    DOMAC states that it purchases liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported by Distrigas LLC from various international sources. Distrigas LLC is a corporate affiliate of DOMAC. DOMAC then resells the LNG in vapor and liquid form to its customers located throughout the northeastern United States. DOMAC's customers include local distribution companies, gas marketers, and end-users, including electric power generation plants. DOMAC proposes to continue to make such sales of LNG in liquid and vapor form subject only to the Commission's jurisdiction under section 3 of the NGA, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DOMAC proposes that sales of vaporized LNG will be under flexible, negotiate contracts with market-responsive terms not subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. However, DOMAC proposes a Statement of Terms and Conditions for Liquid Service incorporating terms and conditions from the current Tariff, to apply only to liquid sales. DOMAC requests that the proposed abandonment of such sales pursuant to its amended certificate under section 7 of the NGA and the Terms of Liquid Service be effective as of April 1, 2008.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date shown below. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.

    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at http://www.ferc.gov.
