Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Amendment to Application

June 30, 2009.
    Take notice that on June 19, 2009, as supplemented on June 24,
2009, Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC (Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer
Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in the above referenced docket an
amendment to its application in CP08-420-000 pursuant to sections 7(c)
and (b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 of the Commission's
regulations for an order granting a certificate of public convenience
to construct, install, own, operate and maintain natural gas pipeline
facilities necessary to provide at least 281,500 dekatherms per day
(Dth/d) of firm transportation capacity. By this amendment, Algonquin
proposes to (i) make piping modifications at the Hanover Compressor
Station in Morris County, New Jersey in order to permit reverse flow of
gas, along with backhaul capability along Algonquin's entire mainline;
and (ii) install approximately 2.6 miles of 12-inch pipe along the E-3
System in New London County, Connecticut that will replace a segment of
6-inch pipe from MP0.0 in the City of Norwich to MP2.559 at the E-4
Tap. Algonquin also requests: (i) authority to charge its existing
HubLine 2003 Project rate for service on the amended HubLine/East to
West Project facilities; and (ii) any waivers, authority, and further
relief as may be necessary to implement the proposal contained in its
application, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may
also be viewed on the Web 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. For assistance, please

    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Garth
Johnson, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Algonquin Gas
Transmission, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, or at (713)

    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)

[[Page 32904]]

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.
    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.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. 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) 208-3676 (toll free). For
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: July 21, 2009.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
