[Docket No. CP10–12–000] Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Staff Protest to Proposed Blanket Certificate Activity January 7, 2010. Commission staff (Protestor) hereby protests the prior notice request filed under the provisions of Part 157, subpart F, of the Commission’s regulations, by Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) on October 29, 2009 in the above referenced docket. Pursuant to its Part 157, subpart F, blanket certificate authority, FGT proposes to replace, upgrade, and relocate portions of the existing St. Petersburg and Clearwater South Laterals and Block Valve 24–10 in the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida. Protestor seeks to have this prior notice request processed as a casespecific application filed under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157, subpart A, of the Commission’s regulations.1 Protestor notes that FGT did not provide documentation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to demonstrate the Project’s compliance with the Endangered Species Act, as required under section 157.208(c)(9) of the Commission’s regulations. Without the clearance from USFWS, environmental concerns cannot be adequately addressed before the protest period expires on January 8, 2010. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary.

The purpose of the technical conference is to consider the issues raised by Columbia Gulf Transmission Company’s (Columbia Gulf) Incentive Fixed Fuel filing in Docket No. RP10– 134–000 and what changes, if any, might be necessary or appropriate. Because Columbia Gulf’s Incentive Fixed Fuel filing presents interrelated issues with the Transportation Retainage Adjustment filing in Docket Nos. RP09–423–000 and RP09–423–002, the technical conference will also consider the issues raised in those dockets that relate to the Incentive Fixed Fuel proposal. Commission Staff and interested persons will have the opportunity to discuss all of the issues raised by Columbia Gulf’s filings. Specifically, Columbia Gulf should be prepared to address all the concerns raised in the protests, and if necessary, to provide additional technical, engineering and operational support for its proposals. Any party proposing alternatives to Columbia Gulf’s proposals should also be prepared to similarly support its position.

carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 
the Turk plant.
    On December 15, 2009, the Administrator issued an order partially 
granting and partially denying the petition. The order explains the 
reasons behind EPA's conclusion to partially grant and partially deny 
the petition for objection.
