1El Paso’s August 15, 2000 filing contains its

segmentation plan.

2 94 FERC ¶ 61,225 (2001).

DTI states that the issuance of a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity for the JW–287 well will allow

more efficient and reliable operations by

DTI and will avoid additional costs 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, at

(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 Regulatory 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.

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 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 preview of the

environmental aspects of the project.

This preliminary determination

typically considers such issues such 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 nonenvironmental 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.

Secretary.

Kern River Gas Transmission

Company; Notice on Petition for

Declaratory Order

June 8, 2001.

On June 1, 2001, Kern River Gas

Transmission Company (Kern River)

filed a petition for a declaratory order by

the Commission addressing capacity

commitments made by Kern River in

connection with facilities authorized by

the Commission in Docket No. CP01–

106–000. This issue arises in light of

assertions by Southern California Gas

Company (SoCalGas) that Kern River

has not satisfied its obligations to

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2001 / Notices 32343

FERC ¶ 61,267 (2001).

SoCalGas under a June 15, 1989

Settlement Agreement. Kern River’s

filing may be viewed on the web at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

On April 6, 2001, the Commission

authorized Kern River to construct the

California Action Project, which will

increase Kern River’s design-day

mainline capacity by 135,000 Mcf. This

additional capacity was alloca5ted as a

result of an open season Kern River

conducted in march 2001; Kern River

ultimately entered into transportation

service agreements with 43 shippers as

a result of the open season. Kern River

intends to commence service using the

California Action Project in July 2001.

SoCalGas asserts that, pursuant to a

June 15, 1989 Settlement Agreement,

Kern River has certain obligations to

SoCalGas in the event Kern River

intends to add incremental capacity to

its system in excess of 700 Mcf.

SoCalGas asserts that Kern River must

provide it with written notice of intent

to add capacity, and must notify

SoCalGas of the amount of capacity

available after it has awarded any

capacity to Enhanced Oil Recovery and

congeneration shippers who were

granted prior rights under the

Settlement Agreement. After such notice

is provided, SoCalGas asserts that it

must be given 30 days to evaluate

whether it wants to contract for such

capacity pursuant to Kern River’s

standard tariff terms and conditions.

SoCalGas states that if it had been given

this opportunity it would have elected

all of the available capacity in the

California Action Plan and potentially

some or all of the capacity offered in

other open seasons Kern River has

conducted with regard to proposed

future expansions. SoCalGas has

inquired how Kern River intends to

comply with its obligations under the

Settlement Agreement. Kern River

requests that the Commission declare

that Kern River has no obligation under

the 1989 Settlement Agreement to

provide SoCalGas any preferential

notice of, or opportunity to elect, any of

the capacity on Kern River’s pending

expansions.

There are two ways to become

involved in the Commission’s review of

this petition. First, any person wishing

to obtain legal status by becoming a

party to the proceeding 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 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 applicants

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, by June

15, 2001, an original and two copies of

the comments in support of or in

opposition to matters raised in the

petition. The Commission will consider

these comments in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but the

filing of a comment will not serve to

make the filer a party to the proceeding.

The Commission’s rules require that

person filing comments in opposition

provide 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

2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on

the Commission’s web site at http://
