Michigan Consolidated Gas Company; Notice of Petition for Rate 
Approval

January 9, 2009.
    Take notice that on December 23, 2008, Michigan Consolidated Gas 
Company (MichCon) filed a petition for rate approval pursuant to 
Section 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's Regulations for authorization 
to charge market-based rates for the interstate storage and storage-
related services MichCon provides under its Order No. 63 blanket 
certificate.

[[Page 2586]]

    MichCon requests approval of its proposed rates as being fair and 
equitable on the basis of a showing that it lacks market power and that 
competitive forces will constrain the rates it charges.
    MichCon states that it is a Hinshaw pipeline, within the meaning of 
Section 1(c) of the Natural Gas Act, and that it has been granted an 
Order No. 63 blanket certificate to provide interstate transportation 
and storage services. MichCon proposes to make its market-based rates 
effective as of December 23, 2008.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or to protest this filing in accordance with 
Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests 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. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion 
to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must 
be filed on or before the date as indicated below. Anyone filing an 
intervention or protest must serve a copy of that document on the 
Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on or before the 
intervention or protest date need not serve motions to intervene or 
protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions 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 or intervention 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 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
