Tractebel Calypso Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Offer of Settlement 
and Shortened Comment Period

October 6, 2004.
    Take notice that on September 29, 2004, Tractebel Calypso Pipeline, 
LLC (Tractebel) filed an Offer of Settlement on the terms of an 
Interconnection Agreement dated September 23, 2004 (Agreement) between 
itself and Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) for Tractebel's 
delivery of revaporized liquefied natural gas (LNG) to FGT through 
future interconnecting facilities. Among other things, the Agreement 
sets forth terms for financial reimbursement and indemnification 
between the parties; construction, ownership and operation of the 
interconnecting facilities; and hourly flow and minimum temperature 
requirements for deliveries. Tractebel also included, as Appendix B to 
the Settlement, conforming revisions to its pro forma tariff, now under 
consideration by the Commission in Docket No. CP01-411-005.
    Tractebel represents that it served a copy of the filing on all 
participants in a complaint proceeding brought by AES Ocean Express, 
LLC (Ocean Express) against FGT in Docket No. RP04-249-000; on all 
participants in Tractebel's certificate proceeding in Docket No. CP01-
409-000, et al.; and on all other persons required to be served by 
operation of Rule 602 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure.\1\ Tractebel states that the Settlement resolves, as between 
Tractebel and FGT, the same interconnection issues under consideration 
in Ocean Express' complaint proceeding against FGT in Docket No. RP04-
249-000. However, Tractebel notes that the instant Settlement does not 
purport to affect the outcome of the complaint proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Tractebel attempted to file the Settlement in Docket No. 
RP04-249-000, a complaint filed by Ocean Express against FGT wherein 
Tractebel intervened and protested tariff revisions filed by FGT; 
and also in Docket No. CP01-409-000, the proceeding wherein 
Tractebel was granted certificate authorization to construct and 
operate its pipeline. The Settlement filed herein addresses, as 
between Tractebel and FGT only, some of the same operational issues 
raised in Docket No. RP04-249-000, but is not intended to address 
those issues as between Ocean Express and FGT. Therefore, since this 
filing brings a new matter before the Commission, it is assigned new 
Docket No. RP04-623-000. In addition, since this filing includes 
revisions to Tractebel's pro forma tariff, currently under review in 
Docket No. CP01-411-005, this filing is also assigned Docket No. 
CP01-411-006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to intervene in the proceeding in Docket No. 
RP04-623-000; or to protest the filing in Docket No. CP01-411-006 or 
Docket No. RP04-623-000, must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining 
the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party to the proceeding in Docket No. RP04-623-000 must file in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
regulations (18 CFR 154.210). Anyone filing an intervention or protest 
must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an 
intervention or protest on or before the intervention or protest date 
need not serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than 
the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of 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.
    Tractebel requests a shortened comment period under Rule 602 of 10 
days for Comments, followed by 10 days for Reply Comments. In support 
of this request, Tractebel represents that the only parties directly 
affected by the Settlement are FGT, Tractebel, and its sole shipper, 
Tractebel Calypso LNG

Marketing, LLC (TC Marketing). Tractebel also states its belief that 
although parties purchasing from TC Marketing may have an indirect 
interest in this filing, nothing in the Interconnection Agreement is 
inconsistent with the rights of such parties under FGT's tariff. 
Tractebel states that, as of the date of the filing, it received 
consents to the shortened comment period from the Commission's Trial 
Staff in Docket No. RP04-249, FGT, Florida Power & Light Company, 
Peoples Gas System, Tampa Electric Company and TC Marketing. The 
Commission finds that good cause has been shown for a shortened comment 
period. Accordingly, Initial Comments on the Settlement at issue in the 
instant Notice are due no later than October 12, 2004, and Reply 
Comments are due no later than October 22, 2004.
    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''
