issued Order No. EA–209 authorizing

C–A to transmit electric energy from the

United States to Canada as a power

marketer using the international electric

transmission facilities owned and

operated by Basin Electric Power

Cooperative, Bonneville Power

Administration, Citizens Utilities,

International Transmission Company

(formerly Detroit Edison), Eastern Maine

Electric Cooperative, Joint Owners of

the Highgate Project, Inc., Long Sault,

Inc., Maine Electric Power Company,

Maine Public Service Company,

Minnesota Power and Light Co., Inc.,

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP01–156–000]

Cove Point LNG Limited Partnership;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

April 20, 2001.

Take notice that on April 17, 2001,

Cove Point LNG Limited Partnership

(Cove Point), Post Office Box 1396,

Houston, Texas 77251–1396, filed a

request with the Commission in Docket

No. CP01–156–000, pursuant to Section

157.205, 157.208 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for authorization to construct and

operate facilities in Fairfax County,

Virginia to interconnect with

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation’s (Transco) system,

authorized in blanket certificate issued

in Docket No. CP94–59–002, all as more

fully set forth in the request 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).

Cove Point seeks authorization to

interconnect with Transco’s system in

Fairfax County, Virginia to provide

additional flexibility to its import and

existing customers. Cove Point reports

that the Transco interconnect would be

as follows: (1) A 2.14-mile, 36-inch

diameter lateral (the Lateral) to connect

the Main Line and the Transco system,

(2) a new bi-directional Pleasant Valley

Meter Station (the Meter Station) to

measure the movement of gas between

the Cove Point and Transco systems,

and (3) a 20-inch tap on the Main Line

at the Pleasant Valley site. Cove Point

continues that the facilities would be as

follows: The Lateral would connect the

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Notices 20973

Main Line to the Transco system. The

Lateral would originate at the existing

Pleasant Valley site (Cove Point Mile

Post 75.00) to its tie-in to Transco’s

Main Lines B (one 20-inch hot tap) and

Main Line C (two 24-inch hot taps). The

hot taps would be constructed by

Transco pursuant to Transco’s blanket

certificate. The tie-in to the Transco

system would be 2.14 miles upstream of

the Pleasant Valley site at Cove Point

Mile Post 73.00 and at Transco Mile

Post 1586.20. The Lateral would run

parallel to the Main Line for the entire

2.14 miles. The Main Line would be

centered on an existing 50-foot wide

easement. This easement abuts an

existing Virginia Electric and Power

Company (Virginia Power) power line

right-of-way. There would be 20 feet

between the Main Line and the Lateral,

thus placing the Lateral five feet inside

the existing maintained Cove Point

easement and 15 feet between the

Lateral and the existing power line.

Cove Point reports that the estimated

cost of the Lateral would be $6,016,000.

The maximum allowable operating

pressure of the Lateral would be 800

psig. The Lateral would be owned,

operated and maintained by Cove Point.

The Meter Station would be located at

the site of the existing, non-operational

Pleasant Valley meter station. The Meter

Station would be constructed within the

fenced site of the existing meter station.

The Meter Station would consist of

three heaters, 10-inch and 24-inch

ultrasonic meters, flow control and

pressure regulation, a flow computer, a

chromatograph and a filter/separator.

The capacity of the interconnect would

be 1,000 MDt/d. The flow computer and

instruments associated with gas

measurement would be installed in an

8-foot by 16-foot equipment building.

The pressure regulation equipment

would be installed in a 30-foot by 30-

foot building. The meter piping would

not be enclosed in a building; it would

consist of 36-inch inlet and outlet

piping to and from the Meter Station.

There are two existing unused 20-inch

taps on the Main Line at the Pleasant

Valley site, and they would be used in

connection with the new project. In

addition, a new 20-inch tap would be

installed at this location. Accordingly,

Cove Point seeks authority to construct

and operate such 20-inch tap. Since

Cove Point owns the land at the

Pleasant Valley site, the incidental costs

would consist of implementation of a

soil erosion and sedimentation control

plan for the duration of the construction

period, clearing, grading, adding select

backfill, improving an existing parking

area and driveway in the meter station

yard, adding gravel and crushed stone

around Cove Point’s yard facilities and

final cleanup. The existing fencing

around the Pleasant Valley site would

be taken down during construction.

After construction, the fencing would be

put back up on the same alignment. The

estimated cost of the Meter Station

would be $5,086,000.

Any questions regarding the

application may be directed to Michael

Cathey, Post Office Box 1396, Houston,

Texas 77251–1396, or telephone (713)

215–2677.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, file

pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

NGA (18 CFR 157.207) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

allowed time, the proposed activity

shall be deemed to be authorized

effective the day after the time allowed

for filing a protest. If a protest is filed

and not withdrawn within 30 days after

the time allowed for filing a protest, the

instant request shall be treated as an

application for authorization pursuant

to Section 7 of the NGA. Comments,

protests and interventions may be filed

electronically via the internet in lieu of

paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

Commission’s web site at
