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 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 commentors will be placed on the Commission’s PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5305 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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: February 14, 2006. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

On December 30, 2005, Venice Gathering System, L.L.C. (Venice Gathering) filed to seek an extension of the emergency waiver of § 358.4(a)(2) of the Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 358.4(a)(2) (2005). Venice Gathering requests an extension of that waiver as VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:49 Jan 31, 2006 Jkt 208001 it relates to section 358.4(a)(2) of the Commission’s regulations until March 31, 2006 or the date on which the Venice Gathering system has returned to full pre-hurricane operation. On the same date, in a separate filing, Venice Gathering filed to seek an extension of § 358.4(b)(3)(iv) of the Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 358.4(b)(3)(iv) (2005) with respect to the deadline for updating the information contained in its posted employee organizational charts and its posted job descriptions. Venice Gathering requests an extension of that waiver as it relates to § 358.4(b)(3)(iv) of the Commission’s regulations until January 31, 2006. Venice owns and operates a FERCjurisdictional natural gas gathering and transmission system consisting of (1) A twenty-six-inch mainline, extending from the South Timbalier Block 151 compressor platform in the Gulf of Mexico to the Venice Plant, (2) a twenty-four-inch mainline extending from the South Timbaliler Block 151 compressor platform to the West Delta Block 79A platform, and (3) a twentytwo-inch mainline extending from the West Delta Block 79A platform to the Venice Plant located near Venice, Louisiana. In its initial request for exemption, Venice stated that Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to processing plants and offshore pipelines located along the Louisiana Gulf Coast, including the Venice Plant and the Venice Gathering system. In its motions for an extension, Venice explains that restoration work has proceeded diligently at the Venice Gathering and Venice Plant facilities. Venice notes, however, that this restoration work is expected to continue well into 2006. Venice states that these extensions are needed to permit all employees within its parent company who have expertise and availability to assist in the restoration efforts to engage in detailed communications about the status of the restoration efforts and to coordinate joint operations and repair work, without regard to their designations under Order No. 2004 and without the requirement to log each individual deviation from the Standards of Conduct. In its January 18, 2006 supplement to the motions for an extension, Venice Gathering clarifies that limited quantities of gas are flowing to Trunkline Gas Company LLC through two new interconnections. Venice Gathering clarifies, further, that although the Venice Plant is not currently operational and is not expected to become operational for some time, it is working with Venice Energy Services Company, L.L.C. and PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with the appropriate downstream pipelines to allow gas to flow in its prehurricane direction without being processed in the Venice Plant. Venice Gathering states that, in order to enable it to take all appropriate steps within its control to restore its system to full, pre-hurricane operations, it is necessary that the waiver of the recording and posting requirements of section 358.4(a)(2) of the Commission’s regulations be extended. Venice Gathering states, further, that due to the significant Targa resources devoted to the restoration project, it is left with limited resources to carry out revisions to its website postings related to its recent change in control after the Targa acquisition. The Commission initially granted a temporary emergency waiver of §§ 358.4(a)(2) and 358.4(b)(3)(iv) of the Commission’s regulations in a notice issued on November 28, 2005 in order to allow Venice Gathering to proceed with the restoration work on its pipeline facilities and on the Venice Gathering Processing Plant necessitated by Hurricane Katrina. The Commission granted the waiver until the earlier of the end of the gas day on December 31, 2005, or the date on which the Venice Gathering system returned to full prehurricane operation, without prejudice to Venice Gathering requesting a further extension, if necessary. The Commission notes that Venice issued a notice on its Internet website indicating that it estimates the repairs will be completed by February 1, 2006.1 The Commission also notes that Venice asserts that it is able to make nominations for gas at two receipt points. The Commission, therefore, will grant Venice Gathering an extension of waiver of the otherwise applicable requirements of section 358.4(a)(2) to record and post a log of emergencyrelated deviations from the Standards of Conduct until the end of the gas day on January 31, 2006. This waiver extension is granted without prejudice to Venice requesting a further extension, if necessary, with specific justification for such a request. The Commission also grants an extension for the waiver of the recording and posting requirements of section 358.4(b)(3)(iv) requirements to post updated information on organizational changes resulting from the acquisition by Targa Resources, Inc. (Targa) of Venice Gathering’s managing member, Dynegy Midstream Services, Limited Partnership (Dynegy Midstream) until January 31, 2006. 1 See https://www.venicegathering.com/Notices/ notice010406htm (January 20, 2006).
