BILLING CODE 3710-92-M DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP05-355-000] Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application May 24, 2005. Take notice that Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), 1001 Lousiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP05-355-000 on May 16, 2005, an application pursuant to sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA)and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for authorization to construct its Northeast ConnecXion-NY/NJ Project. Tennessee requests authorization to construct, install and operate the proposed facilities, which include approximately six miles of looping on its existing Line 300 in western Pennsylvania, additional horsepower at its Stations 313 and 317 in Potter and Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania, and upgrades to the Ramsey Meter Station in Bergen County, New Jersey. These system enhancements are necessary for Tennessee to provide up to 50,000 Dth per day of incremental firm transportation capacity to its northeast markets and 51,100 Dth per day of incremental storage deliverability for its customer, Public Service Electric and Gas Company, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

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. *Comment Date:* June 14, 2005. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

(SIP)for Transportation Conformity Purposes: 5% Increment of Progress Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the Dallas-Fort Worth 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of adequacy determination. SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is notifying the public that we have found the on-road motor vehicle emissions budgets contained in the Dallas-Fort Worth moderate 8-hour ozone nonattainment area 5% Increment of Progress SIP adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of our finding, the budgets from the submitted SIP revision must be used for future conformity determinations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. DATES: These budgets are effective June 16, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The essential information in this notice will be available at EPA's conformity website: *http://www.epa.gov/oms/transp/conform/adequacy.htm.* You may also contact Ms. Peggy Wade, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), U.S. EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, telephone

(214)665-7247, Email address: *Wade.Peggy@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to EPA. The word “budget(s)” refers to the mobile source emissions budget for volatile organic compounds

(VOCs)and the mobile source emissions budget for nitrogen oxides (NO <sup>X</sup> ). The word “SIP” in this document refers to the State Implementation Plan submitted as a transition SIP between the 1-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, per the option given in 40 CFR 51.905(a)(ii)(B). This transitional SIP is also called the 5% Increment of Progress

(IOP)Plan. On May 17, 2005, we received the 5% IOP SIP for the Dallas-Fort Worth 9-county 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. There are two motor vehicle emissions budgets found in this plan for 2007. The emissions budget for VOCs is 104.14 tons/day; the NO <sup>X</sup> emissions budget is 201.32 tons/day. On January 20, 2005, the availability of these budgets was posted on EPA's website for the purpose of soliciting public comments. A technical error in the budgets was discovered during the review process and they were revised accordingly. An update announcing the availability of the revised MVEBs was posted on April 13, 2005. The comment period closed on May 12, 2005, and we received no comments. Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on May 16, 2005, finding that the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the Dallas-Fort Worth 9-county ozone nonattainment area are adequate and must be used for transportation conformity determinations. Transportation conformity is required by Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. EPA's conformity rule, 40 CFR part 93, requires that transportation plans, programs and projects conform to SIPs and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they do so. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The criteria by which EPA determines whether a SIP's motor vehicle emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). Please note that such an adequacy review is separate from EPA's completeness review, and it should not be used to prejudge EPA's ultimate action on the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 *et seq.* Dated: May 25, 2005. Richard E. Greene, Regional Administrator, Region 6. [FR Doc. 05-10991 Filed 5-31-05; 8:45 am]
