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 the comment date 

stated below, 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 commentors will be 

placed on 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 commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

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. 

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 under the 

‘‘e-Filing’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

intervenors to file electronically. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426.

Vector Pipeline L.P.; Notice of Intent 

To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Athens 

Compressor Expansion Project and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

January 3, 2008. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Athens Compressor Expansion 

Project involving construction and 

operation of natural gas transmission 

system facilities by Vector Pipeline L.P. 

(Vector) in Calhoun and Oakland 

County, Michigan and LaPorte County, 

Indiana. The EA will be used by the 

Commission in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies on the project. 

Your input will help determine which 

issues need to be evaluated in the EA. 

Please note that the scoping period will 

close on February 4, 2008. Details on 

how to submit comments are provided 

in the Public Participation section of 

this notice. 

This notice is being sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

Native American tribes; other interested 

parties; and local libraries and 

newspapers. State and local government 

representatives are asked to notify their 

constituents of this proposed project 

and to encourage them to comment on 

their areas of concern. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ addresses a number of 

typically asked questions, including the 

use of eminent domain and how to 

participate in the Commission’s 

proceedings. It is available for viewing 

on the FERC Internet Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Vector proposes to: 

• Construct the Athens Compressor 

Station, a new 15,000-horsepower 

compressor station along Vector’s 

existing pipeline system in Calhoun 

County, Michigan; and 

• Complete modifications at Vector’s 

existing Springville and Highland 

Compressor Stations, which are located 

along Vector’s existing pipeline system 

in LaPorte County, Indiana and Oakland 

County, Michigan, respectively. 

Vector purchased a 20-acre parcel of 

land for construction of the Athens 

Compressor Station. Approximately 6.3 

acres within the site would be used for 

operation of the compressor station. An 

additional 2.2 acres of land would be 

disturbed by construction of an access 

road to Athens Compressor Station. The 

remainder of the 20 acre site would be 

maintained as a buffer area. 

Construction of the proposed 

modifications at the existing Springville 

and Highland Compressor Stations 

would disturb up to 2 acres of land at 

each station. The land affected by 

construction and operation of the 

modifications would occur within 

previously disturbed areas that are 

inside buildings or in graveled areas
