Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP01-259-000]


Ohio Valley Hub, LLC; Notice of Application

May 10, 2001.
    Take notice that on May 1, 2001, Ohio Valley Hub, LLC (OVH), 19 
Northwest Fourth Street, Suite 600, Evansville, Indiana 47708, filed in 
Docket No. CP01-259-000 an application pursuant to Section 1(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Commission's Rules and Regulations, for a 
declaration stating that OVH qualifies for Hinshaw status, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection. The filing may be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Specifically, OVH is asking the Commission to declare it as 
qualifying for Hinshaw status under Section 1(c) of the NGA and that 
neither OVH's construction, ownership and operation of the facilities 
located in Knox County, Indiana, nor the initial services related 
thereof will subject OVH or any portion of its facilities to the 
jurisdiction of the Commission under the NGA.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Mark 
W. Head, General Manager, Ohio Valley Hub, LLC, 19 Northwest Fourth 
Street, Suite 600, Evansville, Indiana 47708, call (812) 465-5231.
    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 May 31, 2001, 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. 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the internet is lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's 
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying a 
certificate will be issued.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
