[Docket No. OR12-10-000]


Explorer Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment to Petition for 
Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on May 17, 2012, pursuant to Rule 215 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.215 (2011), 
Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer) filed an amendment to its March 
23, 2012 Petition to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a 
declaratory order approving (1) priority capacity and (2) the overall 
rate structure for Explorer's proposed diluent pipeline extension 
project (Diluent Extension Project). In its Petition, Explorer 
described the Diluent Extension Project as involving the construction 
of a new pipeline segment from Peotone, Illinois to Manhattan, 
Illinois, where Explorer's pipeline system will interconnect with 
Enbridge's Southern Lights pipeline. In light of recent industry 
developments, Explorer states in its amendment that it seeks to make 
the priority capacity and overall rate structure it requests in its 
Petition available to shippers who commit to a different 
interconnection project. Accordingly, Explorer requests that the 
Commission grant the Petition, subject to this amendment.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in this proceeding 
must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) on or 
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment date. 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. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must 
serve a copy of that document on the Petitioner.
