Notice of Rescheduling of Technical
Conference
On July 28, 2008, the Commission
issued a Notice of Technical Conference
in Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP, et al.,
Docket No. CP05–130–000, et al.,
scheduling a Technical Conference in
these proceedings on Wednesday,
August 6, 2008.1 The Technical
Conference is rescheduled to be held at
the Commission’s offices in
Washington, DC, on Thursday, August
14, 2008, commencing at 10 a.m.
As stated in the July 28 Notice, on
July 18, 2008, the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
issued an order 2 vacating the orders in
the underlying proceeding 3 to the
extent that they approve the Cove Point
Expansion Project, and remanded the
case to the Commission to more fully
address whether, consistent with the
public interest, the Cove Point
Expansion Project can go forward
without causing unsafe leakage. While
upholding the Commission’s analysis
that defects in Washington Gas Light

Company’s (WGL) system caused the
gas leaks on WGL’s system in Prince
George’s County, Maryland, the Court
found that the Commission’s
determination that WGL will be able to
fix its facilities before the November
2008 in-service was not supported by
substantial evidence. The Commission
staff has determined that discussing
with the parties the issues raised by the
Court would assist staff in evaluating
these matters.
The July 28, 2008 Notice also stated
that the Commission is convening this
Technical Conference in order that the
parties and the Commission Staff can
discuss whether and when the Cove
Point Expansion Project can go forward
without causing unsafe leakage
consistent with the public interest.
Specifically, the participants should be
prepared to discuss the nature and
progress of remedial measures taken to
date, as well as the need and benefit of
any other remedial measures that might
be taken by WGL and Dominion Cove
Point LNG, LP so that WGL’s system can
safely accommodate the increased
amounts of regasified LNG from Cove
Point’s LNG import terminal.
