[Docket No. CP11-35-000]
Southwest Gas Corporation; Notice of Application
November 29, 2010.
On November 16, 2010, Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest) filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an
application pursuant to section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as
amended, and section 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for a service
area determination for their Kings Beach, California and Crystal Bay,
Nevada service areas, 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 web 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. There is an
``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables subscribers to
receive e-mail notification when a document is added to a subscribed
docket(s). For assistance, contact FERC at [email protected]
or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
Questions regarding this application should be directed to Mark R.
Haskell, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20004 or by calling 202-739-3000 or by e-mailing
[email protected].
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, within 90 days
of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its
environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the
anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The
filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding
or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will
serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to
complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of
issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
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 seven 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.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on December 20, 2010.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
