Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

January 7, 2004.
    Take notice that on January 2, 2004, Iroquois Gas Transmission 
System, L.P. (Iroquois) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Original Sheet No. 4C, proposed to 
become effective on February 2, 2004.
    Iroquois states that the proposed changes would increase revenues 
from service on Iroquois' Eastchester Extension Project (Eastchester 
Project) by $16,990,556 million, based on the 12-month period ended 
September 30, 2003, as adjusted for changes projected to occur through 
June 30, 2004.
    Iroquois states that the purpose of its filing is to establish 
incremental rates for the Eastchester Project, and resulting secondary 
access rates to Eastchester capacity from Iroquois' existing, non-
expansion system. Iroquois further states that its rate filing is 
consistent with the Commission's directives in the Eastchester 
certificate orders in Docket No. CP00-232, and with section 1.2 of 
Iroquois' August 29, 2003, rate settlement in Docket No. RP03-589. 
Additionally, Iroquois states that the proposed rate increase is 
necessary to recover the higher actual costs of constructing the 
Eastchester Project, as well as allocated administrative and general 
costs, direct operation and maintenance costs, taxes, depreciation 
expense based on Iroquois' approved transportation depreciation rate, 
and an adequate return on its investment.
    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 
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
