    Notice is hereby given that new docket prefixes ``PT'' and ``ET''

permits to site interstate electric transmission facilities in 
accordance with Order No. 689,\1\ issued November 16, 2006.

    \1\ Regulations for Filing Applications for Permits to Site 
Interstate Electric Transmission Facilities, Order No. 689, 71 FR 
69440 (November 16, 2006), FERC Stats. & Regs. 31,234 (2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Order No. 689 requires potential applicants to complete a pre-
filing process prior to filing an application for an electric 
transmission construction permit. The pre-filing request will be 
assigned a ``PT'' docket number prefix, and all related filings should 
be submitted under that docket. Applications for a permit to site 
facilities will be assigned an ``ET'' docket \2\ and all related 
filings should refer to that docket number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Application filings under a new ET docket should reference 
the applicable pre-filing PT docket number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pre-filing requests, applications, and all related filings may be 
submitted using the Commission's electronic filing system (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp). Guidelines for the appropriate 
efiling menu choices and the required number of staff copies are listed 
in the Filing Guide and Qualified Documents List on the efiling Web 
page under the entries for 18 CFR Part 50 of the Commission's 
regulations.
    Comments submitted in both PT and ET docket number prefixes will be 
eligible to be electronically submitted using the Commission's Quick 
Comment option. Quick Comment is an easier alternative to the efiling 
system for submitting text comments and does not require advance 
eRegistration. Commenters may also use the efiling system to submit 
more extensive comments and/or exhibits, provided they have an 
eRegistration account.
    If you need assistance with efiling, please contact FERC Online 
Support at 1-866-208-3676 or [email protected].

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
