Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

February 27, 1995.
    Take notice that on February 22, 1995, Granite State Gas 
Transmission, Inc. (Granite State) tendered for filing with the 
Commission the revised tariff sheets listed below in its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, revising the provisions of Rate 
Schedule LMS (Load Management Service), effective December 1, 1994:

Third Revised Sheet No. 24
First Revised Sheet No. 141
First Revised Sheet No. 142
First Revised Sheet No. 143
First Revised Sheet No. 144
First Revised Sheet No. 437

    According to Granite State its tariff for restructured operations, 
approved in Docket No. RS93-1-000 and effective November 1, 1993, 
included Rate Schedule LMS (Load Management Service) which provided a 
monthly balancing service and a Daily Demand Service to cover swings in 
excess of the daily variance tolerances for transportation services at 
delivery points to its former sales customers, Bay State Gas Company 
(Bay State) and Northern Utilities, Inc. (Northern Utilities). Granite 
State further states that both services were tied to underlying 
services provided by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), which 
had been Granite State's principal upstream supplier of natural gas 
supplies prior to restructuring. The monthly balancing service was tied 
to an Operational Balancing Agreement between Tennessee and Granite 
State, and Granite State contracted for the Daily Demand Service under 
Tennessee's Rate Schedule LMS-MA.

    Granite State further states that, during the latter half of 1994, 
Tennessee offered its customers an option to convert Daily Demand 
Service to a storage service under its Rate Schedule FS-MA. According 
to Granite State, it and its customers accepted the option; Granite 
State assigned its conversion rights to Bay State and Northern 
Utilities and both customers contracted separately with Tennessee for 
storage services under Tennessee's Rate Schedule FS-MA, effective 
December 1, 1994.

    According to Granite State, the revised tariff sheets submitted 
herewith eliminate the Daily Demand Service and references to the 
service from its Rate Schedule LMS but continue the availability of the 
monthly balancing service through the Operational Balancing Agreement 
with Tennessee.

    According to Granite State, copies of its filing were served upon 
its customers, Bay State and Northern Utilities, and the regulatory 
commissions of the States of Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said filing should file a motion to intervene or protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426 in accordance with Rules 211 and 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 
and 385.214). All such motions or protests should be filed on or before 
March 6, 1995. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not service to 
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules. Copies of this filing are on 
file with the Commission and are available for public inspection.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
