Downeast Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Amendment

January 24, 2007.
    Take notice that on January 16, 2007, Downeast Pipeline, LLC 
(Downeast Pipeline), PO Box 865, Calais, Maine 04619, filed, in Docket 
No. CP07-53-001, an application to amend its pending application for a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) filed with the Commission on December 
22, 2006. Downeast Pipeline proposes to amend its application to 
reflect a modification to its originally proposed pipeline route in 
order to avoid crossing the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge which is 
owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The 
modification proposed by Downeast Pipeline affects 7.5 miles of the 
originally proposed 31-mile-long route and extends from milepost 10.2 
to milepost 17.7, all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
Commission staff will determine if this amendment will have an effect 
on the schedule for the environmental review of this project. A Notice 
of Schedule for Environmental Review will be issued when Commission 
staff has received all the information necessary in order to complete 
the draft EIS.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Robert Wyatt, Downeast LNG, Inc., PO Box 865, Calais, ME 04619 or Lisa 
M. Tonery, Fulbright & Jaworski, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10103-
3198, (212) 318-3009.
    This filing is available for review at the Commission's Washington, 
DC office or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/
 using the ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket number, 

excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this Project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceeding for this project should file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 
157.10) by the comment date, below. A person obtaining party status 
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the 
Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the 
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of 
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the 
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene to have comments 
considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the 
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two 
copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project and/
or associated pipeline. The Commission will consider these comments in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a 
comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the 
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments 
in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to 
the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 285.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: February 21, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
