[Docket Nos. CP06-61-000; CP01-23-003]
North Baja Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Motion To Vacate Certificate
in Part
August 20, 2008.
Take notice that on June 25, 2008, North Baja Pipeline, LLC (North
Baja), 1400 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 900, Portland, Oregon 94201, filed
in Docket Nos. CP06-61-000 and CP01-23-003, a motion to vacate a
portion of the certificate authority granted on October 2, 2007, in
those dockets, allowing North Baja to modify and expand its existing
pipeline system to facilitate the importation of regasified liquefied
natural gas from Mexico into California and Arizona (Expansion
Project). North Baja states that the planned construction of a 45.7-
mile, 16-inch diameter lateral pipeline extending from a point north of
its Ogilby Meter Station to the Imperial Irrigation District's El
Centro Generating Facility in Imperial County, California (the ``IID
Lateral'' proposed as construction Phase I-A), is no longer necessary
due to the Imperial Irrigation District's decision to terminate its
precedent agreement. North Baja seeks to vacate the portion of its
certificate that authorizes the IID Lateral facilities, proposed as
Phase I-A of the project.
The motion is on file with the Commission and open for public
inspection. This motion is available for review at the Commission in
the Public Reference Room or may 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

Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Carl
M. Fink, Associate General Counsel, North Baja Pipeline, LLC (North
Baja), 1400 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 900, Portland, Oregon 94201, (503)
833-4256.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
North Baja's request. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status
by becoming a party to this proceeding should, on or before the comment
date listed 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 this filing and all
subsequent filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy of all
filing 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, other persons do 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 North Baja's
request. 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 this
project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties
directly involved in the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only in support of or in opposition to
North Baja's request should submit an original and two copies of their
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. The Commission's rules
require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the applicant. However, the
non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by
other parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right
to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
Comment Date: September 10, 2008.

Secretary.
