The following is an update to the Short-Term Operational Plan for the maintenance on the NPS 36 Foothills/BC Mainline and the Elko 'C' Compressor on TransCanada's BC System.

The Alberta/BC border receipt capability will be increased to 75.5 E6m3/d (2,665 mmcf/d) effective 08:00 MST, December 29th.  The capability is expected to remain at this level through December and part of January as plans are put in place to perform the required repairs to the NPS 36 Foothills/BC Mainline.

Current firm service contract levels for the month of December and January are 69.9 E6m3/d (2,488 mmcf/d) and 69.2 E6m3/d (2,463 mmcf/d) respectively at the Alberta/BC Border.

Increased capability is made possible through availability of the Elko 'C' compressor unit.
