together with a reconciliation for prior

period undercollections. It is said that

the proposed reconciliation was rejected

in an order issued April 1, 1998 on the

grounds that the reconciliation

procedure appeared to recover

reimbursable power costs incurred prior

to the date that the PCA became

effective on April 1, 1997.

Granite State says that the April 1,

1998 order established a Technical

Conference in the proceeding which

was held May 19, 1998, during which

the Staff made certain recommendations

concerning the PCA tracking procedure

and particularly the reconciliation

methodology for undercollections of the

electric power costs. According to

Granite State, the revised tariff sheets

listed above incorporate Staff suggested

revisions in the PCA procedure to

establish separate surcharge

components for the projected electric

power costs in each quarterly filing and

a separate surcharge component for the

recovery of uncollected costs in prior

periods. Granite State further states that

the foregoing revised tariff sheets and

surcharge calculations also reflect

Granite State’s understanding of its

authorization to collect prior period

undercollections through the

reconciliation procedure in the PCA.

Granite State also states that during

the Technical Conference the Staff

disagreed with granite State’s

interpretation of the authorization to

collect prior period undercollections of

the electric power costs billed by

Portland Pipe Line, particularly such

costs incurred prior to April 1, 1997.

Granite State has also tendered in this

filing the alternate revised tariff sheets

listed below for effectiveness on July 1,

1998:

Alternate Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 21

Alternate Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 22

Alternate Substitute Revised Sheet Nos. 333

and 334

Acccording to Granite State the

foregoing alternate revised tariff sheets

reflect in the PCA reconciliation

methodology and calculation of the PCA

surcharge the Staff’s view of Granite

State’s authorization to recover prior

period reimbursable electric power

costs.

According to Granite State, copies of

its filing have been served on its firm

customers, Bay State Gas Company and

Northern Utilities, Inc., and on the

regulatory agencies of the states of

Maine, Massachusetts and New

Hampshire.
