    Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C., Portland Natural Gas 
    Transmission System; Notice of Technical Conference
    
    May 23, 1996.
        Take notice that a technical conference will be convened in the 
    above-docketed proceedings on Thursday, June 6, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., in 
    a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
    Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
        The purpose of the technical conference is to allow the project 
    proponents to clarify how the two above-docketed projects will serve 
    either local distribution companies or other natural gas customers in 
    Maine and New Hampshire. Proponents of these projects and all of the 
    interstate pipelines that will provide upstream or downstream 
    transportation for the projects should attend and be prepared to answer 
    questions relating to the required interconnections and operational 
    requirements for each project.
        Specifically, all of the parties should be prepared to discuss the 
    following:
         What, if any, impediments exist related to Maritimes & 
    Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.'s (Maritimes) proposal to interconnect with 
    Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.'s (Granite State) and Tennessee 
    Gas Pipeline Company's (Tennessee) existing transmission facilities?
         What provisions of Granite State's FERC tariff and 
    Maritimes' pro forma FERC tariff apply to Maritimes' and/or its 
    shippers' request to interconnect with Granite State and for service on 
    Granite State? To what extent have the pipelines and/or shippers 
    complied or will comply with such provisions? Also, were the 
    interconnections with Granite State for the Portland Natural Gas 
    Transmission System (PNGTS) project treated consistently with the 
    request by Maritimes for interconnections?
         What were the circumstances relating to any other receipt 
    or delivery points which Granite State has constructed or plans to 
    construct under the terms of its FERC tariff?
         What are the potential capacity release volumes and/or 
    excess capacity on Tennessee and Granite State for these projects?
        Any party, as defined in 18 CFR 385.214, and any participant, as 
    defined in 18 CFR 385.102(b), in the above-docketed proceedings are 
    invited to participate in the technical conference.
