[Docket No. CP06-5-006]


Empire State Pipeline, Empire Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of 
Compliance Filing

September 6, 2007.
    Take notice that on August 30, 2007, Empire State Pipeline and 
Empire Pipeline, Inc. (Empire) tendered for filing an executed firm 
transportation agreement with KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a 
KeySpan Energy Delivery Long Island (KeySpan). Empire states that it is 
filing the executed firm transportation agreement with KeySpan pursuant 
to Ordering Paragraph Z of the Commission's December 21, 2006 order in 
this proceeding.
    Empire states that pursuant to Sec.  388.112 of the Commission's 
regulations, it is requesting privileged and confidential treatment of 
the negotiated rate exhibit (Exhibit B) attached to the firm 
transportation agreement with Empire. Empire explains that because the 
negotiated rate exhibit is competitively sensitive and its release at 
this time could unnecessarily harm the competitive position of the 
parties, it requests that the negotiated rate exhibit be exempted from 
the disclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. Empire 
indicates that in compliance with Ordering Paragraph AA of the December 
21, 2006 order, it will publicly file either the negotiated rate 
exhibit or numbered tariff sheets containing all required information 
not less than 90 days prior to commencement of service.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing must file in accordance 
with Rule 211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.211). Protests to this filing will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Such protests 
must be filed on or before the date as indicated below. Anyone filing a 
protest must serve a copy of that document on all the parties to the 
proceeding.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests in lieu 
of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons 
unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies 
of the protest to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
