Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company; Notice Deferring Technical 
Conference

January 12, 2009.
    On January 12, 2009, Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company (Tuscarora) 
filed a request for deferral of the technical conference scheduled in 
the above-captioned proceeding for January 15, 2009.\1\ Tuscarora 
states that it has reached a settlement in principle with the active 
parties in this proceeding, and that it anticipates filing an offer of 
settlement that will resolve all of the issues in this proceeding by 
February 12, 2009. Therefore, Tuscarora requests that the Commission 
defer the date of the technical conference until mid-February 2009, to 
allow the parties time to prepare and review the offer of settlement. 
Tuscarora states that it is authorized by the active parties in this 
proceeding to express their support for this request to defer both the 
technical conference date and the effective date of the suspended 
tariff sheets.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission directed that a technical conference be held 
to address the issues raised by Tuscarora's October 1, 2008 tariff 
filing in this proceeding. Tuscarora Gas Transmission Co., 125 FERC 
] 61,133 (2008). The technical conference was originally scheduled 
for December 11, 2008. At the request of the active parties, the 
Commission issued a notice on December 8, 2008, that postponed the 
date of the technical conference to January 15, 2009.
    \2\ Given agreement in principle among the active parties, 
Tuscarora agrees not to move into effect the tariff sheets 
previously suspended by the Commission in this proceeding prior to 
June 1, 2009. This deferral of the effectiveness of the suspended 
tariff sheets will afford time for a possible settlement to be filed 
and considered by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By this notice, Tuscarora's request for deferral of the dates 
related to the technical conference is granted. The technical 
conference scheduled for January 15, 2009, is thereby postponed until 
further notice.
