Dear Ms. Bose:
Pursuant to Section 284.270(d) of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("Commission"), Enbridge Pipelines (AlaTenn) L.L.C. ("AlaTenn") is submiRing
an original and two conformed copies of its notice of the termination of an emergency natural
gas transportation transaction initially reported to the Commission on November 14, 2007.
Although Section 284.270(d) requires that the recipient of emergency natural gas report to the
Commission under that section, AlaTenn, at the suggestion of Commission Staff and out of an
abundance of caution, is submitting the following information required by that section within
thirty (30) days after the emergency gas transaction ends.

As originally described in its notification to the Commission on November 14, 2007, the

system and the resulting interruption of flow through a 6.6-mile section of its 100
mainline ("Test Section 4' 3 during enactment of AlaTenn's integrity management plan
("IMP"). To maintain service to customers within Test Section 4 during the IMP activity,
AlaTenn rcaehtxi agrecmcnt with the North Alabama Gas District ("NAGD") to allow
affected customers to alternately source thdr gas supply f~m NAGD. No facilities were
constructed to enable the alternate sourcing; however, the normal flow direction through
the existing NAGD Muscle Shoals #1 delivery point was reversed by flipping a check
valve.
a) The service commenced on November 14, 2007 and was completed on November
19, 2007 when deliveries resumed through these meters:

MSC # 3 0 x y Chem Delv (10310)

o f the NAGD Muscle Shoals #1 delivery point.
