[Docket No. CP97-169-004]


Alliance Pipeline L.P.; Notice of Application

December 1, 2004.
    On November 23, 2004, Alliance Pipeline L.P. (Alliance), pursuant 
to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Subparts B and C of Part 
153 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations under the NGA filed an application to amend its 
Presidential Permit (Permit) to reflect the actual peak day capacity of 
the authorized border-crossing facilities between the United States and 
Canada. The current Permit, issued on June 13, 2002, 99 FERC 61,313 
(2002), indicates a peak capacity of 1.8 Billion cubic feet per day 
(Bcfd). The proposed amendment would have the Permit reflect actual 
operating experience and results of recent engineering analyses not 
currently reflected in the Permit, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission, and open for public 
inspection. This filing is available for review at the Commission or 
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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 contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Alliance requests that the Commission amend the Presidential Permit 
to reflect the actual peak day capacity, a flow which could occur in 
very limited circumstances, of 1.875 Bcfd, inclusive of fuel, for the 
authorized border-crossing facilities. No new rates or rate schedules 
are proposed. The facilities will continue to provide improved access 
to supplies of natural gas and improve the dependability of 
international energy trade. No changes are proposed to the currently 
authorized facilities.
    Questions regarding the application may be directed to: Dennis 
Prince, Vice President, Transportation Services and Business 
Development, Alliance Pipeline L.P., 6385 Old Shady Oak Road, Eden 
Prairie, Minnesota 55344-3252 or call (952) 983-1000; and, William A. 
Williams and James P. White at Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Market 
Square, 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20004-2604 or call 
(202) 662-0200.
    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 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

[[Page 70664]]

the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Comments, 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.
    Comment Date: December 21, 2004.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
