Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

June 15, 2005.
    Take notice that on June 6, 2005, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Company (Midwestern), P.O. Box 542500, Omaha, Nebraska 68154-8500 filed 
an application seeking a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity, pursuant to section 7(c) of the NGA and Part 157 of the 
Commission(s Regulations, to construct and operate approximately 30 
miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline and related facilities, known as the 
Eastern Extension Project, in Sumner and Trousdale Counties, Tennessee. 
The facilities will transport up to 120,000 dekatherms per day of 
natural gas. Midwestern's application is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection. These filings are available for review 
at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site 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, please 
contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll free 
at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    In Docket No. PF04-2-000, Midwestern participated in a pre-filing 
National Environmental Policy Act review of its proposed project to 
identify and resolve potential landowner and environmental problems 
before the application was filed.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Raymond Neppl, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs & Marketing Services, 
Midwestern Gas Transmission Company, P.O. Box 542500, Omaha, Nebraska 
68154-8500 at (402) 492-7428 or by fax at (402) 492-7492.
    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 below listed 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 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 the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: July 6, 2005.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
