[Docket No. CP11-521-000]


Michigan Consolidated Gas Company and Dawn Gateway Pipeline, LLC; 
Notice of Application

    Take notice that on July 26, 2011, Michigan Consolidated Gas 
Company (MichCon), and Dawn Gateway Pipeline, LLC (Dawn Gateway), whose 
offices are co-located at One Energy Plaza, Detroit, Michigan 48226, 
filed in Docket No. CP11-521-000, a joint application pursuant to 
section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting Commission 
authorization to (1) Permit MichCon to relinquish its existing NGA 
section 3 authorization and Presidential Permit that was issued to 
MichCon for the Belle River-St. Clair Pipeline on September 13, 1989; 
and (2) issue a new NGA section 3 authorization and Presidential Permit 
to Dawn Gateway to reflect its anticipated lease from MichCon of the 
Belle River-St. Clair Pipeline. Dawn Gateway states that incorporating 
MichCon's Belle River-St. Clair Pipeline into the new 21-mile long Dawn 
Gateway Pipeline system, which includes other pipeline segments in 
Canada, will improve the connections between Michigan and the Dawn 
Ontario market hub. MichCon and Dawn Gateway further have requested 
that the Commission grant these approvals to become effective on the 
date that the lease takes effect.
    The application is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
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, call (202) 502-8659 or TTY, (202) 
208-3676.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Mark 
Bering, Director, Marketing & Optimization, DTE Pipeline/Dawn Gateway 
LLC, One Energy Plaza, Detroit, MI 48226, phone (313) 235-6531 or e-
mail beringm@dteenergy.com.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    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 below listed 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.
    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

[[Page 48835]]

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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.

    Comment Date: August 24, 2011.

    Dated: August 3, 2011.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
