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

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.

Interventions, 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:

www.ferc.gov/documents/

makeanelectronicfiling/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.

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of

Application

June 8, 2001.

Take notice that on May 30, 2001,

Dominion Transmission, Inc (DTI), 445

West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301, filed an application for

authorization to abandon facilities

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

The purpose of the application is to

obtain authorization for the retroactive

abandonment of 13 storage wells and

related facilities located in DTI’s

Oakford, Bridgeport, Fink-Kennedy-Lost

Creek, Racket Newberne, and South

Bend Storage Pools, all as more fully set

forth in the amendment which is open

to the public for inspection. DTI states

that the abandonment costs were not

passed through to DTI’s customers. DTI

also requests that intermediate decision

procedures be omitted, pursuant to

Rules 801 and 802 of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure. This

application may be viewed on the web

at: www.rimsweb1.ferc.fed.us/

rims.q?rp2∼intro (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Sean

R. Sleigh, Certificates Manager,

Dominion Transmission, Inc., 445 West

Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301,

phone number (304) 627–3462.

There are two 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 29, 2001, file with the

Federal Energy Regulator Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, a motion to intervene or a protest

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.

Interventions, 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:

www.ferc.gov/documents/

makeanelectronicfiling/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.
