November 1, 2000.
    Take notice that on October 26, 2000, Chinook Pipeline Company 
(Chinook Pipeline), 2400, 645-7th Avenue, SW., Calgary, Alberta, Canada 
T2P 4G8, filed an application in Docket No. CP01-19-000, for a 
Presidential Permit and for authority under Section 3 of the Natural 
Gas Act to construct, connect, maintain and operate certain natural gas 
facilities at the border of the United States and Canada in Blaine 
County, Montana. The application was filed pursuant to Part 153 of the 
Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 153). The facilities will be used to 
export up to 15,000 Mcf per day of natural gas, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance). The name, address, and telephone/fax numbers of the 
applicant's representative, to whom correspondence and communications 
concerning this application should be address is: Wade J. McGowan, 
Chinook Pipeline Company, 2400, 645-7th Avenue, SW., Calgary, Alberta, 
Canada T2P 4G8, (403) 265-1200 (Phone) or (403) 265-1300 (Fax).
    Chinook Pipeline is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xeno. Inc. (Xeno), 
a Montana Corporation. The proposed facilities are part of Chinook 
Pipeline's proposed project to construct, own and operate a 15.7 mile 
long, six-inch diameter gas pipeline from Xeno's existing Battle Creek 
natural gas plant in Blaine County, Montana, to the U.S.-Canada border. 
The proposed pipeline will cross the international boundary and connect 
to a receipt point at Loomis, Saskatchewan. This receipt point will be 
constructed by Many Islands Pipeline, a subsidiary of TransGas of 
Regina, Saskatchewan.
    Chinook Pipeline requests that the Commission expeditiously grant 
the authorizations herein requested so as to enable it to construct and 
commence service through the proposed border crossing facilities as 
soon as possible, in order to begin service for the upcoming 2000-2001 
winter heating season.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before November 22, 2000, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20426, a petition to intervene or a protest 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 Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a petition to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at http;//www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 3 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no petition to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a petition for leave is timely filed, or 
if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given. Under the 
procedure provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be 
unnecessary for Chinook Pipeline to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
