East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC; Notice of Motion To Vacate 
Certificate in Part

January 7, 2009.
    Take notice that on December 23, 2008, East Tennessee Natural Gas, 
LLC (East Tennessee), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310, 
filed in Docket No. CP01-415-019, a motion to vacate a portion of the 
certificate authority granted on November 20, 2002, (November 20 Order) 
\1\ allowing East Tennessee (a) to construct and operate 93.6 miles of 
new mainline pipeline, 82.3 miles of pipeline looping, a new 7-mile 
lateral pipeline, and five new compressor stations; (b) modify nine 
existing compressor stations; and (c) to uprate 76.7 miles of pipeline 
(Patriot Project). East Tennessee states that because Henry County 
Power, LLC and Duke Energy Wythe, LLC, do not plan to proceed with the 
construction of natural gas fired electric generation facilities, East 
Tennessee no longer plans to construct and operate associated 
facilities authorized by the Commission in the November 20 Order. East 
Tennessee has reduced the scope of the Patriot Project facilities 
authorized by the Commission and has completed the construction of only 
those facilities required to serve shippers that require firm 
transportation service.

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of

status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, 
on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory

[[Page 2067]]

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). 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 in order 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 East 
Tennessee's project. 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 in support of or in opposition to 
East Tennessee's request should submit an original and two copies of 
their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the applicant. However, the 
non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by 
other parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right 
to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (https://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: January 28, 2009.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
