AES Ocean Express, LLC; Notice of Technical Conference

June 25, 2002.
    AES Ocean Express, LLC (Ocean Express) seeks authorization, 
pursuant to Sections 3 and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), to 
construct and operate a new pipeline to import gas from the Bahamas 
into Florida. The proposed route for the new pipeline traverses the 
Naval Surface Warfare Center's South Florida Testing Facility, located 
in waters off the coast of Broward County, Florida. The Navy has 
objected to this proposed routing, contending the pipeline as planned 
would interfere with the operational capabilities of the area's 
existing in-water laboratory and measurement facilities. Ocean Express 
has yet to present mitigation measures or route alternatives acceptable 
to the Navy.
    Take notice that a technical conference to discuss issues raised by 
proposed pipeline's routing will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2002, at 
10:00 a.m., in a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC, 
20426. Parties to this proceeding and interested local, state, and 
federal agencies that are not parties, but that share jurisdiction or 
regulatory responsibilities over matters that may pertain to the 
proposed pipeline routing, will be permitted to attend. In view of the 
nature of national security issues expected to be discussed, the 
conference will not be open to the public.
    Any party or authorized agency representative who is planning to 
attend the conference must notify the Commission Staff before 5 p.m. 
EST, Thursday, July 18, 2002. Please notify Mr. Richard Foley, Office 
of Energy Projects, Room 6N-07, in writing, or by calling (leave a 
message) at (202) 208-2245, or by e-mail to [email protected]. If 
any local, state, or federal authorized agency representative is unable 
to attend, but wishes to participate via teleconferencing, please so 
indicate. Teleconferencing details will be provided later, when secure 
communications are assured.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
