Rate Schedule NFTS-04, Wholesale Rates for Non-Federal Transmission/Interconnection Facilities Service. Rate Schedule EE-04, Wholesale Rate for Excess Energy. The Integrated System (System) rate schedules were confirmed and approved on an interim basis by the Deputy Secretary in Rate Order No. SWPA-51 for the period January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2008, and have been submitted to the FERC for confirmation and approval on a final basis for the same period. The System rates will increase the annual revenue from $114,973,800 to $123,549,964 primarily to recover increased expenditures in operation and maintenance (O&M) and investment. The total annual revenue increase will be $8,576,164, or 7.5 percent effective January 1, 2005. In addition, the PRS indicates the need for an annual increase of $737,300 in revenues received through the Purchased Power Adder to recover increased purchased energy costs. Southwestern has continued the rate structure that conforms with the intent of the FERC's Order No. 888; consequently, the actual rate impact on each customer will vary based on the type of service requested and provided.

At the interconnection with Tennessee a new meter station and various regulator facilities would be constructed. 1 Freebird's application was filed with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations. The applicant also requests authorization for a blanket certificate. 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. 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 Freebird 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 Freebird proposes to purchase and expand the existing East Detroit Gas Storage Field, (currently a non-jurisdictional facility) located in Lamar County, Alabama. The storage field is currently owned by Northwest Alabama Gas District. The applicant would raise the capacity of the storage field from 1.44 billion cubic feet
(Bcf)to approximately 7.5 Bcf. Five new compressor units would be installed onsite at the existing compressor station to increase available compression from 4,000 to 15,870 horsepower (hp), which would provide a withdrawal rate of 160,000 million cubic feet
(Mcf)per day for 30 consecutive days. Eight wells would be drilled and two new gathering lines, 0.65 and 0.41 miles in length, would be constructed within the existing boundaries of the storage facility. A 4.48 mile, 16-inch bi-directional lateral would be constructed to connect the storage facility to the “500 leg” of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee). At the interconnection with Tennessee, a new meter station would be constructed. Regulator facilities, located at the new meter station, will include a scraper trap, meters, associated piping for bi-directional flow, a chromatograph building, pressure regulation, and a heater. 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 website 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 about 69.21 acres of land. Following construction, about 49.29 acres would be maintained as new aboveground facility sites. The remaining 19.92 acres of land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use. 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 us 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 project. 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. 3 ”We”, “us”, and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP). 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. 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 and considered by the Commission. You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative locations and routes), 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 (1). • Reference docket numbers. • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before January 5, 2005. Please note that 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. Prepare your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on paper and save it to a file on your hard drive. Before you can file comments, you will need to create an account by clicking on “login to file” and then “New User Account”. You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. This filing is considered a “comment on filing.” Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA 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.

E4-3539 Filed 12-7-04; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RM05-1-000] Regulations Governing the Conduct of Open Seasons for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects; Supplemental Notice of Technical Conference and Agenda November 29, 2004. Take notice that as previously announced on October 26, 2004, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will host a technical conference in this proceeding on December 3, 2004 in Anchorage, Alaska. The Commission has initiated a rulemaking to establish regulations governing the conduct of open seasons for capacity on any Alaska natural gas transportation projects. These regulations are required by section 103(e) of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act of 2004, enacted into law on October 13, 2004. The Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NOPR)was issued in the above referenced Docket on November 15, 2004. The NOPR contains a preamble explaining the background of the proposed rule, several specific questions about issues related to the proposed rule, and specific proposed regulatory text. Written comments on the NOPR are required to be submitted by December 17, 2004. The Commission must issue regulations within 120 days of enactment of the Act, that is, by February 10, 2005. The Commission is now providing its agenda for the technical conference. All interested parties and the public are invited to attend. Conference Information *Date:* December 3, 2004. *Time:* 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Alaska time (2 p.m. to 8 p.m. eastern standard time). *Location:* Municipality of Anchorage, Loussac Library, Assembly Chambers, 3600 Denali Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99503. Summary of Proposed Regulations The full text of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is available through the Commission's eLibrary under Docket No. RM05-1. The proposed regulations first set forth the purpose and applicability of the proposed rules and certain definitions. That purpose is to prescribe rules for the conduct of any open season on any Alaska natural gas transportation project. Any applicant for a proposed Alaska natural gas transportation project must include a showing in its application to construct a project that it has conducted an open season for capacity allocation that fully complies with the requirements of the rules. The proposed rule requires that a public notice of an open season be issued by the project sponsor at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the open season through methods including postings on Internet Web sites, press releases, direct mail solicitations, and other advertising. Next, the proposed rule lists the information about a proposed project that any notice of open season for an Alaska natural gas transportation project must contain. The proposed rule states that an open season for an Alaska natural gas transportation project must remain open for a period of at least 90 days. Finally, the proposed rule requires that capacity allocated as a result of any open season shall be awarded without undue discrimination or preference of any kind. Technical Conference Agenda The Agenda for the technical conference is attached. In order to more efficiently use the limited time available, there will only be oral presentations at this conference; no power point presentations or use of other visual aids are being considered. Speakers should limit their prepared remarks to 10 minutes or less and be prepared to discuss the issues listed below with the Commission and their fellow panelists. The Commission will first receive comments from a panel of Alaska Elected Officials. Then the Commission Staff will present a short summary of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Next the Commission will hear comments from panels representing Potential Project Sponsors, Potential Project Shippers, and Other Agencies or Affected Enterprises. Lastly, the Technical Conference will close with an Open Forum featuring responses or questions based on previous panels and any additional points of view. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking includes five questions which the Commission expects will be addressed in detail in each interested party's written comments submitted by December 17th. However, as a guide to the discussions at the technical conference, panelists should be prepared to discuss the following general topics regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: • Explain how the proposed rule meets or does not meet the requirements of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act. • When should FERC oversight of capacity allocation activities of potential project sponsors begin? What capacity allocation activities happen before an open season under the rule is undertaken? • Are there certain capacity allocation issues/factors that are specific to the type of project sponsor, whether producer owned or independent pipeline owned; in-state shipper/user or lower-48 market shipper; producer/marketers or end-users; down-stream transporter, upstream gathering/processing, local utility regulators? • Should potential project sponsors be required to conduct and release results of Alaska market need studies before capacity is allocated? Should potential project sponsors be required to conduct and release results of Alaska infrastructure studies before capacity is allocated? Further Information Transcripts of the conference will be immediately available from Ace Reporting Company (202-347-3700 or 1-800-336-6646) for a fee. They will be available for the public on the Commission's eLibrary system seven calendar days after FERC receives the transcript.
