NEB to review TransCanada tolls application for a new receipt point at Gros Cacouna

CALGARY - The National Energy Board (NEB) will hold an oral hearing to review an application by TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TransCanada) for approval of the method that would be used to determine tolls for services from a new receipt point. This new receipt point would allow the reception of regasified liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Gros Cacouna, Québec.

As outlined in its application, TransCanada expects future applications to be filed with the NEB for approval of the construction of the pipeline facilities required to connect the Gros Cacouna receipt point to its integrated pipeline system.

An oral hearing for the current application is scheduled to begin on Monday 16 April 2007 in Québec City at a location yet to be determined. Interested persons can participate in the public hearing in one of two ways:

  1. by seeking intervenor status, or
  2. by filing a letter of comment.

To be considered for intervenor status, applications must be submitted by noon (MST), 2 February 2007. The deadline for letters of comment is noon (MST), 5 March 2007. The above documents must be filed with the Secretary of the Board, and a copy sent to TransCanada and its counsel. Please note that on-line application forms are available on the NEB's Internet site at www.neb-one.gc.ca. Click on "Submit documents electronically", scroll down to "On-line forms for participation in a hearing" and select the option of your choice.

The hearing will be broadcast live over the NEB's Internet site. Anyone wishing to listen to the daily proceedings should log onto www.neb-one.gc.ca and follow instructions under "Hearings and Information Sessions".
