Midcoast Interstate Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Tariff Filing

October 7, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 2, 1998, Midcoast Interstate 
Transmission, Inc. (Midcoast) tendered for filing as part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, 
to become effective November 2, 1998:

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 79
Second Revised Sheet No. 79A
Second Revised Sheet No. 79B
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 80

    Midcoast asserts that the purpose of this filing is to comply with 
the Commission's Order No. 587-H, Standards for Business Practices of 
Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines issued on July 15, 1998 in Docket No. 
RM96-1-008. Midcoast states that because its current tariff allows for 
intra-day nominations to be effective on any hour of the day, except 
for 9 a.m., it is already providing more intra-day nomination 
opportunities than those required by Order 587-H. Therefore, Midcoast 
states that its tariff filing does not restrict shippers to the three 
intra-day nominations as stated in Order 587-H, but does specify that a 
10 a.m. nomination to be effective at 5 p.m. and a 6 p.m. nomination to 
be effective at 9 a.m. the next day will be allowed to bump 
interruptible shippers.
    Midcoast requested that the Commission grant such waivers as it 
deems necessary to accept this filing and to make it effective on 
November 2, 1998.
    Midcoast states that copies of the filing were served on each of 
its firm customers, interruptible customers and all affected state 
commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
