    Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
    
    October 19, 1999.
        Take notice that on October 12, 1999, Florida Gas Transmission 
    Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
    No. CP00-4-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 
    Gas Act (NGA) for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for 
    permission and authorization to: (i) Upgrade two compressor engines at 
    Compressor Station 11A by increasing the horsepower by approximately 
    4,800 horsepower, and (ii) install the necessary auxiliary facilities 
    at Compressor Station 11A, hereinafter referred to as ``Expansion 
    Facilities'', all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
    on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing 
    may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
    (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
        Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Mr. 
    Stephen T. Veatch, Director of Certificates and Regulatory Reporting, 
    Suite 3997, 1400 Smith Street, Houston, TX 77002 or call (713) 853-
    6549.
        The purpose of the proposed Expansion Facilities is to build 
    facilities which enables FGT to transport 80,000 MMMBtu per day from 
    the Destin Pipeline interconnect in Mississippi, to provide additional 
    firm Western Division transportation service to Alabama Electric 
    Cooperative, Inc. (AEC) under FGT's Rate Schedule FTS-WD pursuant to 
    Subpart B of Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. FGT and AEC have 
    executed a September 22, 1999 Firm Transportation Service Agreement, 
    for a primary term of twelve years, with a ten year rollover option. 
    FGT is proposing to charge negotiated rates for the service. The 
    estimated construction cost is $6.9 million and will be 100% 
    reimbursable, with a required in-service date of December 2001.
        FGT requests that the Commission issue a final order granting the 
    authorizations requested herein by November 1, 2000 in order to 
    complete construction prior to FGT's Peak Spring and Summer Periods 
    starting April 1, 2001.
        Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
    make any protest with reference to said application should on or before 
    November 9, 1999, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
    Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest 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 
    Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
    will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
    taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
    proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide 
    copies of their protests to the party or parties directly involved. Any 
    person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
    party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
    accordance with the Commission's Rules.
        A person obtaining intervenor 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 every one of the 
    intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
    order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
    intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing
    
    [[Page 57448]]
    
    it makes with the Commission to every other intervenor in the 
    proceeding, as well as 14 copies with the Commission.
        A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
    comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of 
    comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
    on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
    environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
    associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
    Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
    all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
    documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
    not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
    order to a federal court.
        The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
    whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
        Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
    and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
    Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
    the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
    held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
    this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
    required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
    finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
    convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
    filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
    hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
        Under the procedure provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
    be unnecessary for FGT to appear or be represented at the hearing.
    David P. Boergers,
    Secretary.
