	DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved, in part, remainder dismissed. (See below).					Action
date:  July 22, 2005

Effective dates of authority granted: July 22, 2005, through July 22,
2006.

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity): United
States-Mexico Air Transport Services Agreement (“the Agreement”).

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations of our standard exemption conditions
(attached).

 aircraft to prior approval or submission of notice for their Third and
Fourth Freedom charters, we determined that any such requirement was not
necessary on public interest grounds in the case of this carrier, since
the carrier will be conducting these operations solely with small
aircraft.  (Other charter operations to/from the United States under
this authority, however, are subject to prior approval under 14 CFR Part
212.)  Further, we are continuing to allow Mexican carriers conducting
passenger charters using small equipment to make stopovers in the United
States in the conduct of such operations.  The one-year duration of the
authority we granted is consistent with our usual policy of granting
exemption authority in the circumstances presented.  We, therefore,
dismissed the application to the extent that it sought authority for a
longer period.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director, Office of International
Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed
operations; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59937; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2009-24]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Approving
Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a Policy With Respect to the Treatment of
Aberrant Trades

May 18, 2009.

I. Introduction

    On March 18, 2009, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to adopt a policy relating to its treatment of
trade reports that it determines to be inconsistent with the prevailing
market and to make such policy retroactive to January 1, 2008. The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on April 6, 2009.\3\ The Commission received no comments on the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59650 (March 30,
2009), 74 FR 15545.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Trades in listed securities occasionally occur at prices that
deviate from prevailing market prices and those trades sometimes
establish a high, low or last sale price for a security that does not
reflect the true market for the security. The Exchange seeks to address
such instances of ``aberrant'' trades by adopting a policy that is
substantially similar to a policy of the New York Stock Exchange
(``NYSE'').\4\ On February 9, 2009, the Exchange also filed a proposed
rule change, which it designated as eligible for immediate
effectiveness pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act,\5\ to adopt a
policy relating to the Exchange's treatment of trade reports that it
determines to be inconsistent with the prevailing market.\6\ The policy
proposed in the instant rule change is identical to the policy set
forth in Release No. 34-59453, except that the instant proposal

is retroactive to January 1, 2008. This retroactive application is
similar to the retroactivity provision in the NYSE policy set forth in
Release No. 34-59064.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59064 (December 5,
2008), 73 FR 76082 (December 15, 2008) (order approving SR-NYSE-
2008-91) (``Release No. 34-59064'').
    \5\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59453 (February 25,
2009), 74 FR 9463 (March 4, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-09) (``Release
No. 34-59453'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') offers each Participant
in the CTA Plan the discretion to append an indicator (an ``Aberrant
Report Indicator'') to a trade report to indicate that the market
believes that the trade price in a trade executed on that market does
not accurately reflect the prevailing market for the security. The CTA
recommends that data recipients should exclude the price of any trade
to which the Aberrant Report Indicator has been appended from any
calculation of the high, low and last sale prices for the security.
    During the course of surveillance by the Exchange or as a result of
notification by another market, listed company or market participant,
the Exchange may become aware of trade prices that do not accurately
reflect the prevailing market for a security. In such a case, the
Exchange proposes to adopt as policies that it:
    i. May determine to append an Aberrant Report Indicator to any
trade report with respect to any trade executed on the Exchange that
the Exchange determines to be inconsistent with the prevailing market;
and
    ii. Shall discourage vendors and other data recipients from using
prices to which the Exchange has appended the Aberrant Report Indicator
in any calculation of the high, low or last sale price of a security.
    The Exchange believes that retroactive application of its aberrant
trade policy is warranted because of the significant market volatility
and trade reporting issues that all market centers experienced during
2008. Therefore, the Exchange believes that it should be permitted to
act retroactively to append the Aberrant Report Indicator to trades
that do not accurately reflect the prevailing market for a security
commencing as of January 1, 2008.
    The Exchange will urge vendors to disclose the exclusion from high,
low or last sale price data of any aberrant trades excluded from high,
low or last sale price information they disseminate and to provide to
data users an explanation of the parameters used in the Exchange's
aberrant trade policy. Upon initial adoption of the Aberrant Report
Indicator, the Exchange will also contact all of its listed companies
to explain the aberrant trade policy and will notify users of the
information that these are still valid trades. The Exchange will inform
the affected listed company each time the Exchange or another market
appends the Aberrant Report Indicator to a trade in an NYSE Arca listed
stock and will remind the users of the information that these are still
valid trades in that they were executed and not unwound as in the case
of a clearly erroneous trade.
    While the CTA disseminates its own calculations of high, low and
last sale prices, vendors and other data recipients--and not the
Exchange--frequently determine their own methodology by which they wish
to calculate high, low and last sale prices. Therefore, the Exchange
shall endeavor to explain to those vendors and other data recipients
the deleterious effects that can result from including in the
calculations a trade to which the Aberrant Report Indicator has been
appended.
    In making the determination to append the Aberrant Report
Indicator, the Exchange shall consider all factors related to a trade,
including, but not limited to, the following:
     Material news released for the security;
     Suspicious trading activity;
     System malfunctions or disruptions;
     Locked or crossed markets;
     A recent trading halt or resumption of trading in the
security;
     Whether the security is in its initial public offering;
     Volume and volatility for the security;
     Whether the trade price represents a 52-week high or low
for the security;
     Whether the trade price deviates significantly from recent
trading patterns in the security;
     Whether the trade price reflects a stock-split,
reorganization or other corporate action;
     The validity of consolidated tape trades and quotes in
comparison to national best bids and offers; and
     The general volatility of market conditions.
    In addition, the Exchange proposes that its policy shall be to
consult with the listing exchange (if the Exchange is not the listing
exchange) and with other markets (in the case of executions that take
place across multiple markets) and to seek a consensus as to whether
the trade price is consistent with the prevailing market for the
security.
    In determining whether trade prices are inconsistent with the
prevailing market, the Exchange proposes that its policy shall be to
follow the following general guidelines: The Exchange will determine
whether a trade price does not reflect the prevailing market for a
security if the trade occurs during regular trading hours (i.e., 9:30
a.m. to 4 p.m.) and occurs at a price that deviates from the
``Reference Price'' by an amount that meets or exceeds the following
thresholds:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Numerical
                        Trade price                           threshold
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Between $0 and $15.00......................................            7
Between $15.01 and $50.00..................................            5
In excess of $50.00........................................            3
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ``Reference Price'' refers to (a) if the primary market for the
security is open at the time of the trade, the national best bid or
offer for the security, or (b) if the primary market for the security
is not open at the time of the trade, the first executable quote or
print for the security on the primary market after execution of the
trade in question. However, if the circumstances suggest that a
different Reference Price would be more appropriate, the Exchange will
use the different Reference Price. For instance, if the national best
bid and offer for the security are so wide apart as to fail to reflect
the market for the security, the Exchange might use as the Reference
Price a trade price or best bid or offer that was available prior to
the trade in question.
    If the Exchange determines that a trade price does not reflect the
prevailing market for a security and the trade represented the last
sale of the security on the Exchange during a trading session, the
Exchange may also determine to remove that trade's designation as the
last sale. The Exchange may do so either on the day of the trade or at
a later date, so as to provide reasonable time for the Exchange to
conduct due diligence regarding the trade, including the consideration
of input from markets and other market participants.
    The Exchange advises that it proposes to use the Aberrant Report
Indicator in accordance with the guidelines set forth above and that it
may apply the Aberrant Report Indicator on a retroactive basis
commencing January 1, 2008.

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange
and, in particular, with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder. Specifically, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent

with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ which requires, among other things,
that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to, and perfect
the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system,
to protect investors and the public interest, and are not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers or
dealers.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \9\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the Exchange's proposal to append an
Aberrant Report Indicator to certain trade reports is a reasonable
means to alert investors and others that the Exchange believes that the
trade price for a trade executed in its market does not accurately
reflect the prevailing market for the security. In addition, the
Commission notes that the Exchange will use objective numerical
thresholds in determining whether a trade report is eligible to have an
Aberrant Trade Indicator appended to it. The Commission further notes
that the Exchange's appending the Aberrant Trade Indicator to a trade
report has no effect on the validity of the underlying trade. The
Commission previously found a similar proposal by the NYSE to be
consistent with the Act.\10\ Finally, the Commission notes that the
retroactive application of this proposal to January 1, 2008 is similar
to the retroactive period approved for the NYSE.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra note 4.
    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons set forth above, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2009-24) be, and
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \13\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\13\

Deputy Secretary.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those which participate in the Acid Rain Program.
    Title: Acid Rain Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1633.14, OMB Control No. 2060-0258.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on June 30,
2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Acid Rain Program was established under Title IV of
the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The program calls for major
reductions of the pollutants that cause acid rain while establishing a
new approach to environmental management. This information collection
is necessary to implement the Acid Rain Program. It includes burden
hours associated with developing and modifying permits, transferring
allowances, obtaining allowances from the conservation and renewable
energy reserve, monitoring emissions, participating in the annual
auctions, completing annual compliance certifications, participating in
the Opt-in program, and complying with NOX permitting
requirements. Most of this information collection is mandatory under 40
CFR parts 72--78. Some parts of it are voluntary or to obtain a
benefit, such as participation in the annual auctions under 40 CFR part
73, subpart E. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers
for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 91
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1,450.
    Frequency of response: Varies by task.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal from the City of Independence, KS, to release a 10.675 acre
parcel of land from the federal obligation dedicating it to
aeronautical use and to authorize this parcel to be used for revenue-
producing, non-aeronautical purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 16, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to
the FAA at the following address: Amy J. Walter, Airports Land
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
620G, 901 Locust Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change a 10.675 acre parcel of airport property at the
Independence Municipal Airport (IDP) from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical for revenue producing use. This parcel will be leased to a
local gun club.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on
this parcel, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future.
There is no current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel will
serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Independence Municipal Airport (IDP) is proposing the use
release of a 10.675 acre parcel of land from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical. The use release of land is necessary to comply with
Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow
federally acquired airport property to be used for non-aviation
purposes. The rental of the subject property will result in the land at
the Independence Municipal Airport (IDP) being changed from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands from the
conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant
Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii),
the airport will receive fair market rental value for the property. The
annual income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-
producing stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA
Grant Assurance number 24, to make the Independence Municipal Airport
as financially self-sufficient as possible. Following is a legal
description of the subject airport property at the Independence
Municipal Airport (IDP):
    A tract of land located in a portion of the Northeast Quarter of
Section 28, Township 33 South Range 15 East of the 6th P.M., Montgomery
County, Kansas, being more particularly described as follows:
Commencing at the Northeast corner of Section 28; thence S
88[deg]15'13'' W, a distance of 425.67 feet; thence S 01[deg]22'04'' E,
a distance of 289.89 feet to the Point of Beginning; thence continuing
S 01[deg]22'04'' E, a distance of 620.00 feet; thence S 88[deg]37'56''
W, a distance of 750.00 feet; thence N 01[deg]22'04'' W, a distance of
620.00 feet; thence N 88[deg]37'56'' E, a distance of 750.00 feet to
the Point of Beginning. Containing 10.675 acres.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above. In addition, any person may upon request,
inspect the application, notice and other

documents determined by the FAA to be related to the application in
person at the Independence Municipal Airport.

[Docket No. FDA-2018-D-3462]

Verification Systems Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act for
Certain Prescription Drugs; Guidance for Industry; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled
``Verification Systems Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act for
Certain Prescription Drugs.'' The guidance addresses the verification
systems that manufacturers, repackagers, wholesale distributors, and
dispensers must have in place to comply with the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Drug Supply Chain
Security Act (DSCSA). Specifically, the guidance covers the statutory
verification systems requirements that include the quarantine and
investigation of a product determined to be suspect and the quarantine
and disposition of a product determined to be illegitimate. The
guidance also addresses the statutory requirement for notification to
the Agency of a product that has been cleared by a manufacturer,
repackager, wholesale distributor, or dispenser (also referred to as
``trading partners'') after a suspect product investigation because it
is determined that the product is not an illegitimate product. Finally,
the guidance addresses the statutory requirement for responding to
requests for verification and processing saleable returns. The guidance
finalizes the revised draft guidance ``Verification Systems Under the
Drug Supply Chain Security Act for Certain Prescription Drugs,'' issued
on March 10, 2022.

DATES: The announcement of the guidance is published in the Federal
Register on December 7, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Verification Systems Under the Drug Supply Chain Security
Act for Certain Prescription Drugs.'' The DSCSA (title II of Pub. L.
113-54) was signed into law on November 27, 2013. Section 202 of the
DSCSA added section 582 to the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360eee-1), which
established the requirement that trading partners have systems in place
to enable them to comply with certain verification obligations. This
guidance provides recommendations for robust verification systems for
the determination, quarantine, and investigation of suspect products,
as well as the quarantine, notification, and disposition of
illegitimate products. This guidance also addresses the manner in which
FDA recommends that trading partners submit cleared product
notifications (i.e., notifications that a suspect product is not an
illegitimate product), the statutory requirements for responding to
requests for verification, and the statutory requirements for
processing saleable returns.
    FDA initially published the draft guidance ``Verification Systems
Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act for Certain Prescription
Drugs'' on October 25, 2018 (83 FR 53880). Comments were received on
the initial draft guidance and the Agency made revisions to the draft.
This guidance finalizes the revised draft guidance entitled
``Verification Systems Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act for
Certain Prescription Drugs,'' issued on March 10, 2022 (87 FR 13738).
FDA considered comments received on the revised draft guidance in
finalizing this guidance. Changes from the revised draft to the final
guidance include: (1) clarifying that dispensers need not provide
transaction information for saleable return product; (2) clarifying
that ``verification'' as defined in section 581 of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 360eee) involves confirming that the product identifier affixed
or imprinted upon a package or homogeneous case corresponds to the
Standardized Numerical Identifier or lot number and expiration date
assigned to the product by the manufacturer or repackager by more
closely mirroring the statutory language; (3) further clarifying when
the discussion is about the verification systems requirements in
section 582 of the FD&C Act and when it is about the requirement to
verify the product identifier; (4) clarifying FDA's understanding about
the statutory requirement that manufacturers and repackagers respond to
requests for verification within 24 hours or within other such
reasonable time as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services; (5) clarifying that when a trading partner does not receive a
timely response to a verification request, the product that is the
subject of the request need not automatically be classified as suspect;
and (6) clarifying that certain system attributes are suggested as best
practices even though they are not specifically required under the
DSCSA. In addition, editorial changes were made to improve clarity.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Verification Systems Under the Drug Supply
Chain Security Act for Certain Prescription Drugs.'' It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act

    While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does
refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. The
previously approved collections of information are subject to review by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521). The collections of information
pertaining to implementation of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act are
approved in OMB control no. 0910-0806.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at
https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm, https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/guidance-compliance-regulatory-information-biologics/biologics-guidances, https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents, or https://www.regulations.gov.

    Natural is also requesting authorization to abandon three 12-inch
orifice meter tubes and meters at the Sabine Henry Hub Plant in
Vermilion Parish, Louisiana and four compressor units totaling 10,300
hp at CS 343 in Liberty County, Texas, all as more fully set forth in
the application which is on file with the Commission and open for
public inspection. These filings are 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 ``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_ADDRESS>or
toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to
Bruce H. Newsome, Vice President of Certificates and Rates, Natural Gas
Pipeline Company of America, 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois
60148-5072, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    The proposed project will enable Natural to expand the capacity of
its Louisiana Line system, which stretches from Compressor Station 302
in Montgomery County, Texas to the Henry Hub in Vermilion Parish,
Louisiana by approximately 200,000 dekatherms per day. The estimated
cost of the project is approximately $66 million and Natural requests
the Commission issue an order by April, 2007.
    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.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on November 14, 2006.
