DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. RM05–1–000] 

Regulations Governing the Conduct of 

Open Seasons for Alaska Natural Gas 

Transportation Projects; Notice of 

Alaska Natural Gas Transportation 

Projects Open Season Pre-Filing 

Workshop 

February 2, 2010. 

On February 11, 2010, the Staff of the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) will hold a workshop on the 

procedures and process for holding and 

commenting on an open season for an 

Alaska Natural Gas Transportation 

Project. The Workshop is being held at 

the Commission’s headquarters in 

Washington. 

In 2005, in the above-referenced 

docket, FERC enacted regulations under 

the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act 

which established the procedures for 

conducting open seasons for the 

purpose of making binding 

commitments for the acquisition of 

capacity on Alaska natural gas 

transportation projects. TransCanada 

Alaska Company LLC (TC Alaska) has 

recently filed its request for approval of 

its Open Season plan for its Alaska 

Pipeline Project in Docket No. PF09–11– 

001. Denali—The Alaska Gas Pipeline 

LLC has publicly stated that it intends 

to hold an open season for its project in 

2010. 

Under FERC’s open season 

regulations, prior to conducting an open 

season for an Alaskan natural gas 

transportation project, each project 

sponsor is required to submit a detailed 

open season plan to FERC. After 

receiving the project sponsor’s open 

season plan, FERC will issue a notice 

requesting public comments on the 

open season plan and explain the 

procedure for submitting such 

comments. Absent unusual 

circumstances, FERC will act on the 

open season plan within 60 days its 

submission by the project sponsor. 

Both of these project sponsors have 

initiated FERC’s pre-filing process, 

which is typically focused on FERC’s 

environmental review of a project. 

However in this instance, the pre-filing 

process also includes FERC’s review, 

approval, and oversight of the project 

sponsors’ open season. FERC Staff is 

holding this Open Season Pre-Filing 

Workshop to provide interested parties 

an opportunity to learn about and 

discuss the procedures and process for 

commenting upon and holding an open 

season. 

The workshop will be held on 

February 11, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

(EST) at: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 1st Street, NE., Room 

3M3, Washington, DC 20426. 

All interested parties may attend. The 

agenda for the Open Season Pre-Filing 

Workshop is attached. There will be no 

discussion of TC Alaska’s filing in 

Docket No. PF09–11–001, or any other 

aspect of the proposed Alaska pipeline 

projects. Rather, the Workshop will 

focus on the requirements of the 

Commission’s regulations and 

procedures and process for commenting 

upon and holding an open season. In 

order to ensure that questions can be 

appropriately answered, it is requested 

that interested parties provide any 

questions in advance (by February 8, 

2010) to Richard Foley at 

richard.foley@ferc.gov, and they will be 

added to the Agenda without 

attribution. 

The workshop will not be transcribed 

by the FERC Staff. Telephone 

participation will be available; by 

calling: 

Conference number: (888) 673–9807. 

Participant passcode: 25121. 

For security reasons, the passcode 

will be required to join the call. 

Restrictions may exist when accessing 

freephone/toll free numbers using a 

mobile telephone.
