firm customers are capped at $0.715 per

dekatherm on a 100 percent load factor

basis for the first five years following

the in-service date of the existing

mainline. Maritimes & Northeast states

that it will add the new Beverly delivery

point with Algonquin as an additional

primary delivery point in each firm

customer’s transportation agreement.

Maritimes & Northeast asserts that this

new delivery point will give its existing

customers greater access to Northeastern

markets and new operating flexibility

and will also increase the reliability of

service.

Maritimes & Northeast states that

because of the benefits to existing

customers along with the five-year rate

cap, its proposal satisfies the Certificates

Policy Statement’s (Policy Statement)

threshold requirement that existing

customers of a pipeline not subsidize a

project.1 Maritimes & Northeast states

that it does not seek to roll in the cost

of the new facilities at this time, but

may seek to do so in the future.

Maritimes & Northeast avers that it has

made significant efforts to minimize any

adverse impacts in accordance with the

Policy Statement. Further, Maritimes &

Northeast asserts that its proposal

provides significant benefits to its firm

shippers and to the public, including:

satisfying demand that is not currently

being served by the existing pipeline

grid; eliminating bottlenecks in the

northeastern U.S. pipeline grid;

providing direct access to a new source

of supply for markets behind the

Maritimes & Northeast and Algonquin

systems; lowering natural gas costs by

providing upstream pipeline

alternatives; increasing reliability to the

local distribution company and electric

generation markets; and advancing

clean air objectives.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Joseph

F. McHugh, Director, Regulatory Affairs,

M&N Management Company, 1284

Soldiers Field Road, Boston,

Massachusetts 02135 at 617–560–1518.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 13, 2000, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street NE., Washington, DC

20426, a motion to intervene or protest

in accordance with the requirements of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214) and the regulations under the

NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed

with the Commission will be considered

by it in determining the appropriate

action to be taken but will not serve to

make the protestants parties to the

proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party in any proceeding must

file a motion to intervene in accordance

with the Commission’s rules. Beginning

November 1, 2000, comments and

protests may be filed electronically via

the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the

instructions on the Commission’s web

site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/

doorbell.htm.

Any person obtaining intervenor

status will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents issued by the

Commission, filed by the applicant, or

filed by all other intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must serve

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as filing an original and 14 copies

with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit original and two copies of such

comments to the Secretary of the

Commission. Commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, will receive

copies of environmental documents,

and will be able to participate in

meetings associated with the

Commission’s environmental review

process. Commenters will not be

required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, commenters will not receive

copies of all documents filed by other

parties or issued by the Commission,

and will not have the right to seek

rehearing or appeal the Commission’s

final order to a Federal court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the

NGA and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that the proposal is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure provide for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Maritimes & Northeast

to appear or to be represented at the

hearing.

Secretary.
