On August 21, 1995, Georgia-Pacific
Corporation, the licensee for the Forest
City Project No. 2660, filed a notice of
intent to file an application for a new
license, pursuant to section 15(b)(1) of
the Federal Power Act (FPA).1 The
original license was issued August 27,
1980, became effective April 1, 1962,
and expired August 31, 2000. The
project is currently operating under an
annual license.2 The project is a storage
reservoir located on the east branch of
the St. Croix River in Washington
5 The Commission’s regulation requires license
applications to be filed within 18 months of the
date a license applicant files its notice of intent.
However, because the Commission’s Integrated
Licensing Process calls for a three year preapplication process, section 16.25(b)(1) is extended
for this project.

The Forest City Project consists of a
16-foot-high, 500-foot-long dam and a
16,070-acre reservoir. There are no
generating facilities at the project. Water
is discharged from the Forest City Dam
and enters Spednick Lake, which is
regulated by the licensed Vanceboro
Project No. 2492.3 The water then flows
to Domtar’s unlicensed Grand Falls
Project, located 35 miles downstream
from the Forest City Project, and thence
an additional 12 miles to the unlicensed
Woodland generating project. The
Grand Falls and Woodland Projects,
both of which generate electricity, have
been found not to require licensing,
because they were authorized by a 1916
Act of Congress that predated the 1920
enactment of what is now part I of the
FPA.4
Pursuant to section 16.9 of the
Commission’s regulations, the deadline
for filing an application for new license
and any competing license application
was August 31, 1998. No application for
license for this project was filed.
Normally, pursuant to section 16.25 of
the Commission’s regulations, the
Commission would solicit applications
from potential applicants other than the
existing licensee. However, the
Commission’s Order On Rehearing, On
Clarification, and Lifting Stay,5
concludes that it would be in the public
interest to allow Domtar the opportunity
to file an application for new license for
this project and confirms that the
incumbent preference will apply in any
licensing proceedings that ensue. In the
rehearing order, the Commission waived
those parts of 18 CFR 16.24(a)(2) and

East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC;
Notice of Termination of Negotiated
Rates
December 20, 2005.
Take notice that on December 15,
2005, East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC
(East Tennessee) filed for authorization
to terminate negotiated rates applicable
to East Tennessee’s FT–A service
agreements with Eastman Chemical
Company (Eastman) and AFG
Industries, Inc. (AFG), effective
November 1, 2005.
East Tennessee states that it is filing
to terminate the identified negotiated
rate agreements in order to avoid
confusion and to make clear that the
settlement rates approved in Docket No.
RP05–672 apply to Eastman’s Contract
No. 31096 and AFG’s Contract No.
31095.
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 in accordance
with the provisions of Section 154.210
of the Commission’s regulations (18 CFR
154.210). Anyone filing an intervention
or protest must serve a copy of that
document on the Applicant. Anyone
filing an intervention or protest on or
before the intervention or protest date
need not 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
date a license applicant files its notice of intent.
However, because the Commission’s Integrated
Licensing Process calls for a three year preapplication process, section 16.25(b)(1) is extended
for this project.
