pursuant to § 203 of the Federal Power

Act, 16 U.S.C. § 824b, and Part 33 of the

Rules and Regulations of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission), tendered for filing an

amendment to the application for an

order from the Commission authorizing

the merger of Toledo Edison into

Cleveland Electric.

The Applicants are public utilities

organized and existing under the laws of

the State of Ohio, and both Applicants

are engaged in the business of supplying

electric energy to wholesale and retail

customers within the State of Ohio.

Cleveland Electric generates, transmits,

distributes and sells electric energy to

approximately 748,000 customers in

Northeastern Ohio. Toledo Edison

generates, transmits, distributes and

sells electric energy to approximately

285,000 customers in Northwestern

Ohio. Cleveland Electric’s and Toledo

Edison’s operations are subject to

regulation by The Public Utilities

Commission of Ohio. Centerior Energy

Corporation (Centerior), which is

organized and existing under the laws of

the State of Ohio, is the 100% owner of

the common stock of both Cleveland

Electric and Toledo Edison. Each of

Cleveland Electric and Toledo Edison

has outstanding serial preferred shares

that are held by the public.

Under the terms and conditions of a

definitive Agreement of Merger entered

into by Cleveland Electric and Toledo

Edison, 100% of the common shares of

Toledo Edison will be converted into

newly-issued common shares of

Cleveland Electric, the Toledo Edison

preferred shares will be exchanged for

newly-issued preferred shares of

Cleveland Electric, and any dissenting

preferred shareholders of Toledo Edison

will be paid cash for their shares upon

exercise of applicable dissenters’ rights.

Upon the occurrence of these events,

Toledo Edison will be merged into

Cleveland Electric, and the separate

corporate existence of Toledo Edison

will cease. Cleveland Electric will, by

operation of law, acquire title to and

interest in all facilities of Toledo Edison

that are currently under the jurisdiction

of the Commission, and Cleveland

Electric will operate such facilities

without change.

Cleveland Electric and Toledo Edison

believe that the proposed corporate

reorganization is consistent with the

public interest, and that it will be in the

best interest of the customers, share

owners and employees of both

Applicants.

Transwestern Pipeline Company;

Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for

Transwestern Pipeline Company’s

Proposed Rio Grande River Crossing

Project and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues

May 24, 1995

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an

environmental assessment (EA) that will

discuss environmental impacts of the

construction and operation of the

facilities proposed in the Rio Grande

River Crossing Project. This EA will be

used by the Commission in its decisionmaking process to determine whether an

environmental impact statement is

necessary and whether to approve the

project.1

Summary of the Proposed Project

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern) proposes to construct

and operate approximately 3,200 feet of

30-inch-diameter pipeline under the Rio

Grande River in Valencia County, New

Mexico. The proposed pipeline segment

would replace one of Transwestern’s

two 30-inch-diameter pipelines that

originally crossed over the Rio Grande

River on a steel structure pipeline

bridge. On August 20, 1994, an

explosion ruptured one of these two

pipelines and the bridge were replaced

under § 2.55 of the Commission’s

Regulations but the second pipeline was

not replaced at that time.

The proposed segment would be

installed from an existing block valve on

Transwestern’s existing pipeline located

about 1,100 feet southeast of the Upper

San Juan Riverside Drain. It would cross

the Upper San Juan Riverside Drain, the

Rio Grande River, and the Upper

Sabinal Riverside Drain, and end at

another existing block valve located

about 350 feet northwest of the Upper

Sabinal Riverside Drain.

The general location of the project

facilities is shown in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction

Transwestern proposes to use an

existing 150-foot-wide pipeline corridor

for construction but may require up to

a 250-foot-wide construction work

space. Based on a 150-foot-wide

construction work space, about 11 acres

of land would be affected by

construction.

The EA Process

The National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to

take into account the environmental

impacts that could result from an action

whenever it considers the issuance of a

Certificate of Public Convenience and

Necessity. NEPA also requires us to

discover and address concerns the

public may have about proposals. We

call this ‘‘scoping’’. The main goal of the

scoping process is to focus the analysis

in the EA on the important

environmental issues. By this Notice of

Intent, the Commission requests public

comments on the scope of the issues it

will address in the EA. All comments

received are taken into account during

the preparation of the EA. State and

local government representatives are

encouraged to notify their constituents

of this proposed action and encourage

them to comment on their areas of

concern.

The EA will discuss impacts that

could occur as a result of the

construction and operation of the

proposed project. These impacts may

include, but are not limited to:

• Geology and soils.

• Water resources, fisheries, and

wetlands.

• Vegetation and wildlife.

• Endangered and threatened species.

• Land use.

• Cultural resources.

• Public safety.

We will also evaluate possible

alternatives to the proposed project or

portions of the project, and make

recommendations on how to lessen or

avoid impacts on the various resource

areas.

Our independent analysis of the

issues will be in the EA. Depending on

the comments received during the

scoping process, the EA may be

published and mailed to Federal, state,

and local agencies, public interest

groups, interested individuals, affected

landowners, newspapers, libraries, and

the Commission’s official service list for

this proceeding. A comment period will

be allotted for review if the EA is

published. We will consider all

comments on the EA before we

recommend that the Commission

approve or not approve the project.

Currently Identified Environmental

Issues

We have already identified three

issues that we think deserve attention

based on a preliminary review of the

proposed facilities and the

environmental information provided by

Transwestern. Keep in mind that this is

a preliminary list. The list of issues may

be added to, subtracted from, or

changed based on your comments and

our analysis. Issues are:

• The proposed project would cross

three waterbodies, the Upper Sabinal

Riverside Drain, the Rio Grande River

and the Upper San Juan Riverside Drain.

• Two federally listed and two state

endangered species may occur in the

proposed project area.

• The proposed project would cross

the Casa Colorado Waterfowl

Management Area.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by sending

a letter addressing your specific

comments or concerns about the project.

You should focus on the potential

environmental effects of the proposal,

alternatives to the proposal (including

alternative routes), and measures to

avoid or lessen environmental impact.

The more specific your comments, the

more useful they will be. Please follow
