    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)

with the Hualapai Nation to address certain issues regarding the 
proposed Red Lake Gas Storage Project. The meeting will be held on 
February 12, 2003, at 1 pm, at the Hualapai Nation's Tribal 
Multipurpose Building in Peach Springs, Arizona 86434. This is a 
rescheduled meeting that was supposed to have been held on January 24, 
2003.
    The Commission staff will be preparing an environmental assessment 
(EA) for Red Lake Gas Storage, L.P.''s (Red Lake) proposed project in 
Mohave County, Arizona, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the 
Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Arizona Department of

concern to the Hualapai Nation resulting from construction of the 
proposed project, the meeting will not be open to the public.
