RE: Docket Nos. CP10-31-000

000 and CP10
CP10-32-000
Calais LNG Project Company LLC and Calais Pipeline Company, LLC.

Dear Secretary Bose:

On December 17, 2010, Arthur Gelber of Calais LNG requested further delay by FERC in
deciding whether to continue processing
ocessing their applications. This request should be denied as it seems
inappropriate for the Commission staff as well as for the public to continue to devote time and
resources to this project.

Calais LNG recently withdrew its application from before the Maine Board of Environmental
Protection for reasons that would equally apply to the FERC process. To claim that there are “new”
Managing Members and that this is a reason for delay obscures the fact that these so called “new”
Managing Members have been involved
nvolved with the project since its onset.

There are some “new” things that occurred, but neither warrants a further delay in deciding to
terminate the FERC application process:

 Last July the public became aware that the LLC member that was providing evidence
evide
of financial capacity had withdrawn. But the remaining member was the same, and
consisted of the same people, as this so
so-called “new” member.

 On September 1, 2010, Calais LNG lost title, right and interest in property required for
the construction of this project. That fact was concealed from the public, and
apparently also from FERC and the Maine BEP, until the property owners themselves
came forward last month.

At present, Calais LNG does not have property on which to build the project and does not have
the financial capacity to move forward. There seems little reason for the FERC process to continue.

I have attached a copy of a draft Board Order for the MAINE BEP process which summarizes
the history of this project and provides insight into the iissues.. This order would have been considered
by that Board except that Calais LNG withdrew its application prior to the scheduled Board meeting.

Sincerely,

Ronald S. Rosenfeld, M.D.
