with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an application for 
certification of a facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility 
pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(b) of the Commission's regulations.
    Formosa Plastics operates a topping-cycle cogeneration facility in 
which gas is used as the source of fuel to two General Electric flame 
Six Gas Turbines and to supplemental firing in the associated Heat 
Recovery Boilers. The power production capacity of the facility is 
94,000 kw at 80 [deg]F ambient conditions. Formosa's mailing address is

    Formosa Plastics is connected to the electrical grid through 
Entergy-Gulf States. Entergy--Gulf States furnishes electricity to 
Formosa Plastics' Baton Rouge site primarily for the purpose of 
providing ``standby maintenance'' and ``emergency'' power. Entergy-Gulf 
States provides this service through ``General Service'' and ``Standby/
Maintenance'' utility contracts.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of

not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal
