[Docket Nos.CP98-131-006 and CP06-29-000]

 
Vector Pipeline L.P.; Notice of Application

December 12, 2005.
    On November 30, 2005, in Docket No. CP06-29-000, Vector Pipeline 
L.P (Vector), pursuant to Natural Gas Act section 7(c) and Part 157 
Subpart A of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations filed an application for a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity for authorization to construct, own, and 
operate, compression faculties and appurtenances thereto, to be located 
in Will County, Illinois and Macomb County, Michigan, as more fully set 
forth in the application. The new compressor stations would be 
constructed adjacent to its mainline facilities. The proposed Joliet 
Compressor Station will consist of one 15,000 horsepower (hp) 
compressor unit, while the Romeo Compressor Station would consist of 
two 15, 000 hp compressor units. Total cost of construction would be 
about $70.4 million. Vector states that the additional compression will 
serve to increase its mainline transport capacity of additional 
supplies of gas for delivery in the United States and/or to its 
Canadian border connection. Vector requests that the Commission grant 
certificate authorization no later than November 1, 2006 so that the 
facilities can be in service by November 1, 2007.
    Concurrently, in Docket No. CP98-131-006, Vector filed an 
application to amend the Presidential Permit and Natural Gas Act 
Section 3 authority issued to Vector by the May 27, 1998 Commission 
Order on Rehearing, 87 FERC ] 61,225, as subsequently amended. Vector 
states that the proposed amendment would add to their extant authority 
to transport gas between the United States and Canada by increasing the 
maximum capacity permitted to flow through the existing border 
facilities from 1330 thousand cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) to 2300 MMcf/
d. The higher maximum capacity

is a result of the proposed system expansion in Docket No. CP06-29-000.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to Robert 
F. Smith Manager, Regulatory and Administration at Vector Pipeline 
L.P., 38705 Seven Mile Road, Suite 490, Livonia, Michigan 48152 or by 
calling (734) 462-0234, or facsimile (734) 462-0231; or Kim M. Clark, 
Esq. at John & Hengerer, 1200 17th Street, NW., Suite 600, Washington, 
DC 20036-3013 or by calling 202-429-8800 or facsimile 202-429-8805.
    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, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
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 this 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages 

intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. eastern time on January 3, 2006.

Secretary.
