Take notice that on September 29, 2008, Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, and Elk City Oklahoma Pipeline, L.P. (ECOP), c/o Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent LLC, 110 West 7th Street, Suite 2300, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74119, filed a joint application in Docket No. CP08–480– 000. Northern, pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), requests permission and approval to abandon by sale to Saleco, a new yet to be named Delaware limited liability company, 16 miles of 16-inch pipeline in Northern’s Field Area and receipt point facilities (Beckham System), with appurtenances facilities located in Roger Mills and Beckham counties, Oklahoma. Northern also requests Commission approval to abandon the primary firm service it provides with respect to a receipt point located on the facilities proposed for abandonment. Once Saleco is transferred to ECOP, the Beckham System will be operated by ECOP as part of its non-jurisdictional gathering system. Northern and ECOP also request in the filing a determination that, upon transfer to ECOP, the facilities in question will be classified as ‘‘gathering’’ under Section 1(b) of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at https:// www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Michael T. Loeffler, Senior Director of Certificates and External Affairs for Northern, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402) 398– 7103. Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59615 place it into the Commission’s public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff’s issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s FEIS or EA. 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. E:\FR\FM\09OCN1.SGM 09OCN1
