[Docket No. CP00-401-001]


AltaGas Facilities (U.S.) Inc. Suprex Energy Corporation; Notice 
of Application To Amend Natural Gas Act Section 3 Authorization and 
Issue a Presidential Permit

April 18, 2001.
    Take notice that on April 12, 2001, AltaGas Facilities (U.S.) Inc. 
(AltaGas) 355-4th Avenue SW., Suite 1700, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0J1; 
and Superx Energy Corporation, (Suprex Energy) 435-4th Avenue SW., 
Suite 450, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3A8, filed an application in Docket 
No. CP00-401-001 seeking a new Presidential Permit, pursuant to 
Executive Orders Nos. 10485 and 12038, and an amended Natural Gas Act 
Section 3 authorization. These requests are pursuant to Part 153 of the 
Commission's Regulations, particularly Section 153.9(b), all as more 
fully described in the joint application. The details of joint 
application are set forth in the filing, which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. The text of this application 
may also be viewed at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-
208-2222 for help). Any initial questions regarding the application 
should be directed to Nello W. Marano, President of Suprex Energy, at 
the above address or by phone at (403) 294-1454.
    On October 27, 2000, Suprex Energy was authorized by the Commission 
in Docket No. CP00-401-000 to site, construct, operate, maintain, and 
connect pipeline facilities at the International Boundary between the 
United States and Canada in Toole County, Montana. AltaGas now requests 
that Suprex Energy's Presidential Permit and Section 3 authority, as 
described in the Commission's October 27, 2000 Order, be transferred to 
it. The design and location of the facilities would still be as 
previously approved; the 30 foot border crossing section of a new 6-
inch diameter natural gas gathering pipeline in Toole County, Montana. 
The purpose of the facilities would still be for the importing 
unprocessed natural gas into the United States from Canada. AltaGas and 
Suprex Energy say that AltaGas's requests to have these authorizations 
transferred to it is an involuntary transfer which is the result of 
Suprex Energy's debt reduction plans, as approved and required by 
Canadian court action.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 2, 2001, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214, and the Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act, 18 CFR 157.10. All protests filed with the 
Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken, but will not serve to make the protestants parties 
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding 
or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion 
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure. Comments, protests and interventions may be filed 
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 3 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given. 
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it 
will be unnecessary for Coral Mexico to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
