DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP01–260–000]

Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

May 9, 2001.

Take notice that on May 2, 2001,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway,

Fairfax, Virginia 22030–0146, filed in

Docket No. CP01–260–000, an

application, pursuant to Sections 7 (b)

and (c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part

157 of the Commission’s Regulations for

abandonment authorization and a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity authorizing the construction

and operation of certain pipeline,

compression and appurtenant facilities

in Delaware and Pennsylvania, all as

more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Columbia proposes to construct and

operate the facilities in order to

accommodate deliveries to a power

plant being constructed by FPL Energy

Marcus Hook L.P. (FPL) on the

Delaware-Pennsylvania border.

Specifically, Columbia proposes to

construct 1.3 miles of 20-inch lateral

pipeline in New Castle County,

Delaware, and Delaware County,

Pennsylvania. Columbia also proposes

to construct and operate a 6,000

horsepower (hp) compressor unit at the

existing Eagle Compressor Station in

Chester County, Pennsylvania, a 6,000

hp compressor unit at the existing

Downingtown Compressor Station in

Chester County, Pennsylvania, and a

new measuring and regulating (M&R)

station on the power plant property in

Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In

addition, Columbia proposes to abandon

2 1,250 hp compressor units at the

Downingtown Compressor Station. It is

stated that Columbia is abandoning

these units because of their age and

condition and will no longer need these

units when the new units are installed.

In related construction under the

automatic provisions of its blanket

certificate authorization, Columbia

proposes to install a new tap and valve

at an existing M&R station at the

intersection of Columbia’s facilities with

those of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation in Chester County,

Pennsylvania, and to replace existing

regulators at an interconnection with

the facilities of Texas Eastern

Transmission Corporation, also in

Chester County. Columbia proposes to

provide firm transportation service for

FPL, delivering 125,000 Dekatherms

(dth) of natural gas per day to FPL’s

plant. Columbia estimates the total cost

of the proposed facilities at $22.3

million.

Any questions regarding this

application should be directed to M.D.

Mamone, Certificates, at (304) 357–

3164, Columbia Gas Transmission

Company, P.O. Box 1273, Charleston,

West Virginia 25325–1273.

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 May 30, 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

385.211 and 385.214) and the

regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(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. 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 Commission’s website at—

http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.

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 environmental documents,

and will be able to participate in

meetings associated with the

Commission’s environmental review

process. Commenters will not be

required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, 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

rehearing or appeal the Commission’s

final order to a Federal court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

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 to file

comments or to intervene as early in the

process as possible.

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

26848 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 15, 2001 / Notices

final Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.
