on scientific and technical matters as

they affect the perceived needs of the

Department of Defense. At these

meetings the Task Force will address

the technologies that will affect the cost

of ownership for current and future

weapon systems. The Task Force should

address the following questions: What

logistics related technology

opportunities are available to reduce

costs while providing enhanced

readiness, deployability and

sustainment? What investment strategy

is required to achieve the desired level

of logistics cost reduction?

In accordance with Section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

Public Law 92–463, as amended (5

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Public Meeting for Request

for Expressions of Interest for Tritium

Production

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: On December 6, 1995, the

Department announced a formal Record

of Decision implementing a dual-track

strategy to assure a future tritium

source. The Department’s preferred

strategy for acquiring new supplies of

tritium is to pursue the two most

promising production alternatives: (1) to

purchase irradiation services from one

or more existing Commercial Light

Water Reactors (CLWRs), or purchase

and convert a CLWR for tritium

production; and (2) to design, build and

test critical components of an

Accelerator-Produced Tritium system to

be used for tritium production.

On December 13, 1996, a Request for

Expression of Interest was published in

the Federal Register (60 FR 64104)

concerning DOE’s possible acquisition

of one or more Commercial Light Water

Reactors, or acquisition of irradiation

services from CLWRs, for the

production of tritium.

As indicated in the Request, the

Department is announcing that it

intends to host a public meeting to

discuss issues related to this Request

and to provide information for

potentially interested parties.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The meeting will

be held on January 16, 1996, at 9:00 a.m.

in room 1E–245 of the Forrestal

Building, 1000 Independence Avenue,

S.W., Washington, D.C.

To update the preliminary schedule

in the Appendix of the Request, initial

expressions of interest should be

submitted on or before January 29, 1996.

Supplementary information regarding

the expressions of interest should be

submitted on or before February 26,

1996. Submissions should be directed

to: Stephen M. Sohinki, Director, Office

of Reconfiguration, DP–25, United

States Department of Energy, 1000

A record of the meeting including

answers to questions that, in DOEs

judgement, are of general interest and

applicability to all potential

respondents will be mailed to all

attendees as well as other parties

requesting such information, and will be

made available for review along with a

Carnegie Interstate Pipeline Company;

Notice of Petition for Approval of Exit

Fee Stipulation

December 19, 1995.

Take notice that on December 13,

1995, pursuant to Rule 207 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207, Carnegie

Interstate Pipeline Company (CIPCO)

filed a petition with the Commission for

approval of a stipulation entered into by

CIPCO and Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation (TETCO) on December 12,

1995.

CIPCO states that the stipulation

provides for CIPCO to: (1) pay a

negotiated exit fee to TETCO for the

early termination of CIPCO’s contract

for firm transportation capacity on

TETCO; (2) recover 100 percent of the

exit fee from its customers through a

direct bill; and (3) abandon its

obligations under its contract with

TETCO.

CIPCO states that the expeditious

action on the petition will relieve

CIPCO of the continued payment of

reservation charges for its upstream

capacity on TETCO, which are presently

being collected through CIPCO’s

Transportation Cost Rate (TCR). CIPCO

requests that its petition be disposed of

under the shortened procedures in

Rules 801 and 802 of the Commission’s

Rule of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR

[Docket No. CP95–595–001]

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Amendment

December 19, 1995.

Take notice that on November 20,

1995, Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400

Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas

77056–5310 filed in Docket No. CP95–

595–001 pursuant to section 7(c) of the

Natural Gas Act an amendment to its

application for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity filed June 30,

1995, in Docket No. CP95–595–000,

requesting authority to replace a

pipeline crossing of the Brazos River, in

order to modify the route alignment of

the crossing, all as more fully set forth

in the amendment, which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

In its application in Docket No. CP95–

595–000, Texas Eastern proposed to

construct and operate 1.56 miles of new

24-inch diameter mainline between

Milepost (MP) 52.25 and MP 53.81 on

its Mainline No. 11 where it crosses the

Brazos River in Austin and Waller

Counties, Texas. Texas Eastern filed its

proposal because its existing main line

crossings of the Brazo River—the 24-

inch diameter Line No. 11 and 16-inch

auxiliary line—were exposed to the

forces of the river as the result of

erosion of the river bed in the vicinity

of Line No. 11. On October 6, 1995, the

Commission staff recommended in its

Environmental Assessment (EA) that

Texas Eastern use a designated

alternative route rather than Texas

Eastern’s proposed route, in order to

reduce the alleged environmental

impacts identified by the Commission

staff.

Texas Eastern states that it proposes

to modify the EA’s recommended route

and to tie back into Texas Eastern’s

existing line in as short a distance as is

practical, in lieu of adopting the route

recommended in the EA as ‘‘Alternative

2’’. Texas Eastern proposes to amend its

application to lay pipeline in new rightof-way for a distance of approximately

1,300 feet, thereby connecting the

directionally drilled river crossing of

approximately 2,900 feet with the

existing 24-inch Line No. 11. Texas

Eastern states that compared to

‘‘Alternative 2’’, its proposed route will

decrease new permanent right-of-way

required, reduce the overall length of

wetlands crossed, and decrease overall

estimated project costs by

approximately $1,000,000. Texas

Eastern asserts that is proposed

modifications will both facilitate an

expeditious replacement of the river

crossing and decrease environmental

impacts associated with the

construction activity.

Specifically, Texas Eastern now

proposes to replace, construct and

operate approximately 0.84 miles of 24-

inch diameter Line No. 11 mainline

crossing of the Brazos River in Austin

and Waller Counties, Texas, to remove

the existing 24-inch and 16-inch

diameter pipeline segments exposed in

the river, and to abandon, in place, the

remainder of the existing pipeline

which will be replaced. The pipeline

segment to be replaced is between MP

52.25 and MP 52.98 on Line No. 11.

Texas Eastern estimates that the project

will cost $2,425,854. Texas Eastern

states that the replacement segments

will have a design delivery capacity

equivalent to the facilities being

replaced.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

amendment should on or before

December 29, 1995, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to

intervene or a protest in accordance

with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (128 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

and the Regulations under the Natural

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests

filed with the Commission will be

considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules. Any person who has heretofore

filed need not file again.

Secretary.
