Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline L.L.C.; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

October 4, 2001.
    Take notice that on October 1, 2001, Maritimes & Northeast 
Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes) tendered for filing as part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Second Revised Sheet No. 11 to 
become effective on November 1, 2001.
    Maritimes states that it is making this Fuel Retainage Quantity 
(``FRQ'') filing, pursuant to Section 20 of the General Terms and 
Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff.
    Maritimes is proposing no change in its current Fuel Retainage 
Percentages for the four calendar periods beginning November 1, 2001. 
Maritimes states that even though it over recovered its fuel quantity 
for the prior calendar period, Maritimes is projecting an increase in 
fuel use over that period actuals as a result of the installation and 
operation of the two new compressors units located at its Baileyville 
and Richmond, Maine Compressor Stations.
    Maritimes projects that the increased fuel requirements of the two 
compressors will offset previous over collection in company fuel use 
gas. Sheet No. 11 has been revised to clearly state the four seasonal 
calendar periods.
    Maritimes also states that it is submitting the calculation of the 
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 August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2001, the FRQ Deferred Account 
resulted in a net credit balance of approximately $905,057.07, 
inclusive of carrying charges, 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 
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
