Legislators want 2004 application

Twenty-three Alaska legislators signed a letter dated Jan. 31 to Gov. Sarah Palin and Tony Palmer, TransCanada’s vice president of Alaska business development, asking for release of the 2004 TransCanada gas pipeline application.

Palmer was asked about the request at the Alaska Support Industry Alliance Feb. 14.

He said the letter, requesting the application TransCanada submitted under the Stranded Gas Development Act, was received Feb. 11.

Palmer said he questions “the relevance of that information.”

That 2004 application was under the process established by the previous administration and Legislature, he said. “And although I haven’t gone back and reviewed that in detail I am aware that if we had made that filing under AGIA, it would not have been a compliant application. And I would fully expect it would have been rejected.”

He said TransCanada is reviewing the request.

“I respect a request from 23 legislators,” he said, and the company is considering how to respond to the request and will respond the week of Feb. 18.
