Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request under 
Blanket Authorization

July 17, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 10, 1997, Algonquin Gas Transmission 
Company (Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-628-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to construct a delivery 
point in New York, under Algonquin's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP87-317-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, 
all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Algonquin proposes to construct and install two 4-inch tap valves 
and 4-inch check valves on Algonquin's existing 26-inch mainline and 
30-inch loop, at approximate Mile Post 99.1 in Somers, New York. ConEd 
will install, or cause to be installed approximately 900 feet of 3-inch 
pipeline which will extend from the meter station to the taps, and the 
facilities to house and support Algonquin's meter and EGM equipment. 
Algonquin states that it will provide natural gas deliveries to 
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (ConEd), a local 
distribution company and existing Algonquin customer.
    ConEd will reimburse Algonquin for 100% of the costs and expenses 
that it will incur for installing the facilities. Such costs and 
expenses are estimated to be approximately $212,000, excluding an 
allowance for federal income taxes.
    Algonquin states that the installation of the delivery point will 
have no effect on its peak day or annual deliveries, that its existing 
tariff does not prohibit the additional point, that deliveries will be 
accomplished without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers 
and that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes 
authorized prior to this request.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed 
therefor, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized 
effective the day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a 
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as 
an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
