All comments submitted under either eFiling or the Quick Comment option are placed in the public record for the specified docket or project number(s). Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an ‘‘intervenor.’’ Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the Commission’s eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission’s service list for this proceeding. If you want 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) (see appendix B). 4 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission’s decision. 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. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES Site Visit On July 15, 2008, the Office of Energy Projects’ (OEP) staff will conduct a precertification site visit of the proposed J–2 Loop Project. Representatives of Algonquin and Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board will accompany the OEP staff. We will tour the proposed project area by automobile and on foot viewing Algonquin’s proposed pipeline route, route variations, and aboveground facilities that are being considered for the proposed project. All interested parties may attend the site visit. Those planning to attend must provide their own transportation. If you are interested in attending the site visit, please meet us at 4:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Somerville High School, 81 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA. For additional information, please contact the Commission’s Office of 4 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:19 Jul 10, 2008 Jkt 214001 External Affairs at 1–866–208–FERC (3372).
