On June 18, 2008, the Commission
staff granted Calais LNG’s and Calais
Pipeline’s request to utilize the PreFiling Process and assigned Docket No.
PF08–24 to staff activities involved with
the Calais projects. Now as of the filing
the December 18, 2009 application, the
Pre-Filing Process for this project has
ended. From this time forward, this
proceeding will be conducted in Docket
Nos. CP10–31–000 and CP10–32–000, as
noted in the caption of this Notice.
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 in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
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 commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
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.
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. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings.

owners’ express permission.
The proposed project would utilize
the existing North Canal Diversion Dam;
and would consist of the following new
facilities: (1) An approximately 50-footlong, 8- to 10-foot-diameter penstock to
accommodate flows up to 800 cubic feet
per second; (2) a powerhouse containing
two generating units having an installed
capacity of 1.8 megawatts; (3) an
approximately 500-foot-long, 21kilovolt-ampere transmission line; and
(4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an average annual
generation of 7.2 gigawatt-hours.
