environmental impact statement (EIS) as described in the Notice of 
Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) and Request for Comments on Environmental

[[Page 40173]]



    Any person who wishes to make a formal presentation should submit a 
request to the Secretary of the Commission no later than September 5, 
1995. The presentation is to be limited to the environmental issues 
associated with the NOPR, and is not to be used as a forum to address 
the merits of the NOPR. Each request should include the time 
anticipated for the presentation and any special equipment 
requirements. Every effort will be made to accommodate requests to make 
presentations, but, depending on the number of requests received, each 
presentation may have to be limited to 5 minutes. To provide a more 
productive conference, those with similar views are encouraged to 
coordinate their efforts and choose one spokesperson to make a 
statement on behalf of the group. Also, speakers are encouraged to 
prepare written ``Executive Summaries'' for presentation at the 
September 8, 1995 meeting. An official transcript will be made of the 
public meeting to accurately record all comments.
    Please take notice that all written scoping comments and relevant 
studies or reports on the proposed EIS still need to be filed with the 
Commission on or before August 11, 1995, as directed in the NOI. In 
addition, commenters are asked to submit their written comments on a 
3\1/2\-inch diskette formatted for MS-DOS based computers. In light of 
our ability to translate MS-DOS based materials, the text need only be 
submitted in the format and version that it was generated (i.e., MS 
Word, WordPerfect, ASCII, etc.). It is not necessary to reformat word 
processor generated text to ASCII. For Macintosh users, it would be 
helpful to save the documents in Macintosh word processor format and 
then write them to files on a diskette formatted for MS-DOS machines.
    Send all written comments, diskettes, and requests to speak at the 
meeting to:

    <bullet> Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, D.C. 20426; and
    <bullet> Refer to Docket Nos. RM95-8-000 and RM94-7-001.
    Also send a copy of the written scoping comments to:
    <bullet> Leon Lowery, Office of Electric Power Regulation, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, 
D.C. 20426, Telephone: (202) 208-0919, Fax: (202) 208-0180.
    All written comments will be available for public inspection or 
copying in the Commission's Public Reference and Files Maintenance 
Branch, Room 3104, 941 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C 
20426, or call (202) 208-1371. All comments filed on diskettes will be 
available on the Commission Issuance Posting System (CIPS). CIPS is an 
electronic bulletin board service which provides access to the text of 
formal documents issued by the Commission. CIPS is available at no 
charge to the user and may be accessed using a personal computer with a 
modem by dialing (202) 208-1397. To access CIPS, set your 
communications software to 19200, 14400, 12000, 9600, 7200, 4800, 2400,
