Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP; Notice
of Application
February 18, 2009.
Take notice that on February 4, 2009,
Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP (Cove
Point) with a principal place of business
at 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA,
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission an application under
section 3 of the Natural Gas Act seeking
authorization to upgrade, modify, and
expand the existing offshore pier at
Cove Point’s LNG Terminal located in
Calvert County, Maryland. Cove Point
says that these proposed facilities will
enable the safe docking, discharge and
departure from the pier of nextgeneration LNG vessels that are now
coming into service worldwide.
Cove Point’s proposal is more fully set
forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to
public inspection. The filing is available
for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, contact FERC
at FERCOnline Support@ferc.gov or call
toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202)
502–8659.
Any questions regarding this
Application should be directed to
Amanda K. Prestage, Regulatory and
Certificates Analyst II, Dominion
Transmission, Inc., 701 East Cary Street,
Richmond, VA 23219, telephone: (804)
771–4416, fax: (804) 771–4804.
Cove Point says that its Pier
Reinforcement Project would consist of
the following components to be
constructed at or adjacent to the existing
offshore pier at the Cove Point LNG
Terminal:
• Installation of ten new mooring
dolphins;
• Reinforcement of eight existing
breasting dolphins;
• Construction of new walkways at
each end of the pier;
• Replacement of the existing
gangways and service cranes with new
automated gangways on platforms;
• Installation of new display boards;
• Upgrading of the docking control
system with new quick-release mooring
hooks;
PO 00000
Frm 00026

Sfmt 4703
8521
• Dredging the channelward side of
the pier to accommodate deeper draft
vessels; and
• Placing the dredged material at a
permitted dredged material placement
site.
Cove Point says that the cost of the
Pier Reinforcement Project is about
$51.1 million and that it is proposing to
provide an optional incremental service
under Rate Schedules LTD–1 and LTD–
2 to shippers utilizing these proposed
Incremental Port Facilities. Under Cove
Point’s current tariff limit, it limits the
receipt of vessels at its LNG Terminal to
a capacity of no greater than 148,000
cubic meters of LNG. The proposed
modifications to the pier would allow
Cove Point to receive vessels carrying
cargoes of up to 267,000 cubic meters of
LNG. Cove Point proposes three options
for its import shippers to contract for
this incremental service which are
explained in more detail in its
application, along with applicable
proposed revisions to its tariff. One of
these options includes a cost-based
recourse rate and Cove Point provided
details to support the proposed
calculation of this recourse rate in its
filing.
Cove Point says that this proposal will
not involve an increase in the amount
of LNG delivered to the LNG Terminal,
the amount of storage capacity, or the
amount of vaporized LNG sent out from
the LNG Terminal over the levels
authorized by the Commission in the
Cove Point Expansion Project.
On May 21, 2008, the Commission
staff granted Cove Point’s request to
utilize the FERC Pre-Filing Process and
assigned Docket No. PF08–20–000 to
staff activities involved in the Pier
Reinforcement Project. Now as of the
filing of Cove Point’s application on
February 4, 2009, the Pre-Filing Process
for this project has ended. From this
time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP09–60–000,
as noted in the caption of this Notice.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the
Commission staff will either: complete
the environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental

Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
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 proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

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 in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. 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 this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in

Cove Point says that its Pier Reinforcement Project would consist
of the following components to be constructed at or adjacent to the
existing offshore pier at the Cove Point LNG Terminal:
Installation of ten new mooring dolphins;
Reinforcement of eight existing breasting dolphins;
Construction of new walkways at each end of the pier;

Installation of new display boards;
Upgrading of the docking control system with new quick-

utilizing these proposed Incremental Port Facilities. Under Cove
Point's current tariff limit, it limits the receipt of vessels at its

application, along with applicable proposed revisions to its tariff.
One of these options includes a cost-based recourse rate and Cove Point
provided details to support the proposed calculation of this recourse

On May 21, 2008, the Commission staff granted Cove Point's request
to utilize the FERC Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF08-20-
000 to staff activities involved in the Pier Reinforcement Project. Now
as of the filing of Cove Point's application on February 4, 2009, the
Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time forward,
this proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP09-60-000, as noted
in the caption of this Notice.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
complete the environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the

Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other

the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental

Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing
for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to
complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of
issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
