[Docket No. CP98-724-000]


Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.; Supplemental Notice of 
Application

October 2, 1998.
    Take notice that the processing procedure for the above referenced 
proceeding has been changed. As originally filed on August 13, 1998, 
and supplemented on August 20, 1998, Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, 
L.L.C. (Maritimes), filed its request in this proceeding pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211(b)) (blanket 
certificate--prior notice).\1\ On October 1, 1998, Maritimes filed a 
letter with the Commission which requested that the Commission process 
its filing in this proceeding pursuant to Sections 157.7 of the 
Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.7) (abbreviated Section 7(c) 
certificate application).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Notice of Request under Blanket Certificate, issued by 
Commission on August 27, 1998, and published in the Federal Register 
on September 2, 1998, at 63 FR 46781.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This change is processing procedure is required because Maritimes 
has added a request to this proceeding which is not appropriate under 
the blanket certificate--prior notice procedure. Maritimes now requests 
approval, under Section 154.112(b) of the Commission's Regulations, of 
a service agreement provision that may constitute a material deviation 
from Maritimes's Rate Schedule MN365 form of service agreement. In this 
proceeding, Article III of the service agreement for Gorham Energy 
Limited Partnership (Gorham Energy) provides that, because Gorham 
Energy is only paying for capacity on the Gorham Delivery Point 
Lateral, Gorham Energy's rights under Maritimes' tariff including 
capacity rights, capacity release rights, and flexible point rights 
relate only to Gorham Energy's capacity on the Gorham Delivery Point 
Lateral. The Commission can consider such a request if the processing 
of this proceeding is under the abbreviated Section 7(c) certificate 
application process.
    No other changes in Maritimes proposal has been made and the due 
date for any person to file a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention and/or protest pursuant to Rules 214 and/or 211 of the 
Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211) remains 
October 13, 1998, the due date originally proscribed under the blanket 
certificate--prior notice procedure.

Acting Secretary.
