Regulatory Commission Order No. 888

(Promotion Wholesale Competition

Through Open Access NonDiscriminatory Transmission Services

by Public utilities; FERC Stats. & Regs.

¶ 31,036 (1996)), as amended. In

furtherance of this policy, on July 27,

1999, (64 FR 40586) DOE initiated a

proceeding in which it noticed its

intention to condition existing and

future Presidential permits, appropriate

for third party transmission, on

compliance with a requirement to

provide non-discriminatory open access

transmission service. That proceeding is

not yet complete. However, in this

docket DOE specifically requests

comment on the appropriateness of

applying the open access requirement

on Maestros’ proposed facilities.

Procedural Matters: Any person

desiring to become a party to this

proceeding or to be heard by filing

comments or protests to this application

should file a petition to intervene,

comment or protest at the address

provided above in accordance with

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the FERC’s

Rules of Practice and Procedures (18

CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of

each petition and protest should be filed

with the DOE on or before the date

listed above.

Additional copies of such petitions to

intervene or protests also should be

filed directly with: Hugh Holub,

Maestros Group L.L.C., 1881 N. Mastick

Way, Suite 400, Nogales, AZ 85621.

Before a Presidential permit may be

issued or amended, the DOE must

determine that the proposed action will

not adversely impact on the reliability

of the U.S. electric power supply

system. In addition, DOE must consider

the environmental impacts of the

proposed action (i.e., granting the

Presidential permit, with any conditions

and limitations, or denying the permit)

pursuant to the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969. DOE also must

obtain the concurrence of the Secretary

of State and the Secretary of Defense

before taking final action on a

Presidential permit application.

Copies of this application will be

made available, upon request, for public

inspection and copying at the address

provided above. In addition, the

application may be reviewed or

downloaded from the Fossil Energy

Home Page at: http://

www.FE.DOE.GOV. Upon reaching the

Fossil Energy Home page, select
