2. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP94-320-000]

    Take notice that on March 31, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP94-320-000, an application 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of 
public convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and 
operation of certain storage pipeline facilities, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Columbia states that to ensure reliable operation of its pipeline 
facilities, Columbia has initiated a program to install pig launching 
and receiving facilities in segments of its existing storage fields. 
Columbia further states that installing these facilities would result 
in the need to replace short segments of pipeline to provide for a 
uniform pipe size between launchers and receivers.
    Columbia states that as a part of this program, Columbia proposes 
to construct and operate about 3.2 miles of 10-, 12-, and 16-inch 
pipeline to replace about 3.2 miles of 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch 
pipeline on its Lines SL-2149, SL-2482 and SL-2158 located in the 
Weaver Storage Field in Richland and Ashland Counties, Ohio. Columbia 
states that the estimated construction cost of these facilities is 
$1,803,400.
    Columbia states that it would also construct and operate three 
bidirectional launcher and receiver units and various appurtenant 
facilities. Columbia states that these facilities would be constructed 
under Sec. 2.55(a) of the Commission's Regulations at an estimated cost 
of $1,127,000.
    Comment date: April 29, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph

3. Williams Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP94-338-000]

    Take notice that on April 6, 1994, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP94-
338-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.212) for authorization to install a tap, measuring, regulating and 
appurtenant facilities to deliver transportation gas to Mercado Gas 
Services (Mercado) in Texas County, Oklahoma, under WGN's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, WNG seeks authorization to install a 2-inch tap on 
the Guymon-Blackwell 26-inch pipeline and construct measuring, 
regulating and appurtenant facilities in the Northwest Quarter (NW/4) 
of Section 28, Township 5 North, Range 16 ECM, Texas County, Oklahoma.
    WNG says that the gas delivered by WNG to Mercado would be used in 
a hog processing plant. WNG states that the annual volume delivered is 
estimated to be approximately 31,400 Dth the first year and would 
remain constant over the next five years. WNG submits that the peak day 
volume is estimated to be 400 Dth and would also remain constant for 
five years. WNG states that the total volume to be delivered to Mercado 
would not exceed the total volume authorized prior to this request. WNG 
further states that this change is not prohibited by an existing tariff 
and it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries specified 
without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. WNG says that 
the estimated cost of construction is $19,790, which would be 
reimbursed by Mercado. WNG indicates that Mercado would also reimburse 
WNG for associated income taxes.
    Comment date: May 23, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with

accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in

held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
