[Docket No. RP08-648-000]


Shell Energy North America (US), L.P.; Notice of Filing

December 5, 2008.
    Take notice that on July 21, 2008, Shell Energy North America (US), 
L.P. (Shell) filed a request for clarification that its negotiated rate 
agreement with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), which was 
accepted in Docket No. RP96-312-144, qualifies for a regulatory right 
of first refusal. Shell asserts that, as a firm shipper currently 
paying the maximum tariff rate under a long term negotiated rate 
agreement, it should qualify for the regulatory right of first refusal 
established by Commission policy.
    Shell filed its request for clarification in Docket Nos. RP96-312-
144 and RM98-10. However, the Commission is re-docketing Shell's 
request as Docket No. RP08-648-000. The Commission is also re-docketing 
all subsequent pleadings relating to this matter in Docket No. RP08-
648-000, and will treat the persons filing those pleadings
