principles of comparable open access
and non-discrimination contained in the
FPA and articulated in Federal Energy
Regulation Commission Order No. 888,
as amended (Promoting Wholesale
Competition Through Open Access
Non-Discriminatory Transmission
Services by Public Utilities). In
furtherance of this policy, DOE intends
to condition any Presidential permit
issued in this proceeding on compliance
with these open access principles.
Procedural Matters: Any person
desiring to become a party to this
proceeding or to be heard by filing
comments or protests to this application
should file a petition to intervene,
comment or protest at the address
provided above in accordance with
§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules
of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR
385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each
petition and protest should be filed with
DOE on or before the date listed above.
Additional copies of such petitions to
intervene or protest also should be filed

Before a Presidential permit may be
issued or amended, the DOE must
determine that the proposed action will
not adversely impact on the reliability
of the U.S. electric power supply
system. In addition, DOE must consider
the environmental impacts of the
proposed action (i.e., granting the
Presidential permit, with any conditions
and limitations, or denying it) pursuant
to the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA). DOE also must
obtain the concurrences of the Secretary
of State and the Secretary of Defense
before taking final action on a
Presidential permit application.
The NEPA compliance process is a
cooperative non-adversarial process
involving members of the public, state
governments, Tribal governments, and
the Federal government. The process
affords all persons interested in or
potentially affected by the
environmental consequences of a
proposed action an opportunity to
present their views, which will be
considered in the preparation of the
environmental documentation for the
proposed action. Intervening and
becoming a party to this proceeding will
not create any special status for the
petitioner with regard to the NEPA

process. Notices of forthcoming NEPA
