Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
April 8, 1997.
Take notice that on March 31, 1997, Algonquin Gas Transmission
Company (Algonquin), 1284 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, Massachusetts
02135, filed in Docket No. CP97-318-000, an abbreviated application
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for authorization to
construct and operate a lateral pipeline to connect Algonquin's
existing pipeline system with facilities owned by the Taunton Municipal
Light Plant (TMLP), all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Algonquin proposes to construct and operate approximately 924 feet
of 12-inch diameter pipeline lateral and appurtenant facilities from a
point on Algonquin's existing G-10 system in the Town of Berkeley,
Massachusetts, passing under the Taunton River, to Taunton,
Massachusetts. Algonquin says the facilities are required to provide up
to 27,000 MMBtu per day of transportation service for TMLP under

Algonquin's existing open access Rate Schedule AFT-CL, as modified.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before April 29, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426,
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to
make the protstants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Algonquin to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
