Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex,
LLC; Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc.; Notice of Application
Take notice that on May 30, 2012,
Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex,
LLC (Atlas) and Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer), filed in
the above referenced docket a joint
application pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157
of the Commission’s regulations, for a
limited jurisdiction certificate
authorizing Atlas and Pioneer to
construct and operate a jointly-owned
10.2-mile natural gas pipeline (the
Driver Residue Pipeline) in Midland
County, Texas, all as more fully set forth
in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public
inspection. The pipeline will be used to
transport natural gas from a natural gas
processing plant (the Driver Plant),
which Atlas and Pioneer are planning to
construct to interconnections with three
gas transmission pipeline systems. Atlas
and Pioneer are the only parties that
will transport gas on the proposed
pipeline and therefore are seeking
general waivers of the Commission’s
tariff and rate regulations. The filing is
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, contact FERC
at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call
toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202)

Any questions concerning this
application may be directed for Atlas to

within 90 days of this Notice the

Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
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 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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
35959
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors 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 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.
Motions to intervene, protests and
comments 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.

k. Description of the Application: The
City of Hastings, Minnesota proposes to
delete the two hydrokinetic turbines
from the Mississippi Lock and Dam No.
2 conventional hydropower project,
which were authorized to be part of the
conventional project in 2008. Only one
of the hydrokinetic units was deployed,
and the unit has been removed and out
of service since mid-2010 due to
potential flood waters. All components
of the unit are no longer in service and
the tailrace of the conventional
hydropower project has been returned
to its pre-hydrokinetic unit condition.
Therefore, the licensee proposes to
amend the license to delete from the
license: two hydrokinetic turbines rated
at 35 kW each, suspended below a 68foot-wide, 40-foot-long floating barge
tethered to the existing dam structure
and anchored for stability using anchors
and spuds; two synchronous alternating
current (AC) generating units that sit
atop the barge; a 225-ampere molded
case circuit breaker along with a 480volt, three-phase feeder connecting the
hydrokinetic units to the existing power
plant distribution system; and
appurtenant facilities. In addition, the
licensee proposes to delete articles 57
through 70 of the license, and Exhibits
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
F–7, F–8, and G–1 of the license as they
pertain to the hydrokinetic units.
l. A copy of the application is
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number (P–4306–035) excluding the last

Intervene: Anyone may submit

intervene in accordance with the
requirements of Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, .214.
In determining the appropriate action to
