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 15, 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

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 commentors

will not receive copies of all documents

filed 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, 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.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Application

May 25, 2001.

Take notice that on May 18, 2001,

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396,

Houston, Texas 77251, in Docket No.

CP01–368–000 filed an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act (NGA) and the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations, for permission

and approval for Transco to abandon

certain pipeline facilities located in

offshore and onshore Louisiana, which

are part of the Central Louisiana

Gathering System, by transfer to

Williams Gas Processing-Gulf Coast

Company, L.P. (WGP), an affiliate of

Transco, all as more fully set forth in the

application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. The filing may be viewed on

the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/

online/rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance). WGP is concurrently filing a

Petition requesting that the Commission

declare the subject facilities exempt

gathering pursuant to Section 1(b) of the

Natural Gas Act.

Transco states that Commission

authorization for abandonment of the

subject gathering facilities to WGP is in

the public convenience and necessity

because the proposed abandonment will

facilitate Transco’s transition to

providing unbundled services by

eliminating facilities unnecessary to

Transco’s redefined role without

detriment to those jurisdictional

services that Transco provides to its

existing customers. Transco states that

abandonment will allow WGP to own

and manage those facilities which

perform a gathering function as a

separate, stand-alone company focused

on providing gathering services with its

resources dedicated to improving

operational efficiencies and ensuring

market responsiveness for its customer

base.

application should be directed to Gisela
