[Docket No. CP01-176-001]


Georgia Strait Crossing Pipeline LP; Notice of Amendment

November 21, 2001.
    Take notice that on October 11, 2001, Georgia Strait Crossing 
Pipeline LP (GSX-US), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, 
filed in Docket No. CP01-176-001, an amendment to its April 24, 2001 
application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity filed 
in Docket No. CP01-176-000. With this amendment, GSX-US is requesting 
authorization to construct and operate a new interstate natural gas 
transmission system consisting of approximately 47 miles of pipeline, 
the Cherry Point Compressor Station and other related facilities in the 
state of Washington, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available 
for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket #'' and 
follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    GSX-US states that it has amended its original application to 
reflect: (i) Minor route variations that add about \1/2\ mile of 
pipeline to the project, along with the relocation/resizing of the site 
for the proposed Cherry Point Compressor Station; (ii) selection of a 
more efficient compressor package that will result in increased system 
design capacity and lowered recourse reservation rates; and (iii) the 
relocation of an onshore delivery tap and addition of a offshore 
delivery tap to facilitate potential future delivery interconnects.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Gary 
Kotter, Manager, Certificates, GSX Pipeline, L.L.C., P.O. Box 58900, 
Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, call (801) 584-7117.
    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

[[Page 59416]]

to the proceedings for this project should, on or before December 12, 
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.
    Comments and protests 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.
    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.
