    Specifically, Sword and Eagle Rock request the Commission to issue 
an order: (1) Transferring Sword's NGA section 3 authorization to Eagle 
Rock for the operation and maintenance of facilities for the 
importation of natural gas from the Province of Alberta, Canada, into 
Glacier County, Montana; and (2) authorizing the assignment of Sword's 
October 6, 2006, Presidential Permit for the operation and maintenance 
of facilities at the Alberta, Canada/Montana import point.
    The import facilities consist of: (1) A gas meter station in LSD 8-
4-1-16 W4M in the Province of Alberta; (2) a 4-inch (114.3 mm) diameter 
pipeline located directly south of this meter station across the 
Canada-United States border at Section 1 T37N R5W, extending a distance 
of approximately 2,300 feet. The pipeline crosses the International 
Boundary for a distance of 30 feet (the Pipeline) and interconnects 
with a 4-inch (114.3 mm) diameter pipeline (the Connector Pipeline) 
operated by Sword. The Connector Pipeline connects with an existing 
North Western-operated gathering system in northern Montana at SE \1/4\ 
Section 8, Township 37N, Range 4W downstream of the North Western-
operated North Moulton compressor station.
    Sword and Eagle Rock state that the border facilities will remain 
in place and operation following the requested transfer and assignment. 
Sword and Eagle Rock also state that there are no current third party 
service agreements associated with the Sword pipeline, although Eagle 
Rock would be prepared to offer transportation services to any other 
shipper.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
