This notice supplements the

informational letter issued by the FERC

on January 13, 2005, which announced

FERC’s initiation of a pre-filing

environmental review for the project,

and the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare

an EA issued on May 25, 2005. Those

previous transmittals provided

information about the proposed project

and the FERC’s environmental review

process and requested comments on the

scope of issues to address in the EA.

The comment period for the NOI closed

on June 24, 2005.

Transco has recently identified two

new potential compressor station sites

in Middlesex County, New Jersey. These

new sites were not included in the

previous transmittals issued by FERC.

The sites, known as Mario’s Concrete

(Lot 8) and Manzo site (Lot 13.13), are

located southeast of the Madison Park

subdivision, and also southeast of the

proposed Cheesequake site. They are

bordered by Bordentown Avenue to the

west. A map depicting the proposed site

locations is included in Appendix A.1

We 2 are specifically requesting

comments on the new sites or any

previously proposed sites. The scoping

period for this notice ends on November

18, 2005.

the Commission encourages electronic

filing of comments. See 18 CFR

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

on the Commission’s Internet Web site

to select the type of filing you are

making. This filing is considered a

‘‘Comment on Filing.’’

Becoming an Intervenor

Because the NEPA Pre-Filing Process

occurs before an application to begin a

proceeding is officially filed, petitions

to intervene during this process are

premature and will not be accepted by

the Commission. Transco proposes to

file its application for authorization to

construct the proposed facilities in midNovember. At that time, the

Commission will publish notice of the

application in the Federal Register and

establish a deadline for interested

persons to intervene in the proceeding.

To become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214). Intervenors have the right to

seek rehearing of the Commission’s

decision. Motions to Intervene should

be electronically submitted using the

Commission’s eFiling system at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons without Internet

access should send an original and 14

copies of their motion to the Secretary

of the Commission at the address

indicated previously. Persons filing

Motions to Intervene on or before the

comment deadline indicated above must

send a copy of the motion to the

Applicant. All filings, including late

interventions, submitted after the

comment deadline must be served on

the Applicant and all other intervenors

list for this proceeding. Persons on the

service list with e-mail addresses may

be served electronically; others must be

served a hard copy of the filing.

Affected landowners and parties with

environmental concerns may be granted

intervenor status upon showing good

cause by stating that they have a clear

and direct interest in this proceeding

which would not be adequately

represented by any other parties. You do

not need intervenor status to have your

environmental comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

This notice is being sent to affected

landowners; Federal, State, and local

government agencies; elected officials;

environmental and public interest

groups; Native American tribes; local

libraries and newspapers; and other

interested parties that expressed an

interest in the project. We encourage

government representatives to notify

their constituents of this planned

project and encourage them to comment

on their areas of concern.
