Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP98-150-002]


Millennium Pipeline Company, L.P.; Notice of Amendment

July 6, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 28, 2000, Millennium Pipeline Company, 
L.P. (Millennium), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22030, 
filed in Docket No. CP09-150-002 an amendment to its pending 
application filed in Docket No. CP98-150-000, to reflect a route 
variation in Westchester County, New York, all as more fully set forth 
in the application to amend which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Millennium states that Millennium and the Public Service Commission 
of the State of New York (PSCNY) have identified an alternative 
pipeline route in Westchester County, New York which they believe could 
satisfy the safety concerns that have been expressed by the PSCNY. 
Millennium indicates that the alternative route for the most part 
departs from the powerline right-of-way of Consolidated Edison Company 
of New York, Inc. and instead follows public highways and bike trails 
for most of its length.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 27,

[[Page 42999]]

2000, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the 
Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties 
to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protestors 
provide copies of their protests to the party or parties directly 
involved.
    Any person wishing to become a party in any proceeding herein must 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's rules.
    A person obtaining intervenor 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 every one of the 
intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice 
before the Commission or its designee on this application if no motion 
to intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the 
Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the 
certificate is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on 
its own motion believes that formal hearing is required, further notice 
of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Millennium to appear or to be represented at 
the hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
