3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application may be directed to Richard 
A. Lammons, Vice President of Bayou Casotte Energy LLC, 1500 Louisiana 
Street, Houston, Texas 77002 or (877) 424-5495.
    On March 2, 2005 the Commission staff granted Bayou Casotte 
Energy's request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF05-9-000 to staff 
activities involving Bayou Casotte Energy. Now, as of the filing of 
Bayou Casotte Energy's application on September 30, 2005, the NEPA Pre-
Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, 
Bayou Casotte Energy's proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP05-
420-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
    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. In light of the recent Gulf Coast hurricanes and at 
Bayou Casotte Energy's request, the comment period is extended to 90 
days to ensure full public participation.
    Comment Date: January 30, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
