Blanket Authorization

November 26, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 19, 1997, Granite State Gas 
Transmission, Inc. (Granite State) 300 Friberg Parkway, Westborough, 
MA. 01581-5039, filed in the above docket a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.211(a)(2) of the Commission's Regulations, 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205

[[Page 63926]]

and 157.211(a)(2)) for authorization under Granite State's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-515-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, to construct and operate new metering and 
associated appurtenant facilities for use in providing deliveries of 
transportation gas to a new bakery owned and operated by J.J. Nissen, 
Inc. (Nissen), in Biddeford, Maine, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Granite State indicates that Nissen, a large commercial bakery, is 
constructing a new plant adjacent to Granite State's pipeline in 
Biddeford, Maine. Granite State has an existing delivery point for 
deliveries for the account of Northern Utilities, Inc., at the 
Biddeford Industrial Park. The new delivery point will be constructed 
next to the existing delivery point in Granite State's existing right-
of-way. The facility will include a 4-inch turbine meter, two 2-inch 
Fisher regulators, a 4-inch Safeco filter and miscellaneous piping and 
fencing.
    According to Granite State, the estimated cost of the new delivery 
point is $74,900, which will be reimbursed by Nissen. Granite State 
further states that it will provide interruptible transportation for 
deliveries to Nissen at the new delivery; maximum daily deliveries are 
estimated to be 500 Dth. Granite State states that the construction and 
operation of the new delivery point is not prohibited by its tariff and 
that the interruptible transportation service for Nissen will not 
adversely affect Granite State's ability to provide its maximum daily 
delivery obligations for its firm transportation shippers.
    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.
Linwood A. Watson Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
