    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

[[Page 12347]]

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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project, or in support of or in opposition to 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. The Commission's rules require that persons filing 
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests 
only to the applicant. 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 strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Secretary.
