[Docket No. OR01–5–000]

Chevron Products Company v.

Anschutz Ranch East Pipeline, Inc. and

Express Pipeline Partnership; Notice

of Complaint

March 1, 2001.

Take notice that on February 28, 2001,

Chevron Products Company (Chevron)

tendered for filing a complaint against

Anschutz Ranch East Pipeline, Inc.

(Anschutz) and Express Pipeline

Partnership (Express). Chevron states that it is a shipper of

crude oil and sour condensate on a local

tariff filed by Anschutz for the shipment

of crude petroleum and sour condensate

originating at Frontier Station, Utah and

Evanston Station, Wyoming and

terminating in Kimball Junction, Utah.

Chevron states that it is also a shipper

of crude oil on joint tariffs published by

Anschutz and Express for the shipment

of crude petroleum between

International boundary, Canada and Salt

Lake City, Utah. Chevron alleges that

the rates being charged on the Anschutz

local tariff and on the Anschutz portion

or division of the Anschutz/Express

joint tariffs are unjust and unreasonable

and unduly discriminatory and unduly

preferential, and, therefore, in violation

of the Interstate Commerce Act. Chevron

further maintains that the rates charged

on the Express/Anschutz joint tariffs

exceed ceiling price levels. Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214). All such motions or protests

must be filed on or before March 20,

2001. Protests will be considered by the

Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party must file a motion to

intervene. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room. This filing may

also be viewed on the Internet at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222) for assistance.

Answers to the complaint shall also be

due on or before March 20, 2001.

Comments and protests may be filed

electronically via the internet if lieu of

paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

and the instructions on the

Commission’s web site at

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP01–92–000]

East Tennessee Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Application

March 1, 2001.

Take notice that on February 23, 2001,

East Tennessee Natural Gas Company

(East Tennessee), Post Office Box 1642,

Houston, Texas, 77251–1642, filed in

Docket No. CP01–92–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act for authorization to install,

construct, own and operate

approximately 2.23 miles of 12-inch

pipeline loop and appurtenant facilities

in Washington County, Virginia;

Loudon County, Tennessee; and Putnam

County, Tennessee. In addition, East

Tennessee proposes to perform seven

pipeline road crossing replacements and

hydrostatic testing in order to increase

the maximum allowable operation

pressure (MAOP) of approximately 17.5

miles of existing 22-inch pipe on its

Line 3107, all as more fully set forth in

the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. The project is collectively

referred to as the ‘‘Gateway Project’’.

This filing may be viewed on the web

at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

The proposed pipeline loop facilities

will include approximately 2.23 miles

of new 12-inch pipeline extending from

main line valve (MLV) 3310–02, at

milepost (MP) zero on East Tennessee’s

8-inch line 3300 to MP 2.23 at the

Saltville Storage facility interconnect.

East Tennessee proposes to install a

regulator on the Loudon-Lenoir City

lateral at MLV 3218D–102. This

regulator is required to allow gas

deliveries into the Loudon meter station

75–9039, from the north, Line 3100 and

the South Line 3200, operating at

independent and possibly differential

pressures. The Loudon regulator will be

located within the existing rights-ofway.

East Tennessee also proposes to

increase the MAOP on a portion of Line

3107. This increased MAOP is necessary

to provide Etowah and Loudon firm

transportation from the Ridgetop

interconnect with Tennessee Gas Pipe

Line Company to the respective Etowah

and Loudon meter stations. To

accomplish this, East Tennessee

proposes to perform six road crossing

replacements and hydrostatic test on

approximately 12.85 miles of 22-inch

pipe on Line 3107 from MLV 3107–1A

to MLV 3108–1 and also to replace one

road crossing and thereby uprate

approximately 4.56 miles of 22-inch

pipe on Line 3107 from the discharge of

station 3107 to 3107–A. The hydrostatic

testing and pipeline replacement will

allow East Tennessee to increase the

MAOP on these segments from 722 to

766 pounds per square inch gauge

(psig), respectively to 773 psig.

The Gateway Project will allow East

Tennessee to provide firm

transportation service for Etowah Utility

Department (Etowah), Loudon Utilities

Gas Department (Loudon), and Stone

Mountain Energy, LC (Stone Mountain),

collectively referred to as the Gateway

Customers. The proposed Gateway

Project will provide 1,000 dekatherms

(Dth/d) of capacity to Etowah, 3,000

Dth/d to Loudon, and 4,000 Dth/d to

Stone Mountain, for a total of 8,000 Dth/

d of FT–A transportation service

resulting from the proposed Gateway

Project facilities. East Tennessee held an

open season from June 1, 2000, until

June 15, 2000 for a potential expansion

of its system. As a result of its open

season, East Tennessee has provided

precedent agreements and gas

transportation agreements with each

customer, for 100 percent of the

proposed transportation service. In

addition East Tennessee has provided

other data indicating a growing market

for natural gas in East Tennessee’s

market area citing projections from

NERC’s Electricity Supply and Demand

2000 database, among other things.

East Tennessee proposes to provide

service to the Gateway Customers

pursuant to its existing open access Rate

Schedule FT–A. However, East

Tennessee further seeks authorization to

establish an initial Section 7(c) rate for

the service proposed. East Tennessee

states that all construction costs

associated with the proposed facilities

will be paid for through the incremental

rates to be charged the Gateway

Customers.

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.

Secretary.
