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

67352 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 218 / Thursday, November 9, 2000 / Notices

throughput during the accumulation
