Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Notices 20979

This preliminary determination

typically considers such issues as the

need for the project and its economic

effect on existing customers of the

applicant, on other pipelines in the area,

and on landowners and communities.

For example, the Commission considers

the extent to which the applicant may

need to exercise eminent domain to

obtain rights-of-way for the proposed

project and balances that against the

non-environmental benefits to be

provided by the project. Therefore, if a

person has comments on community

and landowner impacts from the

proposal, it is important either to file

comments or to intervene as early in the

process as possible.

Also, comments, protests, and

interventions may be filed electronically

via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the

instructions on the Commission’s

website at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/

doorbell.htm.

If the Commission decides to set the

application for a formal hearing before

an Administrative Law Judge, the

Commission will issue another notice

describing that process. At the end of

the Commission’s review process, a

final order approving or denying a

certificate will be issued.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
