Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Compliance Filing

July 10, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 26, 1998, Granite State Gas Transmission, 
Inc. (Granite State), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised and original 
tariff sheets:

First Revised Sheet Nos. 27 through 28
Original Sheet Nos. 29 and 30
First Revised Sheet No. 100
First Revised Sheet No. 183
Original Sheet Nos. 184 through 199

    The tariff sheets are filed in compliance with the provisions of 
the May 27, 1998 certificate order issued in CP96-610-000.\1\ Granite 
State states that the tariff sheets reflect the initial rates for the 
firm LNG storage and vaporization service approved in the certificate 
order and the provisions of Rate Schedule LNG-1 for firm service. The 
filing also includes a proposed Rate Schedule LNG-2 for interruptible 
peaking storage service and the proposed rates for such service.

    \1\ See 83 FERC para. 61,194.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Granite State further states that it will file substitute 
replacement tariff sheets with effective dates not less than 60 days 
before the date on which the completed and tested storage facility is 
ready to receive shipments of LNG for injection and storage. Granite 
State says it will also file, at that time, any revisions to the 
General Terms and Conditions of its tariff that are necessary to 
reflect the effect of the two new storage services and any proposed 
changes in the initial rates, if necessary. Granite State says that it 
must file an executed contract with Northern Utilities, Inc. for firm 
peaking storage service under Rate Schedule LNG-1 before construction 
can commence, as conditioned by the certificate order. Granite State 
also says that when it submits the executed contract, it will also file 
the forms of requests for service under Rate Schedules LNG-1 and LNG-2 
and the forms of contracts for service in tariff sheet format.

    The subject sheets will be reviewed as pro forma tariff sheets. A

proposed effective date.
