Granite State Gas Transmisison;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

December 17, 2001.

Take notice that on December 7, 2001,

Granite State Gas Transmission (Granite

State) tendered for filing as part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume

No. 1, Substitute Twenty-fifth Revised

Sheet No. 21 and Substitute Twentysixth Revised Sheet No. 22, to become

effective January 1, 2002.

Granite State states that on November

30, 2001, it submitted tariff sheets in

accordance with the Commission’s

order issued on September 19, 2001 in

Gas Research Institute’s (GRI) Docket

No. RP01–434–000 (Order Approving

Settlement). The order approved GRI’s

2002 funding formula. Subsequent to

that filing, it has come to Granite State’s

attention that it inadvertently reflected

the GRI surcharge applicable to those

customers with load factors equal to or

less than 50% at 4.1¢/Dth instead of the

approved surcharge of 4.07¢/Dth. The

instant filing is being made to correct

the surcharge.

Granite State states that copies of its

filing has been mailed to each of Granite

State’s firm and interruptible customers,

and affected state commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP;

Notice of Application

December 17, 2001.

Take notice that on December 7, 2001,

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas

Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310, filed in

Docket No. CP02–45–000 an application

pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the

Natural Gas Act for approval for it (i) to

construct, own, operate, and maintain a

150-foot 20-inch diameter pipeline

interconnect with Tennessee Gas

Pipeline Company and 9.6 miles of 24-

inch diameter lateral pipeline, three

meter stations and three regulators and

appurtenant facilities in Scioto County,

Ohio and Lawrence County, Ohio; (ii) to

implement a new lateral line only

transportation service (Rate Schedule

MLS–1) which is also proposed in

Docket No. CP02–17–000; and (iii) to

establish an incremental maximum

recourse rate of $1.112 for service of

250,000 Dth/d to a proposed Duke

Energy Hanging Rock, LLC (Hanging

Rock) power plant in Lawrence County,

Ohio under the new Rate Schedule

MLS–1. The lateral has a design

capacity of 288,920 Dth/d.

Copies of this filing are on file with

the Commission and are available for

public inspection. This filing may also

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 246 / Friday, December 21, 2001 / Notices 65945

be viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘RIMS’’ link,

select ‘‘Docket#’’ and follow the

instructions (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance). Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Steven

E. Tillman, Director, Regulatory Affairs,

at (713) 627–5044, (713) 627–5947 (Fax),

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation, P. O. Box 1642, Houston,

Texas 77251–1642.

Texas Eastern requests that the

Commission issue a final certificate by

June 1, 2002. Texas Eastern says this is

needed to allow it to complete

construction of the proposed facilities to

meet the November 1, 2002 date for test

gas requested by Hanging Rock.

The proposed Rate Schedule MLS–1,

included in Exhibit P of the application,

will be available to any party requesting

firm or interruptible transportation

service on a portion of Texas Eastern’s

system designated as a Market Lateral.

The proposed service will be provided

as a ‘‘lateral line only’’ service with no

transportation rights, secondary or

otherwise, other than on the designated

Market Lateral. The MLS–1 service will

allow a firm contracting customer to

designate in the MLS–1 Service

Agreement the Maximum Daily

Quantity (MDQ) and Maximum Hourly

Quantity to be delivered, not to exceed

the customer’s MDQ for the Gas Day. A

firm customer will be required to pay

for any incremental facilities required to

provide the customer’s requested

service. Firm customers under Rate

Schedule MLS–1 will have secondary

and capacity release rights only on the

Market Lateral. The firm hourly rights

will be applicable only as to flows

between the Primary Receipt Point and

Primary Delivery Point(s) on the Market

Lateral. Hanging Rock will have nonfirm hourly rates at other points on the

lateral.

Texas Eastern says that the proposal

will have no impact on rates charged to

existing customers. The cost of the

facilities is estimated to be $15,080,000.

The maximum recourse rate for Hanging

Rock’s service pursuant to Rate

Schedule MLS–1 is a 100 percent

incremental reservation rate of $ 1.112

per Dth. This rate is based on proposed

incremental facility costs with costs for

the unsubscribed capacity of 33,920

Dth/d assigned to interruptible MLS–1

service. Texas Eastern says it has used

its rate of return and other factors from

Docket No. RP90–119 to derive this

incremental rate. An adjustment was

made to reflect the current 35% federal

income tax rate.

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 January 7, 2002, 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 Natural Gas Act (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 appellate court

review of Commission orders in the

proceeding.

However, a person does not have to

intervene in order to have their

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 comments 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 commenters 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 commenters will not

be required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, the non-party commenters

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.

The Commission may issue a

preliminary determination on nonenvironmental issues prior to the

completion of its review of the

environmental aspects of the project.

This preliminary determination

typically considers such issues as the

need for the project and its economic

effect on existing customers of the

applicant, on other pipelines in the area,

and on landowners and communities.

The Commission considers the extent to

which the applicant may need to

exercise eminent domain to obtain

rights-of-way for the proposed project

and balances that against the nonenvironmental benefits to be provided

by the project. Therefore, if a person has

comments on community and

landowner impacts from this proposal,

it is important either to file comments

or to intervene as early in the process as

possible. If the Commission decides to

set the application for a formal hearing

before an Administrative Law Judge, the

Commission will issue another notice

describing that process. At the end of

the Commission’s review process, a

final Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.

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.
