    Iroquois requests authority to modify certain facilities previously 
certificated in this docket and to construct limited additional 
facilities in order to provide 100,000 dekatherms per day (dth/d) of 
new firm transportation service to Consolidated Edison Company of New 
York, Inc. (Con Edison). Iroquois requests to: (1) Reduce the proposed 
size of the compressor unit, located in Brookfield, Connecticut, from 
10,000 horsepower to 7,700 horsepower; (2) install new cooling 
facilities at Brookfield; and (3) install new cooling facilities at 
Iroquois's existing compressor station at Dover, New York. The 
estimated cost of these facilities is approximately $41,600,000. 
Iroquois also requests a predetermination that the costs associated 
with the project will receive rolled-in rate treatment to Iroquois's 
Eastchester rates in its first NGA section 4 rate proceeding to become 
effective after the in-service date for the proposed facilities. In 
order to meet Co Edison's requested November 1, 2007 in-service date, 
Iroquois proposes to commence construction by April, 2007.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to M. 
Lisanne Crowley, Troutman Sanders LLP, 401 9th Street, NW., Suite 1000,
