm

delivered at Lambertville. Algonquin

states that the monthly lease payment is

less than the maximum recourse rate

and thus meets Commission standards

for lease payments. Texas Eastern states

that the leased capacity will provide

certain firm hourly swing rights. In

addition, Texas Eastern states that the

capacity rights will further the goals of

Order No. 637 by enhancing Texas

Eastern’s ability to provide imbalance

management services on its system and

mitigate the need to issue operational

flow orders.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Steven

E. Tillman, Director of Regulatory

Affairs, Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation, P.O. Box 1642, Houston,

Texas 77251–1642 at 713–627–5113.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

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 on the Commission’s web

site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/

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 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 208 / Thursday, October 26, 2000 / Notices 64215

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 provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Texas Eastern to appear

or to be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
