    Take notice that on October 6, 2000, Maritimes & Northeast 
Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes) tendered for filing as part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, First Revised Sheet No. 11, to 
become effective on November 1, 2000.
    Maritimes states that, pursuant to section 20 of the General Terms 
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, it is filing its Inaugural Fuel 
Retainage Quantity filing to revise the Fuel Retainage Percentages 
(FRPs) for the four calendar periods beginning November 1, 2000. 
Maritimes states that its projected FRPs reflect decreases of 0.50% in 
the winter period and 0.10% in the spring and fall shoulder periods, 
with no change in the summer period.
    Maritimes also states that it is submitting the calculation of the 
fuel retainage quantity (FRQ) deferral allocation, pursuant to section 
20 which provides that Maritimes 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. 
Maritimes states that for the period December 1, 1999 through July 31, 
2000, the FRQ Deferred Account resulted in a net credit balance of 
approximately $750,000 that will be refunded to Maritimes' customers, 
based on the allocation of the account balance over the actual 
throughput during the accumulation period, exclusive of backhauls.
    Maritimes states that copies of this filing were mailed to all 
affected customers of Maritimes and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should

and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.
