proceedings 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 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.

Comments, interventions 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.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
