-- () -- -- (Commission) voted, at its most recent hearing on , on several matters regarding the process to review the applications for a certificate of need and route permit for ('EEP') proposed Sandpiper pipeline and EEP's portion of the Line 3 pipeline replacement project ('L3R'). The L3R project encompasses replacement of all segments of Line 3 between and and involves both EEP and Canadian subsidiaries of ('ENB', and together with EEP, 'Enbridge'). believes that most of those decisions were consistent with expectations and that they provide clarity on process matters related to execution of the pipeline projects. The outcome of one of the Commission's votes, however, contemplates the need to finalize an environmental impact statement for the pipeline projects prior to, rather than contemporaneously with, the Commission addressing other required matters. If upheld in the final order, this requirement could potentially delay the completion dates of the pipelines beyond the dates originally anticipated by .
will not be in a position to fully assess the potential impact of the Commission votes until it has had an opportunity to review the formal written order, which is not expected to be released for approximately 30 to 60 days. Following receipt of the order, will take any necessary steps to ensure the timely completion of the pipelines.
