National asserts that the purpose of

this filing is to comply with the

Commission’s order issued February 16,

Surcharge of 7.15 cents per dth.

Further National states that under

Article II, Section 2, of the settlement,

it is required to recalculate the

maximum Interruptible Gathering (‘‘IG’’)

rate monthly and to charge that rate on

the first day of the following month if

the result is an IG rate more than 2 cents

above or below the IG rate as calculated

under Section 1 of Article II. The

recalculation produced an IG rate of 39

cents per dth. In addition, Article III,

Section 1 states that any overruns of the

Firm Gathering service provided by

National shall be priced at the

maximum IG rate.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

[Docket No. CP01–62–000]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Application

January 9, 2001.

Take notice that on January 5, 2001,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158, filed in Docket No.

CP01–62–000 an application pursuant

to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for

a blanket certificate of public

convenience and necessity authorizing

Northwest to install and operate, on a

temporary and limited basis, three

existing portable compressor units to

provide incremental horsepower and

physical capacity at its existing

Kemmerer, Pegram and Lava Hot

Springs Compressor Stations in

Wyoming and Idaho all as more fully set

forth in the application which is 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).

Northwest proposes to establish an

additional secondary function for its

three portable compressor units that

current have a primary function of

temporarily replacing out-of-service

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 16, 2001 / Notices 3575

1Two of the portable compressor units have a

current secondary function by virtue of Northwest’s

blanket authority to operate the portable units at

two compressor sites in Washington state when

necessary to augment southflow in order to offset

displacement capacity shortfalls.

permanent compressor units.1

Specifically, when the temporary units

are not required for their primary

function, Northwest will operate the

units to temporarily supplement

northflow capacity through the

Kemmerer, Wyoming to Pegram, Idaho

segment (the Kemmerer Corridor) of its

system. The increased northflow

capacity will reduce the level of

operational flow orders issued to

provide sufficient displacement

capacity to accommodate firm

contractual obligations through the

Kemmerer Corridor. Northwest states

that the temporary supplemental

compression will increase the physical

northflow capacity through the

Kemmerer Corridor by about 22 MDth

per day.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Gary

K. Kotter, Manager, Certificates,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation, P.O.

There are two ways to become

involved in the Commission’s review of

this project. First, any person wishing to

obtain legal status by becoming a party

to the proceedings for this project

should, on or before January 19, 2001,

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

field 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 this 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

on the environmental review of this

project should submit an original and

two copies of their comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Environmental commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, will receive

copies of the environmental documents,

and will be notified of meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Environmental commenters will not be

required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, the non-party commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

field by other parties or issued by the

Commission (except for the mailing of

environmental documents issued by the

Commission) and will not have the right

to seek court review of the

Commission’s final order.

The Commission may issue a

preliminary determination on nonenvironmental issues prior to the

completion of its review of the

environmental aspects of the project.

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 this

proposal, it is important either to file

comments or to intervene as early in the

process as possible.

Comments and protests 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 web site 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 Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.

Secretary.

Issuance of Order

January 9, 2001.

SEI Michigan, L.L.C. (SEI) submitted

for filing a rate schedule under which

SEI will engage in wholesale electric

power and energy transactions at

market-based rates. SEI also requested

waiver of various Commission

regulations. In particular, SEI requested

that the Commission grant blanket

approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all

future issuances of securities and

assumptions of liability by SEI.

On January 5, 2001, pursuant to

delegated authority, the Director,

Division of Corporate Applications,

Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates,

granted requests for blanket approval

under Part 34, subject to the following:

Within thirty days of the date of the

order, any person desiring to be heard

or to protest the blanket approval of

issuances of securities or assumptions of

liability by SEI should file a motion to

intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Rules 211

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211

and 385.214).

Absent a request for hearing within

this period, SEI is authorized to issue

securities and assume obligations or

liabilities as a guarantor, indorser,

surety, or otherwise in respect of any

security of another person; provided

that such issuance or assumption is for

some lawful object within the corporate

purposes of the applicant, and

compatible with the public interest, and

is reasonably necessary or appropriate

for such purposes.

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be

adversely affected by continued

approval of SEI’s issuance of securities

or assumptions of liability.

Notice is hereby given that the
