application in Docket No. CP06-469-000, pursuant to section 3 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authority to construct, install, own, 
operate and maintain certain facilities at the Cove Point LNG import 
terminal at Cove Point, Maryland (Post Expansion Send-out Project). The 
details of this proposal are more fully set forth in the application 
that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Anne

    Cove Point LNG says that the Post Expansion Send-out Project is 
designed to add three spare LNG send-out pumps, two auxiliary heaters 
to be used as an alternate heating source for existing waste heat 
vaporizers, and related electrical infrastructure improvements at the 
Dominion Cove Point LNG import terminal located in Calvert County, 
Maryland. The proposed facilities will also enhance the reliability of 
service at the LNG terminal for the Rate Schedule LTD-1 customers 
(those who import LNG) under the Incremental Sendout Quantity (ISQ) 
provisions of Rate Schedule LTD-1, as shown in Exhibit P of the 
application. These LNG terminal facility improvements are expected to 
cost more than $21 million, however Cove Point LNG says that its 
proposed changes to the ISQ service in Rate Schedule LTD-1 does not 
create a subsidy, nor will it degrade service to existing customers or 
result in undue discrimination. Cove Point LNG requests that the 
Commission grant the requested authorization at the earliest 
practicable date, in order to ensure an in-service date of August 2008.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by

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

Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the 
environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated 
with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental 
commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. The Commission's rules require that persons filing 
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests 
only to the applicant. However, the non-party commentors will not 
receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the 
Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by 
the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the
