Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2001 / Notices 34437

requests a preliminary determination on

non-environmental issues by December

31, 2001, and final certificate

authorization by July 15, 2002. Islander

East states that this will allow

construction to be completed by its

proposed in-service date of November 1,

2003.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Steven

E. Tillman, Director of Regulatory

Affairs, Islander East Pipeline Company,

L.L.C., P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas

77251–1642 at 713–627–5113 or by

facsimile at 713–627–5947.

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 July 13, 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

place don 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 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, 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.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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. RP01–458–000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Proposed Change in FERC

Gas Tariff

June 22, 2001.

Take notice that on June 15, 2001,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), tendered for filing as part

of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised

Volume No. 1, Second Revised Tariff

Sheet No. 175. Tennessee requests that

the tariff sheet be made effective August

1, 2001.

Tennessee states that the purpose of

Tennessee’s tariff filing is to provide

formal notice to Rate Schedule FT–G

customers and the Commission that

Tennessee intends to charge FT–G

customers for both the transportation of

‘‘swing’’ volumes into and out of storage

commenting August 1, 2001. Tennessee

states that its Order No. 636 compliance

filing in Docket No. RS92–23

contemplated that Tennessee would

charge FT–G customers the applicable

commodity rate and fuel for the

transportation of ‘‘swing’’ volumes both

into and out of storage. However, in

setting up its billing system to

implement the extensive changes

required by Order No. 636, Tennessee

inadvertently treated Rate Schedule FT–

G customers the same as Rate Schedule

FT–GS customers with respect to the

transportation of storage ‘‘swing’’

volumes. In that regard, in Docket No.

RS92–23, the Commission ruled that

Tennessee could charge FT–GS

customers only for transportation from

customers’ receipt points to their

citygates. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.,

62 FERC ¶ 61,250, at 62,658 (1993).

As a result of administrative

oversight, Tennessee set up its billing

system so that FT–G customers would

be billed for the transportation of

storage ‘‘swing’’ volumes in the same

manner as FT–GS customers.

Specifically, when a customer

scheduling deliveries to its citygate

takes less than the scheduled quantity,

the variance would be treated as a

storage injection and the customer

would pay the applicable commodity

rate and fuel for transportation from the

receipt point to the citygate; when the

customer takes more than its scheduled

quantity at the citygate, the variance

would be treated as a storage

withdrawal, but the customer would not

be charged for the transportation of such

storage withdrawal quantity from the

storage field to the citygate. By the

34438 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2001 / Notices

instant tariff filing, Tennessee indicates

its intent to commence charging FT–G

shippers separately for the

transportation of ‘‘swing’’ volumes to

and from storage commencing August 1,

2001. Although Tennessee does not

believe that a tariff filing is necessary to

bill FT–G shippers in this manner, given

the length of time that Tennessee has

inadvertently not charged FT–G

customers for the transportation of

‘‘swing’’ volumes both into and out of

storage, Tennessee believes that it is

appropriate to provide formal notice to

its customers of its plans via a tariff

filing.

Tennessee states that copies of the

filing have been mailed to each of

Tennessee’s customers and the affected

state regulatory commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed in accordance

with Section 154.210 of the

Commission’s Regulations. Protests will

be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room. This filing may be viewed on the

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

interventions may be filed electronically
