Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2001 / Notices 13715

East Tennessee states that the

Gateway Projects will be constructed on

East Tennessee’s existing pipeline right

of way and thus will not result in a

significant adverse effect on the

environment.

The Gateway Customers have

requested that East Tennessee provide

the proposed transportation service

during the 2001/2002 winter heating

season. East Tennessee requests a

certificate on or before August 1, 2001

in order for it to meet its November 1,

2001 in-service date requested by the

Gateway Customers.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Steven

E. Tillman, Director, Regulatory Affairs,

East Tennessee Natural Gas Company,

P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas, 77251,

(713) 627–5113.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before March

22, 2001, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a

protest 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). 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. Comments and

protests may be filed electronically in

lieu of paper. See 18 CFR

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

on the Commission’s website at http://

ferc.fed.us/efl/doorbell.htm.

A person obtaining intervener 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 every one of the interveners. An

intervener can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervener must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervener in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Commentors will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commentors will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commentors

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commentors or those

requesting intervener status.

Take further notice that pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

necessary for East Tennessee to appear

or to be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.

assumption is for some lawful object

require a further showing that neither
