FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised

Third Revised Sheet No. 200A
Original Sheet No. 339A

    Granite State states that the instant filing is being made to 
comply with the Order on Remand in Docket No. CP95-218-002 (Remand 
Order) issued by the Commission on December 14, 2000. The ``Remand 
Order'' revised the Commission's previous policy requiring pipelines to 
seek case-by-case approval before acquiring offsystem capacity and 
permitting new acquisitions of offsystem capacity by pipelines to be 
made without pre-approval. In its order denying clarification and 
rehearing issued April 12, 2001, in Docket No. CP95-218-004, the 
Commission clarified that pipelines intending to transport gas for 
others on acquired off system capacity must receive a waiver of the 
``shipper must have title'' policy prior to commencing the service. The 
Commission stated that a pipeline need not seek such waiver on a case-
by-case basis; rather it may make a single filing to amend its tariff 
to include a general statement that it will only transport for others 
using off system capacity pursuant to its existing tariff and rates and 
to request a generic waiver of the ``shipper must have title'' policy. 
The purpose of the instant filing is to include a general statement in 
Granite State's tariff and to request such waiver.
    Granite State states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
all firm customers, interruptible customers and affected state 
commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protect 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).
