Bison Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application
August 16, 2010.
Take notice that on August 12, 2010, Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison),
717 Texas Street, Suite 2400, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in the above
referenced docket an application under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act
and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations to amend the certificate
of public convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and
operation of the Bison Pipeline Project (Bison Pipeline) issued to
Bison, subject to conditions, on April 9, 2010 (Order).\1\
Specifically, Bison seeks authorization to amend the certificate of
public convenience and necessity (Certificate) in order to construct
the Project in two phases; first to meet the service requirements of
the existing service agreements and second, to coincide with the
marketing of all or a substantive part of the remaining pipeline
capacity within the timing prescribed by the Order, and in so doing
amend the initial rates for transportation service approved in the
Order. During the first phase, Bison would construct the mainline
facilities consisting of 302 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline and two
meter stations and related appurtenances as authorized in the Order
(Phase 1). During the second phase, Bison plans to construct the
Hettinger Compressor Station located in Hettinger County, North Dakota
as authorized in the Order (Phase 2). Therefore, the construction and
in-service date of the Hettinger Compressor Station would be delayed
until no later than the deadline for construction set forth in
Paragraph (D) of the Order, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The filing is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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

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 seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party. 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail

TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
