Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 16, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 7, 1997, Algonquin Gas Transmission 
Company (Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas, 77056-5310, 
filed in the above docket, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations, for authorization to construct 
a delivery point in Rochester, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, so that 
Algonquin may provide natural gas deliveries to Colonial Gas Company, 
(Colonial), a local distribution company and existing customer, all as 
more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Algonquin proposes to construct and install a 4-inch 
tap valve on Algonquin's G-8 Lateral at an existing 20-inch loop, at 
approximate mile Post 13.05 in Rochester, Plymouth County, 
Massachusetts. In addition to the facilities described above, Algonquin 
will install, or cause to be installed, a 4-inch turbine meter run and 
associated valving, approximately 100 feet of 4-inch pipeline which 
will extend from the Meter Station to the Tap and electronic gas 
measurement equipment.
    Colonial will install or cause to be installed boilers, heat 
exchanger, 2-inch regulator runs, odorant injection equipment, and 
facilities to house and support Algonquin's meter and EGM equipment.
    Algonquin states that the transportation service will be rendered 
within Colonial's existing maximum daily transportation quantities 
pursuant to Colonial's existing firm service agreements and Algonquin's 
FERC Gas Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1.
    Colonial will reimburse Algonquin 100 percent of the costs and 
expenses that Algonquin will incur for installing the facilities. Such 
costs and expenses are estimated to be approximately $182,350 excluding 
an allowance for federal income taxes. Algonquin states that the 
installation of the delivery point will have no effect on Algonquin's 
peak day or annual deliveries. Algonquin submits that its proposal will 
be accomplished without detriment or disadvantage to Algonquin's other 
customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
