Portland Natural Gas Transmission System; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

May 15, 2003.
    Take notice that on May 8, 2003, Portland Natural Gas Transmission 
System (PNGTS) filed a prior notice request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211(a)(2) of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act, and PNGTS's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP96-238 et al., for authorization to construct 
and operate new metering and related facilities in Westbrook, Maine.
    PNGTS states that it is proposing to construct the facilities in 
compliance with Section 4.3 of its rate settlement approved by the 
Commission in Docket No. RP02-13-000 on January 14, 2003, which 
requires PNGTS to construct facilities to allow for the bi-directional 
flow of gas on its system north of its Westbrook interconnect. PNGTS 
states that the proposed facilities consist of a pipeline meter, meter 
runs, and various valves, which will enable PNGTS to receive gas from 
the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes) system. PNGTS 
states that the proposed facilities will be constructed and reside 
entirely within the existing meter station site where PNGTS and 
Maritimes interconnect. PNGTS estimates the cost of constructing the 
proposed facilities is $539,000.
