CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Closure Letter
Dear Mr. Meier:
On September 10, 2011, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an
on-site pipeline safety inspection of TransCanada-Northern Border (TransCanada) procedures
for Alternative Maximum Operating Pressure for the Bison Pipeline in Gillette, Wyoming.
As a result of the inspection, TransCanada was issued a Notice of Amendment on August 6,
2012, which proposed amendment of your procedures.
TransCanada submitted its amended procedures on September 5, 2012. My staff reviewed the
amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of
Amendment have been corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank
you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Chris Hoidal
Director, Western Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
