FERC Chairman Responds to Canadian Ambassador’s Letter Concerning LNG Transit Through Canadian Waters
In late February, FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff responded to a letter from Canadian Ambassador to the United States Gary Doer. In his response, Chairman Wellinghoff stated that the Commission recognizes that “issues relating to LNG tanker passage through Canadian waters have not been resolved,” but that FERC would continue to process the LNG terminal applications filed by Downeast and Calais LNG. Chairman Wellinghoff’s letter is available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP10-32.
