Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.,

Notice of Request for Extension of

Time

April 17, 1998.

Take notice that on April 2, 1998,

Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.

(Granite State) submitted a request for a

further extension of time through March

31, 1999, to implement the Gas Industry

Standards Board (GISB) Standards

related to data elements, data sets,

invoice details, and EDM as listed

below:

1.2.2, 1.4.1–1.4.5, 2.3.19, 2.3.25,

2.4.1–2.4.5, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.5, 3.3.7,

3.3.10, 3.3.12, 3.3.14, 3.4.1–3.4.3, 4.3.1–

4.3.4, 5.3.9, 5.3.10, and 5.4.1–5.4.17

According to Granite State, in order to

be fully compliant with all GISB EDI

standards, it must develop a new

database and build a new interface to

process incoming and outgoing requests.

Granite State indicates that the

preliminary cost estimate of $600,000

and at least one full time employee to

address its internal information system

requirements appear excessive. Further,

Granite States claims that its customers

did not express any specific interest in

doing business with the Company via

EDI. Accordingly, the Company

continues to explore different options

for meeting the GISB requirements and

its customer’s needs, including its

evolving information system

configuration in a least cost matter.

Granite State further states that copies

of its filing have been served on its firm

transportation customers, Bay State Gas

Company and Northern Utilities, Inc.,

and on the regulatory agencies of the

states of Maine, Massachusetts and New

Hampshire.

Any person desiring to protest this

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

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

Regulations. All such protests must be

filed on or before April 24, 1998.

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. Copies of this filing are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Tariff Filing

April 17, 1998.

Take notice that on April 15, 1998,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), tendered for filing as part

of Tennessee’s FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth

Revised Volume No. 1, Ninth Revised

Sheet No. 317, Eighth Revised Sheet No.

318 and Third Revised Sheet No. 339A.

Tennessee requests that these revised

tariff sheets be made effective on June

1, 1998.

Tennessee states that the revised tariff

sheets eliminate three practices on

Tennessee’s system. These practices are:

1. Once segmented capacity has been

released to a replacement shipper,

nominations by the releasing shipper or by

the replacement shipper outside of their

respective retained or acquired capacity

segment resulting in overlapping use of

capacity;

2. Multiple releases of the same segment of

capacity (each release creating a new

contract) so that the sum of the contracts’

total quantity (TQ) exceeds the original

contract holder’s capacity rights through that

segment of pipe; and

3. Releases by a replacement shipper of

capacity segments outside of the capacity

segment the shipper acquired through

capacity release.

Tennessee states that these three

practices occur due to the use of a

priority of service entitled Secondary

Segmenting Within a Zone, a service

flexibility unique to Tennessee’s system

that is provided to firm transportation

shippers who segment capacity through

Tennessee’s capacity release program. It

is Secondary Segmenting Within a Zone

that allows firm shippers on

Tennessee’s system, in both the supply

and market areas, to effectuate the

practices discussed herein, and, through

those practices, overlap and extend

capacity entitlements beyond an

original contract’s capacity entitlements.

Tennessee further states that the

multiplication and overlap of capacity

entitlements is not consistent with

Commission policy and is not required

by Tennessee to provide the flexibility

envisioned by Order No. 636, et al.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this 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 and 385.211 of the
