Energy Department
Having issued the first National Electric Transmission Congestion Study under section 216 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), and having evaluated public comments on the Study, the Department of Energy (Department or DOE) today begins two proceedings that may lead to one or more orders designating one or more national interest electric transmission corridors (National Corridors). The Department believes that, although the FPA does not require it, allowing an opportunity for comment on draft National Corridor designations prior to the Department issuing its FPA section 216(a) report will aid both the public and the Department. Interested persons may file written comments in one or both of these proceedings in the manner indicated in the ADDRESSES portion of this notice. Only those persons who file such comments by the date listed in the DATES portion of this notice will become parties to the proceedings and, thus, eligible to file a request for rehearing under FPA section 313 of any final order issued in these proceedings.
