DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP08-2-000]
El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application
October 11, 2007.
Take notice that on October 2, 2007, El Paso Natural Gas Company
(El Paso), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944,
filed in Docket No. CP08-2-000, an application under section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (Commission) regulations for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and operation of
new compression facilities and authorization to abandon, in place, its
existing Eunice Mainline Compressor Station located in Lea County, New
Mexico.
El Paso's proposal is more fully described as set forth in the
application that is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The instant filing may be also viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, call (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-
8659.
Any questions regarding the application should be directed to:
Richard L. Derryberry, Director of Regulatory Affairs, El Paso Natural
Gas Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944 at (719)
520-3782 or by fax at (719) 667-7534.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR.157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
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 below listed comment date, 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 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.
However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
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
[[Page 59086]]
to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a
comment 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.
Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
Comment Date: November 1, 2007.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
