Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

November 3, 1999.
    Take notice that on October 29, 1999, Algonquin Gas Transmission 
Company (Algonquin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, Tenth Revised Sheet No. 40, to become 
effective on December 1, 1999.
    Algonquin states that, pursuant to Section 32 of the General Terms 
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, it is filing to revise the Fuel 
Reimbursement Percentages (FRPs) for the four calendar periods 
beginning December 1, 1999. Algonquin states that the use of actual 
data for the latest available 12-month period yields increased FRPs 
which, compared to the last FRQ annual filing, consist of a 0.01% 
increase in the FRP for the Winter season and seasonal increases for 
the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons ranging from 0.02% to 0.28%. 
Algonquin proposes to levelize the three non-winter periods in response 
to requests from customers for rate stability.
    Algonquin requests any waivers necessary to permit the percentages 
calculated from the actuals for the entire 8-month period, combining 
Spring, Summer and Fall, to be applied during each of the three 
seasonal periods so that for the entire 8-month period the FRP will not 
change from one season to the next.
    Algonquin also states that it is submitting the calculation of the 
fuel reimbursement quantity (``FRQ'') deferral allocation, pursuant to 
Section 32.5(c) which provides that Algonquin will calculate surcharges 
or refunds designed to amortize the net monetary value of the balance 
in the FRQ Deferred Account at the end of the previous accumulation 
period. Algonquin states that for the period August 1, 1998 through 
July 31, 1999, the FRQ Deferred Account resulted in a net credit 
balance that will be refunded to Algonquin's customers, based on the 
allocation of the account balance over the actual throughput during the 
accumulation period, exclusive of backhauls.
    Algonquin states that copies of this filing were mailed to all 
affected customers of Algonquin and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest 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 Pubic 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
