Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership; Notice of 
Negotiated Rate Contract and Non-Conforming Service Agreement

October 17, 2001.
    Take notice that on October 12, 2001, Great Lakes Gas Transmission 
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes) filed for disclosure, a 
transportation service agreement pursuant to Great Lakes' Rate Schedule 
FT entered into by Great Lakes and Engage Energy America LLC (Engage) 
(FT Service Agreement). The FT Service Agreement being filed reflects a 
negotiated rate arrangement between Great Lakes and Engage commencing 
December 1, 2001. Engage obtained the capacity as the successful bidder 
in an open season held for the capacity. The FT Agreement also 
constitutes a non-conforming service agreement as contemplated in 
Sec. 154.1(d) of the Commission's regulations.
    Great Lakes states that the FT Service Agreement is being filed to 
implement a negotiated rate contract as required by both Great Lakes' 
negotiated rate tariff provisions and the Commission's Statement of 
Policy on Alternatives to Traditional Cost-of-Service Ratemaking for 
Natural Gas Pipelines and Regulation of Negotiated Transportation 
Services of Natural Gas Pipelines, issued January 31, 1996, at Docket 
Nos. RM95-6-000 and RM96-7-000.

    Great Lakes also states that the FT Service Agreement is a non-
conforming service agreement in that it deviates in a material aspect 
from the form of service agreement in Great Lakes' tariff. Accordingly, 
Great Lakes has also filed Tenth Revised Sheet No. 1 and Original Sheet 
No. 90 for inclusion in Great Lakes' FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised 
Volume No. 1, identifying the FT Service Agreement as a non-conforming 
service agreement as required by Sec. 154.112(b) of the Commission's 
regulations, effective December 1, 2001.
    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 on or 
before October 24, 2001. 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
