White River Hub, LLC; Notice of Application

May 22, 2008.
    Take notice that on May 16, 2008, White River Hub, LLC (White 
River), 180 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in Docket 
No. CP08-398-000 an application, pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, for 
certificate authorization to acquire and construct certain pipeline 
facilities to be located in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. White River's 
proposal is more fully described as set forth in the application that 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This 
filing may also 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. 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 FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-

    Specifically, White River seeks authorization to: (1) Construct 
5.88 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline; (2) acquire from Enterprise 
Gas Processing, LLC approximately 3.8 miles of 36-inch diameter 
pipeline; and (3) construct other related facilities including a meter 
station, tie-in and two short 24-inch diameter interconnecting 
pipelines. White River also requests issuance of a Part 284 Subpart G 
blanket transportation certificate and a Part 157 Subpart F blanket 
construction certificate. White River estimates that the proposed 
facilities will cost approximately $58 million. White River states that 
the facilities will act as a hub with 2,565,000 Dth per day of capacity 
and requests authorization to be granted prior to August 1, 2008.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to L. 
Bradley Burton, Manager, Federal Regulatory Affairs, White River Hub, 
LLC, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145-
0360 at (801) 324-2459 (phone) or (801) 324-5834 (fax) or

    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.

[[Page 31451]]

    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.
    On October 25, 2007, the Commission staff granted White River's 
request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF08-
3-000 to staff activities involving White River's proposal. Now, as of 
the filing of White River's application on May 16, 2008, the Pre-Filing 
Process for this project has officially concluded. And while the PF 
Docket Number is now closed, all of the information contained in the 
Pre-Filing Process will become part of the certificate proceeding. From 
this time forward, White River's proceeding will be conducted in Docket 
No. CP08-398-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice. All future 
correspondence should refer to these CP docket numbers only.
    Comment Date: June 9, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
