[Docket No. RP20-1204-000]


ANR Pipeline Company, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, Columbia 
Gulf Transmission, LLC; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on September 21, 2020, pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) 
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207(a)(2) (2020), ANR Pipeline 
Company, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, and Columbia Gulf 
Transmission, LLC (collectively, TC Energy Pipelines or Petitioner) 
filed a petition for a declaratory order seeking a Commission order 
holding that if Gulfport Energy Corporation (Gulfport) files for 
bankruptcy, the Commission will have concurrent jurisdiction, under 
sections 4 and 5 of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. 717c and 717d 
(2018), with U.S. Bankruptcy Courts with respect to each of the TC 
Energy Pipelines' respective firm transportation service agreements 
with Gulfport (Gulfport TSAs). The petition also requests that the 
Commission exercise that jurisdiction to establish an adjudicative 
proceeding to affirm that continued performance under the Gulfport TSAs 
does not seriously harm the public interest and that any party wishing 
to abrogate the Gulfport TSAs carries the burden of establishing that 
the public interest mandates such abrogation, all as more fully 
explained in the petition.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 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 comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene, or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Petitioner.
    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 may mail similar 
pleadings to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 
NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand delivered submissions in docketed 
proceedings should be delivered to Health and Human Services, 12225 
Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
