Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

November 3, 2000.
    Take notice that on October 31, 2000, Algonquin Gas Transmission 
Company (Algonquin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, Eleventh Revised Sheet No. 40 and Fourth 
Revised Sheet No. 686, to become effective on December 1, 2000.
    Algonquin states that, pursuant to section 32 of the General Terms 
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, it is filing to revise the Fuel 
Reimbursement Percentages (FRPs) for the calendar periods beginning 
December 1, 2000. Algonquin states that the use of actual data for the 
latest available 12-month period yields decreased FRPs which, compared 
to the last FRQ annual filing, consist of a 0.06% decrease in the FRP 
for the Winter season and 0.28% decrease for the Non-Winter seasons. 
Algonquin proposes to change its tariff to provide for the levelization 
of the three Non-Winter periods in response to requests from customers 
for rate stability and in compliance with the Commission's directive in 
approving Algonquin's last annual FRP filing. Algonquin specifically 
requests that its tariff changes be accepted by the Commission in order 
to permit Algonquin to continue to combine the three seasonal periods 
as proposed.
    Algonquin also states that it is submitting the calculation of the 
fuel reimbursement quantity (FRQ) deferral allocation, pursuant to 
section 32.5(c) which provides that Algonquin will calculate surcharges 
or refunds designed to amortize the net monetary value of the balance 
in the FRQ Deferred Account at the end of the previous accumulation 
period. Algonquin states that for the period August 1, 1999 through 
July 31, 2000, the FRQ Deferred Account resulted in a net credit 
balance that will be refunded to Algonquin's customers, based on the 
allocation of the account balance over the actual

throughput during the accumulation period, exclusive of backhauls.
    Algonquin states that copies of this filing were mailed to all 
affected customers of Algonquin and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's 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 proceedings. 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
