(832)676-2251. 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, 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 385.211 and 385.214) 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. Comments and protests 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 website under the “e-Filing” link. The Commission strongly encourages intervenors to file electronically. 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 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 environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, Commenters 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 commenters or those requesting intervener status. The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the environmental aspects of the project. This preliminary determination typically considers such issues as the need for the project and its economic effect on existing customers of the applicant, on other pipelines in the area, and ion landowners and communities. For example, the Commission considers the extent to which the applicant may need to exercise eminent domain to obtain rights-of-way for the proposed project and balances that against the non-environmental benefits to be provided by the project. Therefore, if a person has comments on community and landowner impacts from this proposal, it is important to file comments or to intervene as early in the process as possible. *Comment Date:* October 30, 2003.

Take notice that on October 3, 2003, New England Gas Company (NEGASCO), 100 Weybosset Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02903, a division of Southern Union Company, filed in Docket No. CP04-7-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA)for a service area determination, a declaration that NEGASCO qualifies as a local distribution company
(LDC)and a waiver of the regulatory requirements under the NGA and the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

(202)502-8659. NEGASCO requests a service area determination to include the facilities necessary to connect NEGASCO's facilities in Rhode Island to those of Yankee Gas Services Company (Yankee Gas) in Connecticut in order to obtain additional pipeline supply to alleviate capacity shortfalls on the Algonquin pipeline. NEGASCO states that the enlarged service area would enable it to enlarge, extend and interconnect its distribution facilities with those of Yankee Gas without losing its status as a local distribution customer. NEGASCO proposes to construct approximately 75 feet of 8” diameter distribution main from Westerly, RI, into the state of Connecticut in order to accomplish the interconnection with Yankee Gas. 1 NEGASCO states that it meets the four criteria for a service area determination, that it is a local distribution company
(LDC)serving customers within a single state, that it makes only incidental sales for resale, that its operations are regulated by the appropriate state authority, that it does not have an extensive transmission system and that its operations do not have a significant impact on neighboring distribution companies. 1 Yankee Gas has concurrently filed in CP04-2-00, an application requesting a Blanket Certificate under Section 284.224 of the Commission's Regulations authorizing the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. Any questions regarding the application should be directed to James Moriarty or Regina Pace, Fleischman and Walsh, L.L.P., 1919 Pennsylvania Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20006,
(202)939-7900. NEGASCO explains that the proposed service area determination would not change NEGASCO's services or operations. NEGASCO also requests a declaration that it qualifies as an LDC for the purposes of Section 311 of the NGPA and a waiver of all reporting and accounting requirements applicable to natural gas companies under the NGA and the NGPA. 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 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 in the proceeding with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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 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. Protests and interventions 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.

Take notice that the draft environmental assessment issued on August 26, 2003, for Center Creek Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 1273-009 will serve as the final National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)document and a basis for any license order on the application. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the Center Creek Hydroelectric Project located on Center Creek, in Iron County, Utah, and prepared a draft Environmental Assessment
(EA)for the project. The project occupies 21.43 acres of United States lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The draft EA issued on August 26, 2003, contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

E3-00283 Filed 11-14-03; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-7587-1] Regional Haze Regulations; Availability of Guidance Documents AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of guidance availability. SUMMARY: We are announcing today the availability of guidance to assist States and Tribes in implementing regulations governing regional haze which were published in the **Federal Register** on July 1, 1999. These documents address the establishment of natural visibility conditions and the tracking of progress under the regional haze program. ADDRESSES: Interested parties can download the *Guidance for Estimating Natural Visibility Conditions Under the Regional Haze Program* and *Guidance for Tracking Progress Under the Regional Haze Program* from EPA's Web site on the Internet under the following address: *http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/visinfo.html.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Neil Frank, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (C304-01), Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; e-mail *frank.neil@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In section 169A of the 1977 Amendments to the Clean Air Act, Congress established a national visibility goal as the “prevention of any future, and the remedying of any existing, impairment of visibility in mandatory Federal Class I areas which impairment results from manmade air pollution” (42 U.S.C. 7491). These provisions were further supplemented by section 169B of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 7492). States are required to develop implementation plans that make “reasonable progress” toward this goal. The EPA issued initial visibility regulations in 1980 1 that addressed visibility impairment in a specific mandatory Federal Class I area that is determined to be “reasonably attributable” to a single source or small group of sources. Regulations to address regional haze were deferred until improved techniques could be developed in monitoring, modeling, and in understanding the effects of specific pollutants on visibility impairment. The EPA issued regional haze regulations in 1999. 2 1 *See* 45 FR 80084 (December 2, 1980). 2 *See* 64 FR 35713 (July 1, 1999). *See also* 40 CFR 51.300-51.309. The overall framework of the regional haze rule requires States to develop a State Implementation Plan that includes:
(1)Reasonable progress goals for improving visibility in each mandatory Federal Class I area and
(2)set of emission reduction measures to meet these goals. Specifically, States will set progress goals for each mandatory Federal Class I area to: • Provide for an improvement in visibility for the 20 percent most impaired ( *i.e.* , worst visibility) days over the period of the implementation plan, and • Ensure no degradation in visibility for the 20 percent least impaired ( *i.e.* , best visibility) days over the same period. Baseline visibility conditions for the 20 percent worst and 20 percent best days are to be determined using monitoring data collected during calendar years 2000-2004. Baseline conditions for 2000-2004, progress goals, and tracking changes over time are to be expressed in terms of the deciview index. 3 3 The deciview is a haze index derived from calculated light extinction, such that uniform changes in haziness correspond to uniform incremental changes in visual perception across the entire range of conditions, from pristine to highly impaired. Deciview = 10 ln( *b* <sup>ext</sup> /10). Most States (and Tribes as appropriate 4 ) participating in regional planning organizations will submit regional haze implementation plans, including estimates of natural conditions and proposed progress goals in the 2007-2008 time frame. In developing any progress goal, the State will need to analyze and consider in its set of options the rate of improvement between 2004 (when 2000-2004 baseline conditions are set) and 2018 that, if maintained in subsequent implementation periods, would result in achieving estimated natural conditions in 2064. 4 Under the Tribal Air Rule (63 FR 7254; February 12, 1998; 40 CFR part 49), Tribal governments may elect to implement air programs in much the same way as States, including development of Tribal implementation plans. The purpose of the documents announced in today's notice is to provide guidance to the States and Tribes in implementing the regional haze program and to explain how EPA intends to exercise its discretion in implementing Clean Air Act provisions and EPA regulations concerning the estimation of natural visibility and tracking progress under the Regional Haze program. The guidance documents are designed to implement national policy on these issues. The guidance documents are designed to assist States and Tribes in implementing national policy on these issues. Sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations at 40 CFR 51.308 and 51.309 contain legally binding requirements. These guidance documents will not substitute for those provisions or regulations, nor will they constitute regulations themselves. Thus, they will not impose binding, enforceable requirements on any party, and may not apply to a particular situation based upon the circumstances. We and State decision makers retain the discretion to adopt approaches on a case-by-case basis that differ from this guidance where appropriate. Any decisions by us regarding a particular SIP demonstration will only be made based on the statute and regulations. Therefore, you are free to raise questions and objections about the appropriateness of the application of this guidance to a particular situation; we will, and States should, consider whether or not the recommendations in this guidance are appropriate in that situation. These guidance documents will be living documents and may be revised periodically without public notice. We welcome public comments on these documents at any time and will consider those comments in any future revision of these guidance documents. Because these documents are not regulations and do not impose binding requirements, we are not required to solicit public comments on them.
