Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

September 3, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 31, 1998, Granite State Gas 
Transmission, Inc. (Granite State) tendered for filing with the 
Commission the revised tariff sheets listed below in its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, for effectiveness on October 1, 
1998:

Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 21, and
Sixteenth Revised Sheet No. 22.

    According to Granite State, the revised tariff sheets state the 
Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) surcharge applicable to its firm 
transportation services during the fourth quarter of 1998. Granite 
State further states that the PCA is a tariff tracking mechanism to 
pass through to its firm transportation customers certain incremental 
electric power costs which Granite State is obligated to reimburse 
Portland Pipe Line Corporation pursuant to the terms of a lease of a 
pipeline facility from Portland Pipe Line.
    According to Granite State, the fourth quarter PCA has been 
calculated consistent with revisions in the tariff provision approved 
by the Commission in letter orders issued June 25, 1998 and August 18, 
1998 in Docket Nos. RP98-155-003 and TM98-4-4-001. Accordingly, Granite 
State says that the surcharge consists of two components: a Quarterly 
Forecast PCA factor of $0.2360 based on projected incremental electric 
power to be billed to Granite State during the fourth quarter of 1998, 
as estimated by Portland Pipe Line and the Reconcilable PCA factor of 
$0.5765 which reconciles the past accumulated over/under collections in 
the Deferred Account.
    Granite State further states that its filing has been served upon 
its firm transportation customers, and on the regulatory agencies of 
the states of Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
    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.

Acting Secretary.
