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:* August 18, 2004. Linda Mitry, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc.

Take notice that on July 23, 2004, Pogo Producing Company
(Pogo)filed an Application for Emergency Relief pursuant to Section 5(e) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 43 U.S.C. 1334(e), requesting an emergency order allocating pipeline capacity on Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern) upstream of the Toca, Louisiana processing plant (Toca Plant) to avoid unnecessary curtailment or shut-in of OCS oil and gas production connected into Southern's facilities beginning August 1, 2004 and for so long as the maintenance shut-down of the Toca No. 1 processing unit (Toca 1 Unit) continues, expected to be two to four weeks. In the Application, Pogo states that because of reduced processing capability at the Toca plant operated by Enterprise Operating Partners, LLC, during the period of maintenance shut-down, Southern has notified all shippers that it intends to institute a 25 degree hydrocarbon dewpoint
(HDP)limit under its FERC Gas Tariff at the Enterprise, Mississippi Monitoring Point. Such a limitation will require curtailments of oil and gas production on the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS)upstream of the Toca Plant. Pogo requests an emergency allocation of pipeline receipt point capacity upstream of the Toca Plant that will maximize OCS oil and gas production during the period of the Toca Unit 1 shut-down. Specifically, Pogo requests that the Commission, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, enter an order directing Southern to cause gas supplies that enter Southern's system at the OCS interconnects with the Viosca Knoll Gathering System and Mississippi Canyon Pipeline Company to be diverted by setting the flow rate at those two pipeline interconnects at zero during the period of the Toca 1 Unit shut-down. 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). Because of the emergency nature of the relief requested, all such motions or protests must be filed on or before Tuesday, July 27, 2004. 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.

(202)564-5671. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement. Once implemented, the Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) would resolve a citizen suit brought pursuant to CAA section 304(a)(2) and the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. section 706(1), to compel a response to the Petition filed by the Plaintiffs in January 2003. The Petition, which was filed pursuant to CAA section 505(b)(2), asked that the Administrator object to a CAA title V operating permit issued by the State of Georgia for the Hercules, Inc. wood rosins and products manufacturing facility in Brunswick, Georgia. The State of Georgia and Hercules, Inc. have intervened as Defendants-Intervenors. Upon execution of the Agreement, the parties shall jointly request that the Court stay the litigation to allow implementation of the Agreement; absent a stay, the Agreement shall be void. 1 1 The Agreement was executed on July 15, 2004, and the parties filed a joint stay motion with the Court on July 16, 2004. The Agreement, which is subject to CAA section 113(g), acknowledges that Plaintiffs intend to submit a memorandum (the “Submission”) to EPA further supporting the Petition and requires Plaintiffs to provide that Submission to EPA within 30 days after both parties have signed the Agreement. The Agreement provides that EPA shall sign an order granting or denying the Petition no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days after receiving the Submission. (If Plaintiffs fail to provide a timely Submission to EPA, EPA may grant or deny the Petition at any time during the 90 days following the date the Submission is due.) EPA shall provide notice of such order to Plaintiffs within five business days following signature of such order, and EPA shall deliver notice of such order to the Office of the Federal Register no later than ten calendar days following signature of such order. Plaintiffs shall seek dismissal of the litigation with prejudice upon EPA's compliance with these obligations. During a 120-day period after entry of a Court order dismissing this case, the parties shall seek to informally resolve any claim for litigation costs, including attorney's fees, and if they cannot, Plaintiffs may seek such costs from the Court. For a period of thirty
(30)days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determine, based on any comment which may be submitted, that consent to the settlement agreement should be withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be affirmed. II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement A. How Can I Get A Copy of the Settlement? EPA has established an official public docket for this action under Docket ID No. OGC-2004-0008 which contains a copy of the Agreement. The official public docket is available for public viewing at the Office of Environmental Information
(OEI)Docket in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is
(202)566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is
(202)566-1752. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, EPA Dockets. You may use EPA Dockets at *http://www.epa.gov/edocket/* to submit or view public comments, to access the index listing of the contents of the official public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select “search,” then key in the appropriate docket identification number. It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing in EPA's electronic public docket as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not included in the official public docket or in EPA's electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket Center. B. How and to Whom Do I Submit Comments? You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The electronic public docket system is an “anonymous access” system, which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail (e-mail) system is not an “anonymous access” system. If you send an e-mail comment directly to the Docket without going through EPA's electronic public docket, your e-mail address is automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. Dated: July 21, 2004. Lisa K. Friedman, Associate General Counsel, Air and Radiation Law Office, Office of General Counsel. [FR Doc. 04-17380 Filed 7-29-04; 8:45 am]
