(202)502-8659. Eastern Shore proposes to construct and operate the M&R station in an area north of Seaford, Delaware, off of Sussex County Road No. 532, approximately 200 feet from Eastern Shore's existing pipeline. Eastern Shore states that no additional system capacity will be created by the construction of the new M&R station. However, if the new station is not constructed and operable in a timely manner, Chesapeake may be unable to meet its full customer demand for natural gas in the upcoming winter heating season in this area. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $94,792 and will be paid for in its entirety by the customer. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Elaine B. Bittner, Director, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company, 417 Bank Lane, Dover, Delaware 19904 at
(302)734-6710, ext. 6016. 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 385.214 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. 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). 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. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant. The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at *http://www.ferc.gov.* Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. *Comment Date:* November 18, 2004.

E4-3065 Filed 11-5-04; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP05-3-000] CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Line Ad Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues November 1, 2004. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment
(EA)that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Line AD Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission
(CEGT)in Caddo, Hughes, and Grady Counties, Oklahoma. 1 The Line AD Expansion Project would involve the construction of two new compressor stations, the Hinton and Allen Compressor Stations, and adding a compressor unit within CEGT's existing Amber Compressor Station in order to install 28,265 hp of additional compression to CEGT's Line AD. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. 1 CEGT's application was filed with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and part 157 of the Commission's regulations. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with State law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” was attached to the project notice CEGT provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ). Summary of the Proposed Project CEGT wants to expand the capacity of its Line AD by approximately 112,900 Decatherms
(Dth)per day by installing 28,265 horsepower of additional compression in Caddo, Hughes, and Grady counties, Oklahoma. This will increase Line AD capacity to receive Rocky Mountain gas supplies for transportation west to east across CEGT's system. Specifically, CEGT seeks authority to construct and operate: • 10,310 hp of gas turbine-driven compression at a new site called the Hinton Compressor Station in Caddo County, Oklahoma; • 13,220 hp of gas turbine-driven compression at a new site called the Allen Compressor Station in Hughes County, Oklahoma; • 4,735 hp of additional reciprocating gas engine-driven compression at the existing Amber Compressor Station in Grady County, Oklahoma. The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1. 2 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies of all appendices, other than appendix 1 (maps), are available on the Commission's Web site at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202)502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail. Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities would require a total of about 9.6 acres of land. Following construction, about 4.3 acres would be fenced in as part of the compressor station facilities. The EA Process The National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as “scoping”. The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. In the EA we 3 will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: 3 “We”, “us”, and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP). • Water resources. • Vegetation and wildlife. • Cultural resources. • Geology and soils. • Land use. • Air quality and noise. • Endangered and threatened species. • Hazardous waste. • Public safety. We will not discuss impacts to the following resource areas since they are not present in the project area, or would not be affected by the proposed facilities. • Fisheries, wetlands and hazardous waste sites. We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to Federal, State, and local agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners, newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public participation section beginning on page 7. Currently Identified Environmental Issues We have already identified several issues that we think deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and the environmental information provided by CEGT. This preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis. • Five federally listed endangered or threatened species and two candidate species may occur in Caddo County (Hinton Compressor Station) and five federally listed endangered or threatened species have the potential to occur in Hughes County (Allen Compressor Station). • A total of 4.6 acres of agricultural land would convert to industrial use. • Decrease in air quality due to emissions from the two new compressor stations as well as increased levels of Hazardous Air Pollutant (formaldehyde) emissions from the existing Amber Compressor Station. • Increase in noise pollution within the surrounding region of the new Hinton and Allen Compressor Stations. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EA/EIS and considered by the Commission. You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative locations), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time and properly recorded: • Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 3. • Reference Docket No. CP05-3-000. • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before December 1, 2004. Please note that we are continuing to experience delays in mail deliveries from the U.S. Postal Service. As a result, we will include all comments that we receive within a reasonable time frame in our environmental analysis of this project. However, the Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments or interventions or protests to this proceeding. *See* 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the “e-Filing” link and the link to the User's Guide. Before you can file comments you will need to create a free account which can be created on-line. We might mail the EA for comment. If you are interested in receiving it, please return the Information Request (Appendix 4). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be taken off the mailing list. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA/EIS scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an “intervenor”. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the Commission's eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) ( *see* Appendix 2). 4 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 4 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. *See* the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered. Environmental Mailing List An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the Commission's regulations of certain aboveground facilities. By this notice we are also asking governmental agencies, especially those in Appendix 3, to express their interest in becoming cooperating agencies for the preparation of the EA.

On August 27, 2004, 1 the Commission issued an order directing the Commission Staff to convene a technical conference to discuss certain issues raised by Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP (Cove Point) in a July 30, 2004, filing. 1 Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP, 108 FERC ¶ 61,211 (2004). The purpose of the technical conference that is the subject of this notice is to discuss whether tariff language proposed by Cove Point in a ministerial filing is consistent with current Commission policies concerning title transfer tracking, as well as the practices of other LNG terminals. Protestors assert that the tariff language Cove Point is proposing was originally included in its tariff in 1995, prior to the widespread use of technology permitting instant transfers of information. They assert that the requirement of two business days before providing parties with notification of a requested transfer is an obstacle to the efficient, market driven transactions that the Commission has promoted. This technical conference will therefore give interested parties the opportunity to discuss whether Cove Point's proposal is justifiable or, as protesters assert, unreasonable in light of today's communications technology. Take notice that the conference will be held on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 10 a.m. (EST), in a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. All interested parties and staff are permitted to attend. Any questions or concerns about the conference should be directed to: Eric Winterbauer, Office of the General Counsel—Markets, Tariffs and Rates, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
