Dominion Cove Point LNG, L.P., Dominion Cove Point LNG, L.P., 
Dominion Cove Point LNG, L.P., Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of 
Procedural Conference and Order on Late Interventions

February 2, 2006.
    The Commission has received a number of pleadings in this 
proceeding regarding the quality of the natural gas delivered, and 
proposed to be delivered, to Washington Gas Light Company (WGL), from 
the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal owned and operated by 
Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP (Cove Point), and the potential effects of 
the proposed expansion and modification of Cove Point's LNG import 
terminal on certain facilities owned by WGL.\1\ The Commission staff 
has determined that discussing with the parties the issues raised in 
these various pleadings would assist staff in evaluating these matters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A list of pleadings that relate to these gas quality issues 
is in the Appendix to this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, a Procedural Conference will be held at the 
Commission's offices in Washington, DC, on February 22, 2006, 
commencing at 10 a.m., in order that the parties and the Commission 
Staff can discuss the pleadings filed and the procedural options for 
continued timely processing of Cove Point's requests for expansion and 
modification of its LNG import terminal.
    Participants at the conference should come prepared to discuss the 
relationship, if any, between Cove Point's proposal to expand and 
modify its LNG import terminal in the captioned proceedings and the 
problems on WGL's system which WGL alleges are associated with the 
quality of natural gas delivered from the Cove Point import terminal. 
As part of this discussion, participants should be prepared to provide 
information which shows that the alleged impacts on WGL's ability to 
provide safe and reliable services to its customers are either 
substantially related to the introduction of natural gas from Cove 
Point's LNG import terminal into Cove Point's pipeline and 
interconnecting pipelines and delivered to WGL, or are substantially 
related to other factors and that such problems have occurred prior to 
the introduction of LNG into Cove Point's pipeline and interconnecting 
pipelines.
    The Commission, pursuant to Rule 214(d)(3)(i) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure, hereby grants the motions to intervene 
out of time listed in the Appendix to this Notice for the limited 
purpose of participating in the Procedural Conference. The Commission 
reserves the right to grant or deny further party status of any late 
intervenor, as appropriate.
    FERC conferences are accessible under section 508 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For accessibility accommodations please
