[Docket No. CP10-19-000]


Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership; Notice of 
Request Under Blanket Authorization

November 19, 2009.
    Take notice that on November 13, 2009, Great Lakes Gas Transmission 
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes), 717 Texas Street, Houston, Texas 
77002, filed in Docket No. CP10-19-000, a prior notice request pursuant 
to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
abandon a compressor unit, located in Charlevoix County, Michigan, all 
as more fully set forth in the application, which 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 using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter 
the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY,

    Specifically, Great Lakes proposes to abandon a 4,000 horsepower 
compressor unit, Unit 1103, located on Great Lakes' system at the Boyne 
Falls Compressor Station. Great Lakes states that continued use of this 
compressor unit is unnecessary due to a rearrangement of station 
facilities whereby the remaining compressor units now operate in 
parallel instead of in a series. Great Lakes declares that this 
rearrangement was made to eliminate piping vibrations, component 
failures, and other operating concerns. Great Lakes avers that there is 
no significant impact on throughput from the proposed abandonment of 
Unit 1103 due in part because the other compressor units at the station 
have upgraded aerodynamic assemblies to accommodate parallel operation 
of the compressor units. Great Lakes asserts that no service to 
existing customers will be terminated or otherwise adversely impacted 
as a result of the proposed abandonment. Great Lakes proposes to 
maintain Unit 1103 in a salable condition for eventual resale.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to M. 
Catharine Davis, Associate General Counsel, Great Lakes Gas 
Transmission Limited Partnership, Texas Street, Houston, Texas 77002-
2761, telephone (832) 320-5509, or fax (832) 320-6509.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
