    Take notice that on September 29, 2003, Sierra Production Company, 
(Sierra), filed an application seeking to amend its Presidential Permit 
issued by the Commission on December 28, 2001, in Docket No. CP01-416-
000, and amended in Docket No. CP01-416-001 on December 3, 2002, all as 
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary (formerly FERRIS) link. Enter

    In Sierra's December 3 Presidential Permit, the Commission 
authorized it to increase its importation service from 5,000 Mcf to 
12,000 Mcf per day of natural gas from Southern Alberta, Canada to 
Montana. Sierra states that subsequent to Commission issuance of its 
Presidential Permit, additional volumes over and above the amended 
amount have been proffered by four producers in the immediate area of 
Sierra's well in Alberta, Canada. Further, Sierra has increased the 
pipeline size immediately past the permitted facilities to 6-inch pipe 
which allows Sierra to transport a current capacity of 24,000 Mcf per 
day which can be accommodated through the permitted facilities. 
Accordingly, Sierra requests that the Commission amend the Presidential 
Permit to increase the imported natural gas volume from 12,000 Mcf per 
day to 24,000 Mcf per day.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Sam 
Baldridge, Petroleum Landman, Business Development, Sierra Production 
Company, 707 Iowa Avenue, Whitefish, Montana 59937, at (406) 862-0753.
    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 the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene or a protest 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 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 in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and instructions on 
the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
