the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an
intervenor are in the User’s Guide under
the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s
Web site.

Scoping Meetings
Commission staff will hold two
scoping meetings to discuss both
projects at the time and place noted
below. The daytime meeting will focus
on resource agency, Indian tribes, and
non-governmental organization
concerns, while the evening meeting is
primarily for receiving input from the
public. We invite all interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies
to attend one or both of the meetings,
and to assist staff in identifying
particular study needs, as well as the
scope of environmental issues to be
addressed in the environmental
document. The times and locations of
these meetings are as follows:
Daytime Scoping Meeting
Date: Thursday, December 13, 2012.
Time: 1:00 p.m. (CST).

individuals and entities on the
Commission’s mailing list for each
project. Copies of SD1 will be available
at the scoping meetings, or may be
viewed on the Web at https://
www.ferc.gov, using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
Follow the directions for accessing
information in paragraph n. Based on all
oral and written comments, a Scoping
Document 2 (SD2) may be issued. SD2
may include a revised process plan and
schedule, as well as a list of issues,
identified through the scoping process.
Meeting Objectives
At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1)
Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review
and discuss existing conditions and
resource management objectives; (3)
review and discuss existing information
and identify preliminary information
and study needs; (4) review and discuss
the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time
frames provided for in Part 5 of the
Commission’s regulations and, to the
extent possible, maximizes coordination
of federal, state, and tribal permitting
and certification processes; and (5)
discuss the appropriateness of any
federal or state agency or Indian tribe
acting as a cooperating agency for
development of an environmental
document.
Meeting participants should come
prepared to discuss their issues and/or
concerns. Please review the PADs for
both projects in preparation for the
scoping meetings. Directions on how to
obtain a copy of the PADs and SD1 are
