June 19, 2006.

Rumford Paper Company (Rumford)

filed an application for market-based

rate authority, with an accompanying

rate schedule. The proposed marketbased rate schedule provides for the sale

of energy and capacity at market-based

rates. Rumford also requested waiver of

various Commission regulations. In

particular, Rumford requested that the

Commission grant blanket approval

under 18 CFR part 34 of all future

issuances of securities and assumptions

of liability by Rumford.

On June 15, 2006, pursuant to

delegated authority, the Director,

Division of Tariffs and Market

Development—West, granted the

request for blanket approval under part

34. The Director’s order also stated that

the Commission would publish a

filing of protests. Accordingly, any

person desiring to be heard or to protest

the blanket approval of issuances of

securities or assumptions of liability by

Rumford should file a motion to

intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214

(2004).

Notice is hereby given that the

deadline for filing motions to intervene

or protest is July 17, 2006.

Absent a request to be heard in

opposition by the deadline above,

Rumford is authorized to issue

securities and assume obligations or

liabilities as a guarantor, indorser,

surety, or otherwise in respect of any

security of another person; provided

that such issuance or assumption is for

some lawful object within the corporate

purposes of Rumford, compatible with

the public interest, and is reasonably

necessary or appropriate for such

purposes.

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be

adversely affected by continued

approval of Rumford’s issuances of

securities or assumptions of liability.

Freeport LNG Development, L.P.;

Notice of Availability of the

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Freeport LNG Phase II

Project

June 19, 2006.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

VerDate Aug<31>2005

16:52 Jun 27, 2006

Jkt 208001

Commission) has prepared this

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the

construction and operation of the

expansion of the Freeport liquefied

natural gas (LNG) import terminal

(referred to as the Freeport LNG Phase

II Project or Project) as proposed by

Freeport LNG Development, L.P.

(Freeport) in the above-referenced

docket.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The

staff concludes that approval of the

Freeport LNG Phase II Project, with

appropriate mitigating measures as

recommended, would not constitute a

major Federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. The EA also contains our

final General Conformity Determination.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

proposed expansion of the Freeport

LNG terminal in Brazoria County, Texas

including the construction of:

• An additional LNG ship berth and

associated unloading facilities that

would have the capacity to unload up

to 200 LNG ships per year;

• Additional vaporizers and

associated systems, including an air

tower; and

• An additional LNG storage tank and

associated systems.

The purpose of the Project is to

provide the facilities necessary for

shippers, including MC Global Gas

Corporation (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi

Corporation [Mitsubishi]), to deliver up

to 2.5 Mcfd of natural gas derived from

LNG to the Texas intrastate pipeline

system in Stratton Ridge. Delivery of gas

to the Stratton Ridge area would allow

to gas to be delivered to the intrastate

market or potentially transported to the

interstate pipeline system for delivery

elsewhere.

The EA has been placed in the public

files of the FERC. A limited number of

copies of the EA are available for

distribution and public inspection at:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street,

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426.

(202) 502–8371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals,

newspapers, and parties to this

proceeding.

Any person wishing to comment on

the EA may do so. To ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on the proposal, it is important

that we receive your comments before

the date specified below. Please

carefully follow these instructions to

Please note that we are continuing to

experience delays in mail deliveries

from the U.S. Postal Service. As a result,

we will include all comments that we

receive within a reasonable time frame

in our environmental analysis of this

project. However, the Commission

strongly encourages electronic filing of

any comments or interventions or

protests to this proceeding. See 18 CFR

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

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but will not serve to make

the commentor a party to the

proceeding. Any person seeking to

become a party to the proceeding must

file a motion to intervene pursuant to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

385.214).1 Only intervenors have the

right to seek rehearing of the

Commission’s decision.

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

comments considered.
