DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

Notice of Fifth Interstate Natural Gas

Facility-Planning Seminar and Request

for Comments

June 13, 2001.

The Office of Energy Projects will

hold the fifth in a series of public

meetings for the purpose of exploring

and enhancing strategies for

constructive public participation in the

earliest stages of natural gas facility

planning. This seminar will be held in

Portsmouth, New Hampshire on

Thursday, July 19, 2001, This seminar

will be a new experience because we

will present and discuss the draft

Outreach Action Options for Industry,

Agencies, Citizens, and FERC staff

which we have developed based on the

first four seminars. The draft Outreach

Action Options are a compilation of the

ideas, or ‘‘tools’’ so to speak, the FERC

staff has designed to provide each

stakeholder group with practical

strategies for reaching consensus and

developing win-win solutions.

The staff of the Commission’s Office

of Energy projects will give a briefing on

the draft plans. Then, you will be given

an opportunity to provide feedback on

the plans to help ensure that they

address the necessary issues. We are

inviting interstate natural gas

companies; Federal, state and local

agencies; landowners and nongovernmental organizations to join us as

we continue to develop new strategies

in participatory project design.

Interactive breakout sessions will be

held with representatives from each

stakeholder group to review and

comment on the draft Outreach Action

Options. Then, each breakout group will

have an opportunity to share its results

with the overall seminar group in an

interactive ‘‘brainstorming’’ session.

The objectives of the seminar are:

1. Present and discuss the draft

Outreach Action Options;

2. Collect constructive comments and

make constructive revisions to the

plans;

3. Explore other ideas for improving

the FERC’s environmental review

process.

We are continuing to work toward

developing a toolbox of the best

available techniques for increasing

public involvement and developing

solutions to issues during the pre-filing

planning process. This will help to plan

projects with less opposition that can

achieve faster action from the

Commission with less controversy and

fewer conditions. These action options

will be one of the aids we can provide

to further that effort.

The meeting in Portsmouth, New

Hampshire will be held at the Holiday

Inn, 300 Woodbury Avenue,

Portsmouth, New Hampshire 03801,

phone number 1–603–431–8000

(website www.hiportsmouth.com). The

meeting is scheduled to start at 9:00

a.m. and finish at 2:45 p.m. A

preliminary agenda (attachment 1) and

directions to the Holiday Inn

(attachment 2) are enclosed.

If you plan to attend, please email our

team at: gasoutreach@ferc.fed.us by July

6, 2001. Or, you can respond via

facsimile to Pennie Lewis-Partee at 202–

208–0353. Please include in the

response the names, addresses, and

telephone numbers of all attendees from

your organization. We will send an

acknowledgment of your request.

Attendance is first-come, first-served.

However, if it becomes necessary to

limit attendance to achieve balance in

stakeholder representation, we will

notify you.

Prior to July 19, 2001, the draft

Outreach Action Options will be posted

on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) and

will be mailed to all past seminar

participants and to all registrants for

this seminar. Interested persons will

then have an opportunity to review the

draft Outreach Action Options and offer

comments. Comments should be sent

via e-mail to: gasoutreachfeedback@ferc.fed.us and should be sent

by August 3, 2001.
