Lakehead Pipe Line Company Limited

Partnership; Notice of Petition for

Declaratory Order

August 21, 1997.

Take notice that on August 12, 1997,

pursuant to Rule 207 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207, and Section

15(13) of the Interstate Commerce Act

(ICA), Lakehead Pipe Line Company,

Limited Partnership (Lakehead), filed a

petition with the Commission for a

declaratory order authorizing Lakehead

to disclose on a limited basis certain

information regarding shipments of

natural gas liquids (NGL) through its

system.

Lakehead states that the purpose of

this disclosure is to facilitate provision

of NGL transportation service to

multiple shippers in keeping with

orders issued by this Commission and

the National Energy Board of Canada

(NEB).

Lakehead states that it and

Interprovincial Pipe Line Inc. (IPL)

(which delivers natural gas liquids to

Lakehead) anticipate that more

complicated patterns of receipt and

delivery will soon develop, such that

their current tracking system will not be

sufficient to take into account

differences in quality and composition

among the various NGL streams being

tendered for shipment. In particular, it

may in the near future be necessary for

Lakehead to begin measuring and

tracking NGL components delivered out

of its system at intermediate

destinations, and the results of those

measurements would be made available

to IPL for disclosure to the respective

NGL shippers.

Lakehead states that the difficulty this

poses for Lakehead relates to the

provision of the ICA that makes

unauthorized disclosure of shipper

information unlawful in certain

circumstances. 49 U.S.C. app. section

15(13) (1988). Lakehead is concerned

that its participation in any system of

component tracking or component

balancing requiring disclosure of the

composition of a shipper’s NGL stream

could subject it to civil, and possibly

criminal, liability under ICA section

15(13). At the same time, Lakehead

states that a component balancing or

component tracking system that does

not take account of the U.S. destination

points on the Lakehead system would

likely be ineffective in many

circumstances as a means of keeping the

NGL shippers whole. Accordingly,

Lakehead submits this petition to seek

the Commission’s authorization for the

necessary disclosures to permit IPL and

Lakehead to implement a workable

component balancing or component

tracking system.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with 18 CFR

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before September 5, 1997.

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 motion to

intervene. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.
