    On March 19, 2004 the Commission staff granted Entrega's request to 
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process 
and assigned Docket No. PF04-7-000 to staff activities involving 
Entrega. Now, as of the filing of Entrega's application on September 
17, 2004, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for Entrega's project is closed. 
From this time forward, Entrega's proceeding will be conducted in 
Docket Nos. CP04-413-000, et. al.
    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 listed below, 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 this filing and all subsequent filings made with 
the Commission and must mail a copy of all filing 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, other persons do 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 this 
project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties 
directly involved in the protest.
    Persons may also wish to comment further only on the environmental 
review of this project. 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. Those persons, organizations, and agencies who submitted 
comments during the NEPA Pre-Filing Process in Docket No. PF04-7-000 
are already on the Commission staff's environmental mailing list for 
the proceeding in the above dockets and may file additional comments on 
or before the below listed comment date. 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 non-environmental documents issued by the Commission. 
Further, they will not have the right to seek court review of any final 
order by Commission in this proceeding.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: October 19, 2004.

Secretary.
