Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P.; Notice of Complaint April 9, 2004. Take notice that on April 7, 2004, the City of Hamilton, Ohio (Hamilton) filed a complaint against Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P. (Texas Eastern) pursuant to sections 5(a), 13, 14, and 16 of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. 717d(a), 717l, 717m, and 717o, and rule 206 of the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 18 CFR 385.206 (2003). Hamilton alleges that Texas Eastern is violating Commission policy on market center development by employing a rate design and applying its tariff provisions in a way that severely impedes the natural formation of market centers and inhibits the flexible commercial interchange of natural gas. Hamilton alleges further that Texas Eastern's rate structure requires customers to pay for more transportation that they need because it is based on overly-expansive zones. Hamilton also alleges that Texas Eastern's rates violate the Commission's regulations by constraining shippers' rights to segmentation due to application of multiple fuel use charges, and violate the Commission's policies regarding backhauls. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should file 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).

On March 30, 2004, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 43201, filed an application in the above referenced docket, pursuant to sections 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) rules and regulations for an order permitting and approving the abandonment of four Type 26 compressor engines and auxiliary equipment at the Hugoton Compressor Station located in Grant County, Kansas. Southern Star states that the four Cooper Bessemer Type 26 compressor engines are no longer required to provide the service for which they were originally installed due to production decline from the Kansas-Hugoton Gas Field. Southern Star asserts that the horsepower additions at the Hugoton station approved by the Commission in 1968 and 1997 are more than sufficient to move Southern Star's current contractual obligations as well as any anticipated future volumes. Furthermore, the Type 26 compressor engines are now inefficient to operate and maintain and, consequently, are no longer used and useful. Southern Star states that the reclaim will include the twelve

(12)engines previously abandoned and disconnected in 1968 and 1997 that still remain in the same place. The building housing of all of the Type 26 engines will be removed except for one section that will be used for storage.

(270)853-4654. 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. 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. 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. *Comment Date:* April 29, 2004. Linda Mitry, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc.

On April 7, 2004, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development—South, granted the request for blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following: Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Styrka 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). Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to intervene or protests, as set forth above, is May 7, 2004. Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, Styrka is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of Styrka, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes. The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by continued approval of Styrka's issuances of securities or assumptions of liability. Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Take notice that on April 1, 2004, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, filed in Docket No. CP04-99-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.208(b) of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to replace the existing turbine at the Jeffersontown Compressor Station of Texas Gas in Jefferson County, Kentucky, under the authorization issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully described in the request. Copies of this request are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Web at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link.

(202)502-8659. Texas Gas asserts that the proposed replacement is necessary in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions at the Texas Gas Jeffersontown Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Texas Gas states that the existing turbine/compressor package (T-1 unit) is rated at 12,090 NEMA horsepower. Texas Gas states further that the T-1 unit will be replaced with a new Solar Mars Model 100-T15000S gas turbine packaged with a Solar C652 two-stage gas compressor (T-2 unit). The T-2 unit, it is said, is rated at 13,330 NEMA horsepower. Texas Gas points out that the replacement would result in a net increase in the installed horsepower at the Jeffersontown of 1,240 HP. Texas Gas concludes that the additional horsepower at Jeffersontown would not increase the overall capacity of the pipeline system, as no additional gas can flow through the upstream constraints at Greenville, nor continue to flow through Jeffersontown through the downstream constraints through Dillsboro. Texas Gas maintains that the estimated cost to install the replacement unit would be $13.5 million and would be financed from funds generated internally. Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to rule 214 of the Commission's procedural rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA)(18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA. Comments, 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.

Please include the docket number (DI04-5-000) on any comments or motions filed. k. *Description of Project:* The proposed Gulf Stream Ocean Current Electricity Project would anchor a cluster of Electricity Production Units

(EPU)more than three miles offshore, in a 1,000-square-mile area off the Florida coast between Miami and Palm Beach. Each EPU is approximately 240 feet long, with two counter-rotating fiberglass blades, and will incorporate buoyancy and anchoring systems, electrical generators, and transmission cables. The units would be anchored to the sea floor at a depth of more than 200 feet, eight per mile, and would generate approximately three megawatts of electricity, using the Gulf Stream current. The units would be connected to on-shore monitoring stations via undersea transmission cables. These on-shore stations will monitor pressure, temperature, vibration, RPM, and power output, and would be connected to an interstate power grid. The initial project would be located more than three miles offshore of the City of Riviera Beach, with a transmission line connecting to a land station on Singers Island. This land station would be connected to an interstate grid. When a Declaration of Intention is filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the Commission to investigate and determine if the interests of interstate or foreign commerce would be affected by the project. The Commission also determines whether or not the project:

(1)Would be located on a navigable waterway;

(2)would occupy or affect public lands or reservations of the United States;

(3)would utilize surplus water or water power from a government dam; or

(4)if applicable, has involved or would involve any construction subsequent to 1935 that may have increased or would increase the project's head or generating capacity, or have otherwise significantly modified the project's pre-1935 design or operation. l.
