n. Scoping Process. 

The Commission intends to prepare 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) on 

the project in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act. The 

EA will consider both site-specific and 

cumulative environmental impacts and 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action. 

Scoping Meetings 

FERC staff will conduct one agency 

scoping meeting and one public 

meeting. The agency scoping meeting 

will focus on resource agency and nongovernmental organization (NGO) 

concerns, while the public scoping 

meeting is primarily for public input. 

All interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

and to assist the staff in identifying the 

scope of the environmental issues that 

should be analyzed in the EA. The times 

and locations of these meetings are as 

follows: 

Agency Scoping Meeting 

Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2009. 

Time: 9 a.m. (EST) 

Place: Saluda Shoals Park 

Auditorium.

Time: 6:30 p.m. (EST) 

Place: Saluda Shoals Park 

Auditorium. 

Address: 5065 Bush River Road,

Copies of the Scoping Document 

(SD1) outlining the subject areas to be 

addressed in the EA were distributed to 

the parties on the Commission’s mailing 

list. Copies of the SD1 will be available 

at the scoping meeting or may be 

viewed on the Web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link 

(see item m above). 

Site Visit 

The Applicant and FERC staff will 

conduct a project site visit beginning at 

9 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, April 7, 2009. 

All interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend. All participants should meet 

at the Saluda Project powerhouse, 6428 

Bush River Road, Columbia, SC 29212. 

Those individuals wishing to participate 

in the site visit should notify William 

Argentieri of their intent and provide 

their name, address, and social security 

number no later than Tuesday, March 

31, 2009. All participants are 

responsible for their own transportation 

to the site and lunch. Anyone with 

questions about the site visit (or needing 

directions) should contact William 

Argentieri at (803) 217–9162 or by email at bargentieri@scana.com. 

Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, the staff will: 

(1) Summarize the environmental issues 

tentatively identified for analysis in the 

EA; (2) solicit from the meeting 

participants all available information, 

especially quantifiable data, on the 

resources at issue; (3) encourage 

statements from experts and the public 

on issues that should be analyzed in the 

EA, including viewpoints in opposition 

to, or in support of, the staff’s 

preliminary views; (4) determine the 

resource issues to be addressed in the 

EA; and (5) identify those issues that 

require a detailed analysis, as well as 

those issues that do not require a 

detailed analysis. 

Procedures 

The meetings are recorded by a 

stenographer and become part of the 

formal record of the Commission 

proceeding on the project. 

Individuals, organizations, and 

agencies with environmental expertise 

and concerns are encouraged to attend 

the meeting and to assist the staff in 

defining and clarifying the issues to be 

addressed in the EA.

[Docket No. CP06–76–005] 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Motion To Vacate 

March 17, 2009. 

Take notice that on February 9, 2009, 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer Court, 

Houston, Texas 77056–5310, filed in 

Docket No. CP07–76–005, a motion to 

vacate a portion of the certificate 

authority granted on December 21, 

2006 1 allowing Algonquin to construct, 

install, own, operate, and maintain 

certain facilities, known as the Ramapo 

Expansion Project. Algonquin states that 

because of the change in primary receipt 

point for the KeySpan firm 

transportation capacity from the 

Cheshire compressor station to the 

Brookfield Meter Station, the rebuild of 

the existing Mars 90 turbine (12,600 HP) 

at the Stony Point Station to a Mars 100 

turbine (15,000 HP) will not be required. 

The motion is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. This filing is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Steven 

E. Hellman, Associate General Counsel, 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC, 5400 

Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, 

Houston, Texas 77251–1642, phone 

(713) 627–5215. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

Algonquin’s request. First, any person 

wishing to obtain legal status by 

becoming a party to the proceedings for 

this project should, on or before the 

comment date stated below, file with 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 

intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A 

person obtaining party 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 all other 

parties. A party must submit 14 copies 

of filings made with the Commission 

and must mail a copy to the applicant 

and to every other party in the 

proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to East Tennessee’s project. The 

Commission will consider these 

comments in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but the 

filing of a comment alone will not serve 

to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. The Commission’s rules 

require that persons filing comments in 

opposition to the project provide copies 

of their protests only to the party or 

parties directly involved in the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only in 

support of or in opposition to East 

Tennessee’s request should submit an 

original and two copies of their 

comments to the Secretary of the 

Commission. The Commission’s rules 

require that persons filing comments in 

opposition to the project provide copies 

of their protests only to the applicant. 

However, the non-party 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 court review of the 

Commission’s final order.
