Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 91 /Tuesday, May 12, 1998 / Notices 26171

River in West Feliciana and Pointe

Coupee, Parishes, Louisiana. This new

pipe will replace an existing river

crossing of the same size on its Line 18,

currently located 75 feet north of the

proposed location for the replacement

crossing. Monitoring of the Mississippi

River bottom at this location indicates

significant scouring is occurring at the

existing crossing. The new facilities will

not increase the capacity of Texas

Eastern’s system. Texas Eastern states

that the new replacement facilities will

enable Texas Eastern to ensure the safe

and reliable operation of its system in

order to meet its contractual

requirements. The estimated total

capital cost of the proposed facilities is

approximately $8,415,000.

Texas Eastern requests approval of

this Application by December 1, 1998,

in order to construct the proposed

facilities during the 1999 summer

construction season.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process to make any protest

with reference to said application

should on or before May 27, 1998, file

with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

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 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 protestants parties to the

proceedings. 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. An

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

field 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 Natural Gas

Act and 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 a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely field, 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 Texas Eastern to appear

or be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Acting Secretary.
