SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71004; File No. SR-Phlx-2013-101]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Order
Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change Regarding the Short Term
Options Program

December 6, 2013.

I. Introduction

    On October 3, 2013, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``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:
(1) Expand the number of classes on which short term options series
(``STOs'') may be opened in accordance with its Short Term Option
Series Program (``STO Program'') from 30 to 50; (2) modify the initial
and additional series listing provisions to allow the Exchange to open
up to thirty STOs for each expiration date in a STO class; (3) expand
the strike price range limitations for STOs; and (4) allow the Exchange
to list STOs at a strike price interval of $2.50 or greater where the
strike price is above $150. The proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on October 22, 2013.\3\ The Commission
received one comment letter on the proposal.\4\ This

order approves the proposed rule change.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70682 (October 15,
2013), 78 FR 62809 (``Notice'').
    \4\ See letter from Megan R. Malone, Attorney, Legal Division,
Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE''), to
Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Commission, dated November 12, 2013
(``CBOE Letter''). CBOE expressed support for the proposed expansion
of the STO Program to 50 classes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Currently, Commentary .11(a) to Rule 1012 permits the Exchange to
open for trading on any Thursday or Friday that is a business day
series of options on no more than thirty option classes that expire at
the close of business on each of the next five consecutive Fridays that
are business days.\5\ The Exchange may also list STOs on option classes
selected by other exchanges under their respective STO Program
rules.\6\ The Exchange has proposed to increase from thirty to fifty
the number of option classes that may be opened by the Exchange
pursuant to the STO Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Commentary .11(a) to Rule 1012.
    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposed to modify its initial and additional STO
listing requirements to permit the Exchange to open up to thirty STOs
for each expiration date in a class. Phlx's current rules provide that
the Exchange may open up to twenty STOs for each expiration date in a
class.\7\ Phlx's rules also provide that if the Exchange opens less
than twenty STOs for an expiration date, it may open additional series
``when the Exchange deems it necessary to maintain an orderly market,
to meet customer demand or when the market price of the underlying
security moves substantially from the exercise price or prices of the
series already opened.'' \8\ The proposed rule change would permit Phlx
to open up to thirty STOs for each expiration date in a class. Under
the proposed rule change, if Phlx opens less than thirty STOs for an
expiration date, it may open additional series under the same
conditions noted above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id.
    \8\ See Commentary .11(d) to Rule 1012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx also proposed to change the strike price range limitations for
the STO Program. Currently, the strike price of each STO has to be
fixed with approximately the same number of strike prices being opened
above and below the value of the underlying security at about the time
that the STOs are initially opened for trading on the Exchange, and
with strike prices being within thirty percent (30%) above or below the
closing price of the underlying security from the preceding day.\9\
Further, any additional strike prices listed by the Exchange must also
be within thirty percent (30%) above or below the current price of the
underlying security.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Commentary .11(c) to Rule 1012.
    \10\ See Commentary .11(d) to Rule 1012. Commentary .11(d) to
Rule 1012 also permits the Exchange to open additional STOs with
strike prices more than 30% above or below the current prices of the
underlying security ``provided that demonstrated customer interest
exists for such series, as expressed by institutional, corporate or
individual customers or their brokers.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx's proposed rule would provide that any initial or additional
series listed by the Exchange shall be reasonably close to the price of
the underlying equity security and within the following parameters: (i)
If the price of the underlying security is less than or equal to $20,
strike prices shall be not more than one hundred percent (100%) above
or below the price of the underlying security; and (ii) if the price of
the underlying security is greater than $20, strike prices shall be not
more than fifty percent (50%) above or below the price of the
underlying security. Under the proposed rule change, the Exchange may
also open STOs with strike prices that are more than 50% above or below
the current price of the underlying security (if the price is greater
than $20); provided that demonstrated customer interest exists for such
series, as expressed by institutional, corporate or individual
customers or their brokers (not including Market-Makers trading for
their own account).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Commentary .10(a) to Rule 1012 currently states that if the
price of the underlying security is greater than $20, the Exchange
shall not list new option series with an exercise price more than
50% above or below the price of the underlying security. The
Exchange also proposed to add language clarifying that this
restriction does not apply to new proposed Commentary .11(d) to Rule
1012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposed to modify the STO Program delisting
provisions to conform to the proposed STO strike price range
limitations. Currently, the STO delisting rules in Commentary .11(d) to
Rule 1012 allow the Exchange to delist certain series so as to list
series between 10% and 30% above or below the current price of the
underlying.\12\ The current rules also permit the Exchange to list
additional series in excess of the thirty permitted in the STO Program
rules if the underlying has moved such that there are no series that
are within the 10% to 30% range and all existing series have open
interest.\13\ Phlx proposed to remove the range methodology to provide
that the Exchange will delist any series with no open interest in both
the call and the put series having a: (i) Strike higher than the
highest price with open interest in the put and/or call series for a
given expiration week; and (ii) strike lower than the lowest strike
price with open interest in the put and/or the call series for a given
expiration week.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Commentary .11(d) to Rule 1012.
    \13\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposed to amend Commentary .11(e) to Rule
1012 to indicate that the interval between strike prices on STOs may be
$2.50 or greater where the strike price is above $150. The current STO
Program rules include specific strike price intervals for certain
classes that participate in the STO Program, e.g, the strike price may
be $0.50 or greater where the strike price is less than $75, and $1 or
greater where the strike price is between $75 and $150.\14\ According
to the Exchange, the proposed $2.50 strike price interval addresses the
issue that above a $150 strike price STO strike price intervals may be
$5.00 or greater.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Commentary .11(e) to Rule 1012.
    \15\ See, e.g., Commentary .05 to Rule 1012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the proposed rule change, the Exchange stated that the principal
reason for the proposed expansion is market demand for weekly options
and continuing strong customer demand to use STOs to execute hedging
and trading strategies, particularly in the current fast and volatile
trading and investing environment.\16\ The Exchange also stated that it
has received requests from traders and other market participants to
expand the STO Program.\17\ Phlx also stated that it believes that the
delisting proposal will add clarity and certainty to the STO
Program.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Notice, supra note 3 at 62812.
    \17\ Id.
    \18\ See id.at 62811.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange stated that it has analyzed its capacity, and
represented that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority
(``OPRA'') have the necessary systems capacity to handle the potential
additional traffic associated with Phlx's proposed amendment to the STO
Program. In addition, Phlx stated that it believes that its members
will not have a capacity issue as a result of the proposed rule
change.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See id.at 62813.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review of the proposed rule change and the CBOE
Letter, 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.\20\ Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposal is
consistent with Section

6(b)(5) of the Act,\21\ which requires, among other things, that the
rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Commission believes that the
proposal strikes a reasonable balance between the Exchange's desire to
offer a wider array of investment opportunities and the need to avoid
unnecessary proliferation of options series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 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).
    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In approving this proposal, the Commission notes that Exchange has
represented that it and OPRA have the necessary systems capacity to
handle the potential additional traffic associated with the proposed
amendment to the STO Program.\22\ The Commission expects the Exchange
to monitor the trading volume associated with the additional options
series listed as a result of this proposal and the effect of these
additional series on market fragmentation and on the capacity of the
Exchange's, OPRA's, and vendors' automated systems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Notice, supra note 3 at 62813.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\23\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Phlx-2013-101) be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\24\

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0129]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Snohomish River and Steamboat
Slough, Everett and Marysville, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the SR 529 highway bridges, north and
south bound, across the Snohomish River, mile 3.6 near Everett, WA, and
the SR 529 highway bridges, north and south bound, across Steamboat
Slough, mile 1.1 and 1.2, near Marysville, WA. The deviation is
necessary to accommodate the Everett Half Marathon run event. This
deviation allows the bridges to remain in the closed-to-navigation
position during the marathon to allow safe movement of event
participants.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on April
8, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0129 is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge
Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Washington State Department of
Transportation, the bridge owner, has requested that the SR 529 highway
bridges, north bound and south bound, across the Snohomish River and
Steamboat Slough remain in the closed-to-navigation position. This
request is to facilitate safe, uninterrupted roadway passage of
participants of the Everett Half Marathon. The SR 529 highway bridges
across the Snohomish River, at mile 3.6, provide 37 feet of vertical
clearance above mean high water elevation while in the closed-to-
navigation position; and these bridges operate in accordance with 33
CFR 117.1059(c). The SR 529 highway bridges across Steamboat Slough, at
mile 1.1 and 1.2, provide 10 feet of vertical clearance above mean high
water elevation in the closed-to-navigation position; and these bridges
operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(g).
    The SR 529 bridges crossing the Snohomish River and Steamboat
Slough are authorized to remain in the closed-to navigation position,
and need not open for maritime traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on
April 8, 2018. The bridges shall operate in accordance to 33 CFR
117.1059 at all other times. Vessels able to pass under the subject
bridges in the closed-to-navigation position may do so at any time, and
these bridges will be required to open, if needed, for vessels engaged
in emergency response during the closure period.
    Waterway usage on this part of the Snohomish River and Steamboat
Slough includes vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. An alternate route for vessels to pass is available
through Ebey Slough and Union Slough near the entrance of Steamboat
Slough at high tide. A request for comment with any objections to this
deviation was advertised in the Local Notice to Mariners. We did not
receive any comments or objections. The Coast Guard will also inform
the users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to
Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridges so that
vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridges must return to
their regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the
effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the
operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 27, 2018.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding this notice may contact Mr. Aaron Yeow,
Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office,

by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER> or via email at [email protected].
General information concerning the CASAC, as well as any updates
concerning the meetings announced in this notice can be found on the
CASAC website: https://casac.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The CASAC was established pursuant to the Clean Air Act
(CAA) Amendments of 1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to review
air quality criteria and NAAQS and recommend to the EPA Administrator
any new NAAQS and revisions of existing criteria and NAAQS as may be
appropriate. The CASAC shall also: Advise the EPA Administrator of
areas in which additional knowledge is required to appraise the
adequacy and basis of existing, new, or revised NAAQS; describe the
research efforts necessary to provide the required information; advise
the EPA Administrator on the relative contribution to air pollution
concentrations of natural as well as anthropogenic activity; and advise
the EPA Administrator of any adverse public health, welfare, social,
economic, or energy effects which may result from various strategies
for attainment and maintenance of such NAAQS. As amended, 5 U.S.C.,
app. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that EPA
carry out a periodic review and revision, as appropriate, of the air
quality criteria and the NAAQS for the six ``criteria'' air pollutants,
including ozone and related photochemical oxidants.
    The CASAC is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., app. 2, and conducts
business in accordance with FACA and related regulations. The CASAC and
the CASAC Ozone Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA and
EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the CASAC Ozone Panel will hold
a public meeting to receive a briefing from EPA on updates to the
policy assessment that will support the agency's reconsideration of the
2020 Ozone NAAQS and a public meeting for the panel to peer review the
agency's policy assessment.
    Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning EPA's
updates to the ozone policy assessment should be directed to Ms. Leigh
Meyer ([email protected]).
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review
documents, agenda and other materials will be accessible on the CASAC
website: https://casac.epa.gov.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA.
Members of the public can submit relevant comments on the topic of this
advisory activity, including the charge to the CASAC and the EPA review
documents, and/or the group conducting the activity, for the CASAC to
consider as it develops advice for EPA. Input from the public to the
CASAC will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or
technical information or analysis for CASAC to consider or if it
relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information.
Members of the public wishing to provide comment should follow the
instructions below to submit comments.
    Oral Statements: Individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation during the public meeting will be limited to three
minutes. Each person making an oral statement should consider providing
written comments as well as their oral statement so that the points
presented orally can be expanded upon in writing. The public comment
period will be on June 8, 2022. Interested parties should contact Mr.
Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact
information noted above by June 1, 2022, to be placed on the list of
public speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by CASAC
members, statements should be supplied to the DFO (preferably via
email) at the contact information noted above by June 1, 2022. It is
the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the web
page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are
requested to provide an unsigned version of each document because the
SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its
websites. Members of the public should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted
to the CASAC website. Copyrighted material will not be posted without
explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron Yeow at (202)
564-2050 or [email protected]. To request accommodation of a
disability, please contact the DFO, at the contact information noted
above, preferably at least ten days prior to each meeting, to give EPA
as much time as possible to process your request.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1736]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 23, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1736, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.

    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies
can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM
date listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and
FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-6-002]

Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC; Notice of Amendment

January 12, 2009.
    Take notice that on December 30, 2008, Midcontinent Express
Pipeline LLC (Midcontinent) 3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove,
Illinois 60515, filed in Docket No. CP08-6-002, pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations, to amend its certificate of public convenience and
necessity issued on July 25, 2008. Specifically, Midcontinent proposes
to change the location of the Vicksburg Compressor Station from the
originally certificated location in Warren County, Mississippi to a new
location 3.5 miles eastward in Hinds County, Mississippi, and to
substitute a different model for the two compressor units authorized at
the Atlanta Compressor Station in Cass County, Texas.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Bruce H. Newsome, Vice President, Regulatory, Midcontinent Express
Pipeline LLC, 3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, Illinois
60515, telephone no.<PHONE_NUMBER>, and e-mail: bruce_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
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 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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 an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. 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 with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
