Jo-Caroll Energy, Inc.; Notice of Application

November 29, 2006.
    Take notice that on November 22, 2006, Jo-Caroll Energy, Inc (JCE), 
793 U.S. Route 20 West, Elizabeth, Illinois 61028, a rural electric 
distribution cooperative, filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission an abbreviated application pursuant to section 7(f) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, requesting the determination of a 
service area within which JCE may, without further commission 
authorization, enlarge or expand its natural gas distribution 
facilities. JCE also requests: (i) A finding that JCE qualifies as a 
local distribution company (LDC) for purposes of section 311 of the 
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA); (ii) a waiver of the 
Commission's accounting and reporting requirements and other regulatory 
requirements ordinarily applicable to natural gas companies under the 
NGA and NGPA; and (iii) such further relief as the Commission may deem 
appropriate, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may 
also 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.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Michael Hastings, Jo-Caroll Energy, Inc., 793 U.S. Route 20 West, 
Elizabeth, Illinois 61028, (815) 858-2207 (telephone), 
[email protected]; or Joshua L. Menter, counsel for JCE, Miller, 
Balis & O'Neil, P.C., 1140 19th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036, 
(202) 296-2960 (telephone), [email protected].
    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.
    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: 5 p.m. eastern time on December 14, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
