or lessen environmental impacts. The
more specific your comments, the more
useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please follow these
instructions:
• 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 your comments
for the attention of OEP/DG2E/Gas
Branch 3.
• Reference Docket No. PF06–13–000
on the original and both copies.
• Mail your comments so that they
will be received in Washington, DC on
or before October 18, 2006. Appropriate
copies will be provided to the Coast
Guard.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing of any comments in
response to this NOI. For information on
electronically filing comments, please
see the instructions on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link
and the link to the User’s Guide as well
as information in 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii). Before you can file
comments you will need to create a free
account, which can be accomplished
on-line.
identified on the Commission’s service
list for this proceeding. Persons on the
service list with e-mail addresses may
be served electronically; others must be
served a hard copy of the filing.
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.
Becoming an Intervenor
Because the NEPA Pre-Filing Process
occurs before an application to begin a
proceeding is officially filed, petitions
to intervene during this process are
premature and will not be accepted by
the Commission. When Downeast files
its application for authorization to
construct the proposed facilities, the
Commission will publish notice of the
application in the Federal Register and
establish a deadline for interested
persons to intervene in the proceeding.
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). Intervenors have the right to
seek rehearing of the Commission’s
decision. Motions to Intervene should
be electronically submitted using the
Commission’s eFiling system at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons without Internet
access should send an original and 14
copies of their motion to the Secretary
of the Commission at the address
indicated previously. Persons filing
Motions to Intervene on or before the
comment deadline indicated above must
send a copy of the motion to the
Applicant. All filings, including late
interventions, submitted after the
comment deadline must be served on
the Applicant and all other intervenors
