Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

September 17, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 15, 1998, Iroquois Gas Transmission 
System, L.P. (Iroquois) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets, with an effective date of October 17, 1998:

Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 4
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 46
Second Revised Sheet No. 46A
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 47

    Iroquois states that the instant filing is designed to convert its 
tariff and rates from a volumetric to a thermal basis. According to 
Iroquois, TransCanada PipeLines has announced that it will restate its 
contracts in terms of energy by using an average heating value for the 
1997 calendar year; the heating value for deliveries to Iroquois during 
that time is 1.011693. Iroquois proposes to use this conversion factor 
in its tariff to simplify the conversion process across the two 
pipelines. Because its demand rates are based in part upon an assumed 
1-to-1 conversion factor, Iroquois has also restated its rates (as 
approved by the Commission on August 31, 1998 in Docket No. RP97-126) 
to ensure that this conversion to energy does not adversely impact any 
customer on a financial basis.
    Iroquois states that copies of its filing were served on all 
jurisdictional customers and interested 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
