SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Nature of special permit
Anchor Point Energy, LLC, (APE) pipeline seeks relief from certain Federal regulations contained in 49 CFR 192.121, to construct and operate
a dual natural gas pipeline (7.4 miles long) located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, near Anchor Point, Alaska. The pipeline is intended to
transport natural gas from the North Fork Unit and deliver it to a sales
pipeline operated by Enstar Natural Gas Company. The construction is
planned to begin in mid 2010. Approximately 6.4 miles of the proposed
pipeline is in a Class 1 area. Approximately 0.1 mile at the west end of
the current Class 1 area has been considered as possible for conversion to Class 2 during the life of the project. APE is requesting that a
special permit be issued to allow the use of Fiberspar LinePipe in the
Class 1 area of the project, excluding the 0.1 mile possible future
Class 2 area. The pipeline starts at the North Fork Unit Pad operated
by Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC, and the end point will be at an Enstar
Natural Gas Company pipeline to be located at the unincorporated
community of Anchor Point.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans

legal interpretations issued by the Office
of General Counsel involving Veterans’
benefits under laws administered by
VA. This interpretation is considered
precedential by VA and will be followed
by VA officials and employees in future

claim matters involving the same legal
issues. The summary is published to
provide the public, and, in particular,
Veterans’ benefits claimants and their
representatives, with notice of VA’s
interpretations regarding the legal
matters at issue.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan P. Sokoll, Law Librarian,
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810
Vermont Avenue, NW., (026H),
Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461–7623.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A VA
regulation at 38 CFR 2.6(e)(8) delegates
to the General Counsel the power to
designate an opinion as precedential
and 38 CFR 14.507(b) specifies that
precedential opinions involving
Veterans’ benefits are binding on VA
officials and employees in subsequent
matters involving the legal issue
decided in the precedent opinion. The
interpretation of the General Counsel on
legal matters, contained in such
opinions, is conclusive as to all VA
officials and employees, not only in the
matter at issue, but also in future
adjudications and appeals involving the
same legal issues, in the absence of a
change in controlling statute or
regulation or a superseding written legal
opinion of the General Counsel.
VA publishes summaries of such
opinions in order to provide the public
with notice of those interpretations of
the General Counsel that must be
followed in future benefit matters and to
assist Veterans’ benefits claimants and
their representatives in the prosecution
of benefit claims. The full text of such
opinions, with personal identifiers
deleted, may be obtained by contacting
the VA official named above or by
