Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 1995 / Notices 65319

based on a preliminary review of the

proposed facilities and the

environmental information provided by

Transco. Keep in mind that this is a

preliminary list:

• Blasting is expected to be required

at the crossings of the Broad River and

Peoples Creek and possibly at

occasional locations along the proposed

pipeline route.

• The proposed pipeline would cross

a number of waterbodies, including the

546-foot-wide Broad River. In addition,

several wetlands would be crossed.

• Four federally listed endangered or

threatened species potentially occur in

the counties in which the proposed

facilities would be constructed.

• The proposed Loop D crosses the

Cooperville Ironworks, a National

Register of Historic Places District

(District) and one of the sites that makes

up the District.

• Twelve residences are within 50 feet

of the proposed construction right-ofway.

• New compression at new and

existing compressor stations would

result in impacts on air and noise

quality.

The list of issues may be added to,

subtracted from, or changed based on

your comments and our analysis.

Also, we have made a preliminary

decision to not address the impacts of

the nonjurisdictional electric

cogeneration plant. We will briefly

describe its location and status in the

EA. This facility is in Cherokee County,

South Carolina, and it has received most

of the relevant permits. Its construction

should begin in January 1996.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by sending

a letter addressing your specific

comments or concerns about the project.

You should focus on the potential

environmental effects of the proposal,

alternatives to the proposal (including

alternative routes or locations), and

measures to avoid or lessen

environmental impact. The more

specific your comments, the more useful

they will be. Please follow the

instructions below to ensure that your

comments are received and properly

recorded:

• Address and send your letter to: Lois

Cashell, Secretary, Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426;

• Reference Docket No. CP96–16–000;

• Send a copy of your letter to: Mr.

Mark Jensen, EA Project Manager,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., 11.2, Washington,

D.C. 20426; and

• Mail your comments so that they

will be received in Washington, D.C. on

or before January 15, 1996.

If you wish to receive a copy of the

EA, you should request one from Mr.

Jensen at the above address.

Becoming an Intervener

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor’’.

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 2).

The date for filing of timely motions

to intervene in this proceeding has

passed. Therefore, parties now seeking

to file late interventions must show

good cause, as required by Section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Mr.

Mark Jensen, EA Project Manager, at

(202) 208–0828.

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–M

[Docket No. GT96–15–000]

Iroquois Gas Transmission System,

L.P.; Notice of Refund Report

December 13, 1995.

Take notice that on October 20, 1995,

Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.

(Iroquois Gas) tendered for filing a

refund report pursuant to the

Commission’s February 22, 1995, Order

in Docket No. RP95–124–000.

Iroquois Gas states that it received

$180,446.00 from Gas Research Institute

(GRI) in payment of the 1994 Tier 1

refund. Pipelines receiving a refund

were required to credit such refunds to

their customers. Iroquois states that it

provided credits to its customers in the

invoices that were remitted on October

6, 1995. Because some of the shippers

on Iroquois’ system did not receive

invoices on that date, shippers

otherwise entitled to credits were issued

refund checks. Iroquois requests any

waivers that may be necessary to permit

such a result.

In addition, while the February 22

Order spoke only of credits to firm

customers, Iroquois had interruptible

customers that are entitled to credits.

Iroquois therefore requests any waivers

necessary to accomplish this as well; the

amount involved is de minimis.

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, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Rules 211

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and procedure (18 CFR 385.211

and 385.214). All such motions or

protests should be filed on or before

December 20, 1995. 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 proceeding.

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.

Secretary.
