[Docket No. CP03-63-000]


Boundary Gas, Inc.; Notice of Abbreviated Application for 
Authority to Abandon Service

March 27, 2003.
    Take notice that on March 13, 2003, Boundary Gas, Inc. (Boundary), 
filed an abbreviated application in Docket No. CP03-63-000 pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the 
Commission's Regulations for authority to abandon service effective 
January 15, 2003, all as more fully set forth in the application, which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Boundary states that the purpose of this filing is to abandon 
service because the Phase 2 Gas Sales Agreement (Sales Agreement), the 
long term sales contract under which Boundary's customers purchased gas 
from Boundary, terminated in accordance with its terms on January 15, 
2003, and none of Boundary's current customers have chosen to receive 
service from Boundary after January 15, 2003. Because the Sales 
Agreement is incorporated into Boundary's FERC Gas Tariff, Boundary has 
also made a separate filing to cancel its FERC Gas Tariff. Boundary 
states that, because Boundary is simply an administrative conduit and 
has never owned or operated any facilities in connection with its 
service under the Sales Agreement, it will not be abandoning any 
facilities and there will be no environmental impact as a result of 
this abandonment.
    Boundary states that copies of this filing were served upon each of 
Boundary's customers and the state commissions in Connecticut, 
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.
    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 385.314 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and 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. This filing is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://
