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

April 20, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 16, 1999, Granite State Gas Transmission, 
Inc. (Granite State) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the revised tariff sheets listed 
below for effectiveness on May 1, 1999:

Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 21
Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 22
Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 23

    Granite State states that the revised tariff sheets listed above 
reflect the removal of the surcharge on its firm and interruptible 
transportation rate schedules which was authorized in Docket No. RP98-
205-000 to recover the costs related to the third extension of the 
lease of the Portland Pipe Line. According to Granite State, on May 1, 
1998, it filed tariff sheets to establish a surcharge on its 
transportation rates to recover the costs for the one-year extension of 
the Portland Pipe Line lease from May 1, 1998, to April 30, 1999. 
Granite State further states that the Commission, in an order issued 
May 28, 1998 (83 FERC para. 61,217), authorized the surcharge for a 
period coterminus with the lease extension from May 1, 1998, to April 
30, 1999.
    Granite State further states that its filing in Docket No. RP98-
205-000 also included a new provision in the General Terms and 
Conditions of its Gas Tariff: Section 34, related to the lease 
extension surcharge. According to Granite State, Section 34 has 
continuing effectiveness because it provides for reports to the 
Commission on costs incurred during the lease extension and revenues 
collected through the surcharge, for refunds for overcollections, a 
one-time surcharge for any undercollections and a final true-up report 
to the Commission. Granite State says that it will cancel Section 34 
when the final report is filed with the Commission.
    Granite State further states that copies of its filing have been 
served on its firm and interruptible transportation customers and on 
the regulatory agencies of the states of Maine, Massachusetts and New 
Hampshire.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
