[[Page 70751]]

Baja's amendment adopts the Arrowhead Alternative described in 
supplemental filings made by North Baja on May 1 and May 24, 2006. 
North Baja does not propose any changes to the transportation capacity 
of its proposed expansion. The Arrowhead Alternative is an alternative 
interconnection with Southern California Gas Company (SoCal) as opposed 
to the originally proposed Blythe Meter Station interconnection both of 
which are located in Riverside County, California, all as more fully 
set forth in the request which is on file with Commission and open to 
public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://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, please contact FERC Online Support at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY,

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Carl 
M. Fink, Associate General Counsel, North Baja Pipeline, LLC, 1400 SW. 
Fifth Avenue, Suite 900, Portland, Oregon, 97201 at (503) 833-4256 or 
Carl_Fink@TransCanada.com.

    The new facilities associated with the Arrowhead Alternative, as 
well as the originally proposed facilities that would no longer be 
necessary (and are thus withdrawn from North Baja's proposed action), 
are described in the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the 
North Baja Pipeline Expansion Project that was issued on September 22, 
2006 for public comment. Environmental comments received on this 
amendment will be combined with those received on the draft EIS and 
will be addressed in the final EIS prepared for the North Baja Pipeline 
Expansion Project.
    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 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    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.
    Comment Date: December 20, 2006.

Secretary.
