[Docket No. RP04-24-005]


Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Motion To Withdraw 
Pleadings and Terminate Proceedings

April 21, 2004.
    Take notice that on April 19, 2004, Algonquin Gas Transmission 
Company (Algonquin) filed a motion to withdraw its pleadings and 
terminate the proceedings in Docket Nos. RP04-24-000, 001, 002, and 
003, as a result of reaching a Settlement Agreement. Algonquin requests 
expedited treatment of its motion.
    Specifically, in its motion, Algonquin requests that the 
Commission: (i) approve the withdrawal of the Algonquin FERC filings in 
Docket Nos. RP04-24-000, 001, 002, and 003; (ii) terminate, as of the 
date of such order, in these dockets numbers, including the hearing 
procedures established by the Commission; and (iii) provide any 
necessary authorizations for Algonquin's system operations during the 
pendency of these proceedings, as they pertain to services provided on 
the AFT-1(X-38) and AFT-CL(X-37) facilities.
    Algonquin states that it is seeking the Commission's approval to 
withdraw its pleadings and terminate these proceedings as a result of 
reaching a Settlement Agreement with USGen New England, Inc. (USGen). 
Algonquin states that granting this motion would resolve all issues 
raised in these proceedings in a manner that is consistent with the 
Commission's prior orders. Additionally, Algonquin states that the 
termination of these proceedings will not harm Algonquin's other 
customers, since the terms of the Settlement Agreement will only affect 
USGen.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a comment 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 comments 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

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
