Changes in FERC Gas Tariff and of Offer of Settlement

September 9, 2003.
    Take notice that on August 29, 2003, Iroquois Gas Transmission 
System, L.P. (Iroquois) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Twenty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 4,

four annual reductions to Iroquois' rates in the years 2004, 2005, 
2006, and 2007, which over the term of the Settlement will reduce 
Iroquois' transportation rates by approximately 13% (e.g., the 100% 
load factor interzone rate will be reduced from the existing level of 
$0.4234, to the January 1, 2007, level of $0.3700, for a total 
cumulative reduction of $0.0534).

jurisdictional customers and interested state regulatory agencies and
