Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review 

and discuss existing conditions and 

resource management objectives; (3) 

review and discuss existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; (4) review and discuss 

the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time

extent possible, maximizes coordination 

of Federal, State, and Tribal permitting 

and certification processes; and (5) 

discuss the appropriateness of any 

Federal or State agency or Indian Tribe 

acting as a cooperating agency for 

development of an environmental 

document.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. QF09–261–000] 

Lafarge Midwest, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

of Notice of Self-Certification of 

Qualifying Status of a Cogeneration 

Facility 

March 17, 2009. 

Take notice that on March 11, 2009, 

Lafarge Midwest, Inc., of 1435 Ford 

Avenue, Alpena, MI 49707 filed with 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) a notice of 

self-certification of a facility as a 

qualifying cogeneration facility, 

pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the 

Commission’s regulations. 

The facility produces cement as its 

primary activity. Waste heat from this 

process is used to create steam, which 

serves as the primary energy source for 

the production of electricity. Five 

turbines are driven by the steam; each 

turbine is linked to a generator. The 

combined nameplate capacity of the 

cogeneration facility is 48.75 MW. 

Excess power results from the 

aforesaid cogeneration process will be 

sold to Alpena Power Company, which 

is interconnected with the Qualifying 

Facility. 

A notice of self-certification does not 

institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status; a notice of selfcertification provides notice that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the Facility meets the applicable criteria 

to be a qualifying facility. Any person 

seeking to challenge such qualifying 

facility status may do so by filing a 

motion pursuant to 18 CFR 

292.207(d)(iii). 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail
