all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

Project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who has 

submitted comments on the Project in 

the Commission’s administrative record. 

We will update the environmental 

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to 

ensure that we send the information 

related to this environmental review to 

all individuals, organizations, and 

government entities interested in and/or 

potentially affected by the planned 

Project. 

Copies of the draft EIS will be sent to 

the environmental mailing list for 

review and comment. If you would 

prefer to receive a paper copy of the EIS 

instead of the compact disc version or 

if you would like to remove your name 

from the mailing list, please return the 

attached Information Request (appendix 

2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once Rover files an application with 

the Commission, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor,’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor can be found under the 

‘‘Getting Involved’’ heading of the ‘‘For 

Citizens’’ section on the FERC Web site. 

Please note that the Commission will 

not accept requests for intervenor status 

at this time. You must wait until the 

Commission receives a formal 

application for the Project. 

Additional Information 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs 

at (866) 208–FERC or on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary 

link (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/

eLibrary link also provides access to the 

texts of formal documents issued by the 

Commission, such as orders, notices,

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription that 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp. Finally, public 

meetings or site visits will be posted on 

the Commission’s calendar located at
