FGT further states that on March 19, 2004, in Docket No. RP04-222-000, FGT filed a flex adjustment of (0.39%) to be effective April 1, 2004, which, when combined with the Base FRCP of 3.14% resulted in an Effective FRCP of 2.75%.

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 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 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. 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. *Comments Due:* June 3, 2004.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment
(EA)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Transwestern Pipeline Company (Transwestern) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the proposed San Juan 2005 Expansion Project. Transwestern proposes to expand its natural gas system by the construction of approximately 72.6 miles of pipeline loop and modifying facilities at three existing compressor stations in New Mexico. The purpose of the San Juan 2005 Expansion Project is to provide additional natural gas pipeline capacity for upstream producers and shippers of natural gas from the San Juan and Rocky Mountain basins. Transwestern states that it is proposing to construct these facilities in order to transport up to 375 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas to downstream markets in the Southwestern and Midwestern United States. The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202)502-8371. Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, State and local agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers, and parties to this proceeding. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that we receive your comments before the date specified below.

These projects are located in the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Southwestern's marketing area includes these States plus Kansas and Louisiana. The costs associated with the hydropower facilities of 22 of the 24 projects are repaid via revenues received under the Integrated System rates, as are those of Southwestern's transmission facilities, which consist of 1,380 miles of high-voltage transmission lines, 24 substations, and 46 microwave and VHF radio sites. Costs associated with the Sam Rayburn and Robert D. Willis Dams, two Corps of Engineers projects that are isolated hydraulically, electrically, and financially from the Integrated System are repaid under separate rate schedules and are not addressed in this notice. Following Department of Energy guidelines, the Administrator, Southwestern, prepared a Current Power Repayment Study using existing system rates. The Study indicates that Southwestern's legal requirement to repay the investment in power generating and transmission facilities for power and energy marketed by Southwestern will not be met without an increase in revenues. The need for increased revenues is primarily due to increased Operations and Maintenance (O&M) power-related expenses for the U.S. Army's Corps of Engineers and increased investments in the hydroelectric generating facilities. The Revised Power Repayment Study shows that additional annual revenues of $9,038,697, (an 8 percent increase), beginning January 1, 2005, are needed to satisfy repayment criteria. A Rate Design Study has also been completed which allocates the revenue requirement to the various system rate schedules for recovery, and provides for transmission service rates in general conformance with FERC Order No. 888. The proposed new rates would increase estimated annual revenues from $114,973,800 to $124,012,497 and would satisfy the present financial criteria for repayment of the project and transmission system investments within the required number of years. As indicated in the Integrated System Rate Design Study, this revenue would be developed primarily through increases in the charges for energy and transmission services, to include some of the ancillary services for deliveries of both Federal and non-Federal power and associated energy from the transmission system of Southwestern. There is also an increased charge for transformation services for deliveries at voltages of 69 kV (kilovolt) or less. A second component of the Integrated System rates for power and energy, the purchased power adder, produces revenues which are segregated to cover the cost of power purchased to meet contractual obligations. The purchased power adder is established to reflect what is expected to be needed by Southwestern to meet purchased power needs on an average annual basis. It has been increased from the existing rate to reflect the projected power costs based on present market rates. The Administrator's authority to adjust the purchased power adder annually at his/her discretion, plus or minus $0.0011 per kilowatt hour (kWh), will remain the same. Below is a general comparison of the existing and proposed system rates: Existing rates Proposed rates GENERATION RATES Rate Schedule P-02 (System Peaking) Rate Schedule P-04 (System Peaking) *Capacity* Grid or 138-161kV $2.72/kW/Mo + up to $0.0112/kW/Mo (ancillary services) for generation within control area: $2.73/kW/Mo + up to $0.0112/kW/Mo ancillary services) for generation within control area: Regulatory Ancillary Services +$0.06/kW/Mo for deliveries within control area, + Reserve Ancillary Services: up to $0.0112/kW/Mo for generation in control area Regulation Ancillary Services +$0.07/kW/Mo for deliveries within control area, + Reserve Ancillary Services: up to: $0.0154/kW/Mo for generation in control area. 69 kV Transformation Service Transformation Service+ + $0.28/kW/Mo (applied to usage, not reservation) + $0.30/kW/Mo (applied to usage, not reservation) *Energy* $0.005/kWh of Peaking Energy + $0.005/kWh of Supplemental Peaking Energy + a Purchased Power Adder of $0.0025 of Peaking Energy (± 0.0011 annually at Administrator's discretion) $0.0082/kWh of Peaking Energy + $0.005/kWh of Supplemental Peaking Energy + a Purchased Power Adder of $0.0028 of Peaking Energy (± 0.0011 annually at Administrator's discretion).
