Providence Gas Company; Notice of Petition for Approval of 
Displacement Rate

February 9, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 19, 1999, Providence Gas Company 
(Providence), located at 1000 Weybosset Street, Providence, Rhode 
Island 02903, a natural gas distribution utility, organized and 
existing under the laws of the State of Rhode Island, submitted a 
request for approval of displacement rate to provide firm displacement 
service to certain customers of Algonquin LNG, Inc. (ALNG). The request 
was made pursuant to its blanket certificate in Docket No. CP92-166 
which authorizes Providence to engage in the sale, transportation, or 
assignment of natural gas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction 
under the Natural Gas Act to the same extent and in the same manner 
that intrastate pipelines are authorized to engage in such activities 
by Subparts C, D, and E of Part 284 of the Commission's regulations.
    Providence proposes to provide displacement service under its 
existing limited jurisdiction blanket certificate in conjunction with 
ALNG's application in Docket No. CP99-113-000. Providence proposes to 
implement a monthly reservation charge of approximately $1.20 per 
dekatherm. Providence states that under its blanket certificate it is 
now authorized to charge a 100% load factor rate of $1.4926 per 
dekatherm, which would equate to a reservation charge of $45.375 for 
firm service on a monthly basis.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said filing should file a motion to intervene or protest 
in accordance with Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such petitions or protests must be 
filed with the Secretary of the Commission on or before February 1999. 
This petition for rate approval is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Reference 
Office.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
