[Docket No. CP94-639-000]

 

Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.; Application

July 5, 1994.
    Take notice that on July 1, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed an application with the Commission in Docket No. 
CP94-639-000 pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) for permission and approval to abandon deteriorated pipe on Line 
1740 in Doddridge and Harrison Counties, West Virginia, and to replace 
the abandoned facilities, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is open to the public for inspection.
    Columbia proposes to abandon approximately 6.5 miles of 
deteriorated 20-inch diameter pipe\1\ in Doddridge and Harrison 
Counties, and replace with approximately 6.5 miles of 20-inch diameter 
pipe and 0.1 mile of 16-inch diameter pipe as an auxiliary crossover 
pipeline on five segments of Line 1740. Columbia does not request 
authorization for any new or additional service. Columbia states that 
the proposed pipeline sections would have equivalent design delivery 
capacity and the facilities proposed for abandonment are obsolete due 
to class location changes or are physically deteriorated to the extent 
that replacement is deemed advisable. The proposed construction would 
cost approximately $6,624,000 and the estimated net debit to retirement 
associated with the abandonment is $331,000.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 12, 1994, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All 
protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any 
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Secs. 7 and 15 of the NGA and the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 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 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, 
it will be unnecessary for Columbia to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
