[Docket No. CP02-63-001]


White Rock Pipeline, L.L.C.; Notice of Amendment

February 11, 2002.
    Take notice that on February 11, 2002, White Rock Pipeline, L.L.C. 
(White Rock), 426 East Missouri Avenue, Pierre, South Dakota 57501, 
filed in Docket No. CP02-63-001, an amendment to its initial 
application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
part 157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations (Commission), for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing White Rock 
to operate an existing single-use pipeline that is approximately 10.5 
miles long and 4.5 inches in diameter, all as more fully set forth in 
the amendment 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).
    White Rock states that the proposed pipeline is to be used to 
transport natural gas from an interconnection with the Alliance 
Pipeline in North Dakota, to a end-use customer, the Tri-State Ethanol 
Company, L.L.C. (Tri-State), which is White Rock's affiliate. White 
Rock states that the proposed pipeline is located in a sparsely-
populated agricultural area in the extreme southeast corner of North 
Dakota and the extreme northeast corner of South Dakota. It is stated 
that the sole purpose and use of the pipeline will be to transport 
natural gas to White Rock's affiliate, Tri-State.
    White Rock states that the purpose of its amendment is to reflect 
that White Rock is, or soon will be, entirely owned by Tri-State. It is 
stated that the other owners of White Rock, other than Tri-State, have 
or in the near future will transfer any equity interest they have in 
the pipeline to Tri-State Ethanol Company, L.L.C., in order to 
accomplish the requested waiver regarding rate filings and other 
matters requested in the original application.
    Any questions regarding this amendment should be directed to James 
Robbennolt, Olinger, Lovald, Robbennolt, McCahren & Reimers, P.C., 117 
E. Capitol, P. O. Box 66, Pierre, S.D. 57501, at (605) 224-8851.
    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 February 19, 2002, 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, protests and interventions 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 amendment 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.

Secretary.
