[Docket No. CP10–12–000] 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC; Notice of Staff Protest to 

Proposed Blanket Certificate Activity 

January 7, 2010. 

Commission staff (Protestor) hereby 

protests the prior notice request filed 

under the provisions of Part 157, 

subpart F, of the Commission’s 

regulations, by Florida Gas 

Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) on 

October 29, 2009 in the above 

referenced docket. Pursuant to its Part 

157, subpart F, blanket certificate 

authority, FGT proposes to replace, 

upgrade, and relocate portions of the 

existing St. Petersburg and Clearwater 

South Laterals and Block Valve 24–10 in 

the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County, 

Florida. Protestor seeks to have this 

prior notice request processed as a casespecific application filed under section 

7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 

Part 157, subpart A, of the 

Commission’s regulations.1

Protestor notes that FGT did not 

provide documentation from the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to 

demonstrate the Project’s compliance 

with the Endangered Species Act, as 

required under section 157.208(c)(9) of 

the Commission’s regulations. Without 

the clearance from USFWS, 

environmental concerns cannot be 

adequately addressed before the protest 

period expires on January 8, 2010.

Columbia Gulf Transmission 

Company; Notice of Technical 

Conference 

January 6, 2010. 

Take notice that Commission Staff 

will convene a technical conference in 

the above-referenced proceedings on 

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 10 a.m. 

(EST), in a room to be designated at the 

offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20426. 

The purpose of the technical 

conference is to consider the issues 

raised by Columbia Gulf Transmission 

Company’s (Columbia Gulf) Incentive 

Fixed Fuel filing in Docket No. RP10– 

134–000 and what changes, if any, 

might be necessary or appropriate. 

Because Columbia Gulf’s Incentive 

Fixed Fuel filing presents interrelated 

issues with the Transportation 

Retainage Adjustment filing in Docket 

Nos. RP09–423–000 and RP09–423–002, 

the technical conference will also 

consider the issues raised in those 

dockets that relate to the Incentive 

Fixed Fuel proposal. 

Commission Staff and interested 

persons will have the opportunity to 

discuss all of the issues raised by 

Columbia Gulf’s filings. Specifically, 

Columbia Gulf should be prepared to 

address all the concerns raised in the 

protests, and if necessary, to provide 

additional technical, engineering and 

operational support for its proposals. 

Any party proposing alternatives to 

Columbia Gulf’s proposals should also 

be prepared to similarly support its 

position. 

FERC conferences are accessible 

under section 508 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973. For accessibility
