    Take notice that on September 8, 2005, East Tennessee Natural Gas,

filed an application for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity, in Docket No. CP05-413-000, pursuant to section 7(c) of the

authorization to: (1) Construct and operate 32 miles of 20-inch

System to East Tennessee's system to provide up to 235,000 Dth/d of 
firm transportation capacity; (2) implement new Rate Schedules FT-L and 
IT-L for service on the Jewell Ridge Lateral; and (3) implement initial 
incremental recourse rates for such service. This filing is 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 
``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three

assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    On November 24, 2004, the Commission's staff granted a request to 
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process 
for staff activities involving the Jewell Ridge Lateral Project and 
assigned to that process Docket No. PF05-3-000. Now, as of the filing 
of East Tennessee's application on September 8, 2005, the NEPA Pre-
Filing Process for the Jewell Ridge Lateral Project is closed. From 
this time forward, the proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP05-
413-000.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Steven E. Tillman, General Manager, Regulatory Affairs, East Tennessee 
Natural Gas, LLC, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, Phone: 
(713) 627-5113, Fax: (713) 627-5947.
    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 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 in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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

[[Page 56654]]

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.
    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. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: October 7, 2005.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
