    Alliance Pipeline L.P.; Notice of Amendment
    
    May 25, 1999.
        Take notice that on May 21, 1999, Alliance Pipeline L.P. 
    (Alliance), Suite 400, 605--5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada 
    T2P 3H5, filed in Docket No. CP97-168-003 an application pursuant to 
    Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for an amendment to its certificate 
    of public convenience and necessity previously issued by the Commission 
    on September 17, 1998 in Docket No. CP97-168-000, all as more fully set 
    forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
    to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the Internet at 
    http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
    assistance).
        The Commission's September 17, 1998 order authorized the 
    construction of a 886.8 mile long, 36-inch diameter pipeline, the U.S. 
    portion of a project to transport natural gas from Canada at the 
    intentional boundary in North Dakota to an interconnection near 
    Chicago, Illinois. Alliance states that it seeks authorization to 
    construct and operate its certificated Albert Lea 25-A Compressor 
    Station at mile post 560.0 of the Alliance Pipeline route in Freeborn 
    County, Minnesota, a site located approximately 8,000 feet southeast of 
    the site certificated by the Commission's September 17, 1998 order. 
    Alliance requests the authorization no later than July 30, 1999.
        According to Alliance, the relocation of the compressor will allow 
    the pipeline to avoid using eminent domain authority to acquire the 
    land to construct the compressor station. Alliance states the 
    compressor horsepower and resulting capacity will not be affected by 
    the new location. Alliance further states that the cost of the 
    facilities is unchanged by this amendment.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before June 4, 1999, file 
    with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
    Washington, DC 20526, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
    with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
    Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the regulations under the 
    Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
    will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
    taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
    proceeding. The Commission's rules require the protestors provide 
    copies of their protests to the party or parties directly involved. Any 
    person wishing to become a party in any proceeding herein must file a 
    motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's rules.
        A person obtaining intervenor 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 every one of the 
    intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
    order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
    intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
    with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
    well as 14 copies with the Commission.
        A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
    comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of 
    comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
    on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
    environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
    associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
    Commenter will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
    all other parties. However, 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 rehearing or appeal the Commissions' final 
    order to a federal court.
        The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
    whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
        Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
    and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
    sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of 
    Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice 
    before the Commission or its designee on this application if no motion 
    to intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the 
    Commission on its own review of the matter finds that permission and 
    approval for the proposed abandonments and a grant of the certificate 
    are required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for 
    leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own 
    motion believes that formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
    hearing will be duly given.
        Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
    it will be unnecessary for Alliance to appear or to be represented at 
    the hearing.
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
