    Specifically, Regent and Sword request the Commission to issue an 
order: (1) Transferring Regent's NGA section 3 authorization to Sword 
for the operation and maintenance of facilities for the importation of 
natural gas from the Province of Alberta, Canada, into Glacier County, 
Montana; and (2) authorizing the assignment of Regent's March 19, 2003, 
Presidential Permit for the operation and maintenance of facilities at 
the Alberta, Canada/Montana import point.
    The import facilities consist of (1) a gas meter station in LSD 8-
4-1-16 W4M in the Province of Alberta; (2) a 4-inch (114.3 mm) diameter 
pipeline located directly south of this meter station across the 
Canada-United States border at Section 1 T37N R5W, extending a distance 
of approximately 2,300 feet. The pipeline crosses the International 
Boundary for a distance of 30 feet (the Coutts Gas Export Pipeline) and 
interconnects with a 4-inch (114.3 mm) diameter pipeline (the Connector 
Pipeline) operated by Regent Resources Inc., a Montana incorporated 
company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regent Resources Ltd. The 
Connector Pipeline connects with an existing North Western-operated 
gathering system in northern Montana at SE. \1/4\ Section 8, Township 
37N, Range 4W downstream of the North Western-operated North Moulton 
compressor station.
    Regent and Sword state that the border facilities will remain in 
place and operation following the requested transfer and assignment. 
Regent and Sword also state that there are no current third party 
service agreements associated with the Regent pipeline, although Sword 
would be prepared to offer transportation services to any other 
shipper.
    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

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
