proceeding that has been pending before

the Commission on rehearing since

1996, in this proceeding WGP and

Transco have revised their spindown

requests pursuant to the new policy in

order to obtain prompt Commission

Action.

WGP states that Transco and WGP are

undertaking to spindown Transco’s

offshore gathering facilities, on a

system-by-system basis, under the

Commission’s reformulated ‘‘primary

function’’ principles recently

announced in Sea Robin. WGP states

that on November 20, 2000, Transco and

WGP filed to spindown portions of

Transco’s North Padre and Central

Texas gathering systems together in

Docket Nos. CP01–34–000 and CP01–

32–000. It is also stated that on March

12, 2001, in Docket Nos. CP01–103–000

and CP01–104–000, Transco and WGP

filed to spindown Transco’s North High

Island/West Cameron gathering system.

WGP states that the instant application

and petition propose to spindown

Transco’s Central Louisiana Gathering

System. WGP states that it is Transco’s

and WGP’s hope that presenting the

revised spindown filings on a systemby-system basis under the Commission’s

current policy—the reformulated

primary function test—facilitate the

Commission’s prompt review and

approval of the filings.

WGP submits that the primary

function of the facilities is gathering,

consistent with the criteria set forth in

Farmland Industries, Inc. (23 FERC ¶

61,063 (1983)), as modified in

subsequent orders. WGP submits that

WGP’s requested gathering

determination and Transco’s requested

firm-to-gathering rate design go hand in

hand.

Any questions concerning this

application may be directed to Mari M.

Ransey, Esq., One Williams Center, MD

41–3, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74172, call (918)

573–2611.

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 June 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

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.

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

copies of their protests only to the party

or parties directly involved in the

protest.

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 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.
