Notice of Second Interstate Natural Gas Facility-Planning Seminar The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Office of Energy Projects will hold the second in a series of public meetings around the country for the purposes of exploring and enhancing strategies for constructive public participation in the earliest stages of natural gas facility planning. This meeting will be held in Romeoville, Illinois on Thursday, December 7, 2000. We are inviting interstate natural gas companies; Federal, state and local agencies; landowners and non-governmental organizations with an interest in developing a new way of doing business to join us in this effort. We will discuss the facility planning process, not the merits of any pending or planned pipeline projects.

The meeting will be held at the Santa Alberta Convocation Center at Lewis University, located in Romeoville, Illinois. The meeting is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM and finish at 4:00 PM.
