ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Filing

October 9, 2003.
    Take notice that on October 1, 2003, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 9 
E Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, filed with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) pursuant to Section 7(C) of the 
Natural Gas Act, and Subpart A of the Commission's Regulations its 
application to install an additional 6,000 horsepower of electric 
powered compression at its Weyauwega Compressor Station in Waupaca 
County, Wisconsin, referred to as its North Leg Project. ANR states 
that its North Leg Project will effectively replace ANR's reliance on 
upstream Viking Gas Transmission Company (Viking) capacity for flowing 
volumes of 107,217 dekatherms per day at ANR's Marshfield receipt 
point. ANR states that its North Leg Project involves the construction 
of electric compression only, with no pipeline looping proposed, and is 
consistent with its settlement with Viking in Docket No. CP00-391-
000.\1\ ANR estimates that the cost of the North Leg Project to be 
approximately $13,519,310. ANR also seeks approval of pro-forma FERC 
Gas Tariff sheets concerning its proposed Electric Power Cost tracking 
mechanism, all as more fully described in the application. The filing 
is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room 
or may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov

    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

[[Page 64869]]

should, on or before the comment date, 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 385.211 and 
385.214) 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. 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 website under the ``e-Filing'' 
link. The Commission strongly encourages intervenors to file 
electronically.
    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 environmental documents, and will be able to participate in 
meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, Commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervener status.
    The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-
environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the 
environmental aspects of the project. This preliminary determination 
typically considers such issues as the need for the project and its 
economic effect on existing customers of the applicant, on other 
pipelines in the area, and ion landowners and communities. For example, 
the Commission considers the extent to which the applicant may need to 
exercise eminent domain to obtain rights-of-way for the proposed 
project and balances that against the non-environmental benefits to be 
provided by the project. Therefore, if a person has comments on 
community and landowner impacts from this proposal, it is important to 
file comments or to intervene as early in the process as possible.
    Comment Date: October 30, 2003.

Secretary.
