[Docket Nos. CP06-335-001]


Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.; Notice of Amendment to 
Application for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

September 19, 2006.
    Take notice that on September 11, 2006, Maritimes & Northeast 
Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes), 890 Winter Street, Suite 300, Waltham, 
Massachusetts 02451, filed in Docket No. CP06-335-001, an amendment to 
its application filed on May 16, 2006 pursuant to section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization for its Phase IV Project. In 
the instant amended application, Maritimes states that the only change 
to the project originally proposed in the May 16, 2006 application is 
to remove the facilities proposed to accommodate 150,000 Dth/day of 
capacity for Portland Natural Gas Transmission System (PNGTS) on the 
mainline facilities jointly owned by Maritimes and PNGTS that extend 
from Westbrook, Maine to Dracut, Massachusetts, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. More specifically, Maritimes states that the only 
change to the originally proposed facilities is to install a smaller 
compressor unit at the proposed Eliot Compressor Station in York 
County, Maine. This filing may be also viewed on the Web 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, call (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-
8659.
    Maritimes requests a shortened notice procedure for this filing. 
Maritimes states that the shortened notice procedure is appropriate 
because the proposed modification to the original project is minor and 
the impact associated with the modification on existing customers and 
affected landowners and communities is minimal.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Steven 
E. Tillman, General Manager, Regulatory Affairs, M&N Management 
Company, 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-
1642.
    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, before the 
comment date of this notice, 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 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: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on September 29, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
