CMS Gas Transmission Company and Bluewater Gas Storage, LLC; 
Notice of Application

April 16, 2004.
    Take notice that on April 8, 2004, CMS Gas Transmission Company 
(CMSGT), and Bluewater Gas Storage, LLC (Bluewater) filed in the above-
referenced docket an application pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA), Part 153 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) regulations (18 CFR part 153), Executive Order Nos. 10485 
and 12038 and the Secretary of Energy's Delegation Order No. 0204-112, 
requesting permission to transfer the NGA Section 3 authorization and 
Presidential Permit currently issued by the Commission to CMSGT in 
Docket Nos. CP95-331-000 and CP95-332-000, authorizing it to operate 
certain natural gas pipeline facilities located at the U.S./Canadian 
international border in St. Clair County, Michigan, to Bluewater, so 
that Bluewater can operate the same facilities under the same terms and 
conditions. CMSGT and Bluewater state that the requests are made in 
order to facilitate the sale of CMSGT's leasehold interest in the 
border crossing facilities to Bluewater. Both parties request that the 
Commission expeditiously review the filing and issue an order in this 
proceeding by July 1, 2004. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``e-Library'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the

    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 in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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.
    Protests and interventions 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 under the ``e-Filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: May 7, 2004.

Secretary.
