January 21, 2004.
    Take notice that ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), Nine E. Greenway 
Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, filed in Docket No. CP04-51-000 on January 
12, 2004, an application pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, for authority to (1) replace a 4.7-
mile section of an existing 14-inch mainline pipe with 30-inch pipe in 
Washington County, Wisconsin; (2) construct and install a 3.5-mile, 8-
inch looping pipeline in Brown County, Wisconsin; and (3) at an 
existing compressor station in Oconto County, Wisconsin, add a gas 
cooling unit, re-wheel an existing 9100 hp compressor unit. ANR states 
that the proposed project, referred to as the EastLeg Project, is 
intended to provide service to two new power plants, all as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection. ANR further states that this filing may be 
also viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link, enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, call (866) 
208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Kevin Erwin, Senior Counsel, ANR Pipeline Company, Nine E. Greenway 
Plaza, Suite 1866, Houston, Texas 77046, phone (832) 676-5501 or fax 
(832) 676-2251.
    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, 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.
    Persons may wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
these projects. Environmental commenters will be placed on the 
Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents issued by the Commission, 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, environmental 
commenters are also not parties to the proceeding and will not receive 
copies of all documents filed by other parties or nonenvironmental 
documents issued by the Commission. They will not have the right to 
seek court review of the Commission's final order. Concidentally with 
this Notice of Application, the Commission is issuing a notice 
regarding the environmental comment process. This notice describes the 
comment procedures and comment deadline.
    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 on 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 
either to file comments or to intervene as early in the process as 
possible.
    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.
    Comment Date: February 11, 2004.

Secretary.
