set forth in the request which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Algonquin states that it proposes to

construct and operate a delivery tap in

Somers, New York. Algonquin further

states that it will construct two taps,

metering facilities and associated

auxiliary facilities at an estimated cost

of $211,000. It is indicated that NYSEG

will pay all costs for the facilities

installed and will construct all nonjurisdictional facilities located

downstream of those constructed by

Algonquin. Algonquin asserts that it

does not propose to increase the

Maximum Daily Delivery Obligation

becomes available. Consequently,

Columbia has clarified this application

of Section 4 by adding language to

Section 4.2 which governs the award of

such capacity.

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such protests must be filed as

provided in Section 154.210 of the

Commission 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 proceeding.

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

inspection in the Public Reference

Room.
