3. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

[Docket No. CP95-33-000]

    Take notice that on October 24, 1994, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-33-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 157.7 and 157.18

exchange services between Tennessee and Koch Gateway Pipeline Company

with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee states that it proposes to abandon two exchange services 
initiated pursuant to agreements dated December 6, 1962, and January 9, 
1970. Tennessee indicates that it provided its service under its Rate 
Schedules X-16 and X-27, respectively. Tennessee further states that 
the services were authorized in Docket Nos. CP63-181 and CP70-175, 
respectively. It is indicated that on April 30, 1993, Tennessee 
requested that Koch advise whether the services authorized in Docket 
Nos. CP63-181 and CP70-175 were still required and that, if no response 
was received by May 13, 1993, Tennessee would proceed with abandonment. 
It is further indicated that Tennessee has received no such response, 
and, therefore, requests abandonment. Tennessee also states that there 
has been no activity under either service agreement since 1986. No 
facilities are proposed to be abandoned.

Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

4. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-34-000]

    Take notice that on October 24, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP95-34-000 an application 
pursuant to Section 7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act requesting 
authority to construct and operate certain replacement natural gas 
facilities and permission to abandon the facilities being replaced, all 
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Columbia proposes to replace approximately 1.3 miles of 
deteriorating 18-inch pipeline located in Greene and Madison Counties, 
Ohio and designated as Columbia's Line A, with approximately 1.3 miles 
of 20-inch pipeline. Columbia states that the sections proposed here 
for replacement were constructed in 1944 and 1948, using coupled 
pipeline and are the last coupled sections of Line A between Howell and 
Mt. Sterling Stations to be replaced. Columbia reports that recent 
examinations of Line A have confirmed general corrosion to the extent 
that replacement is required in order to maintain service to Columbia's 
existing customers.
    Columbia states that it has concluded that since 18-inch pipeline 
is a non-standard size and the cost difference in using 20-inch pipe in 
place of 18-inch pipe is minimal, it will use 20-inch pipe for all 
future age and condition replacements on this line. Columbia asserts 
that the change in pipeline size will create a de minimus increase of 
less than 300 Dth/d of added capacity. Columbia estimates the cost of 
the proposed construction to be $557,200.
    Comment date: November 16, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date,

CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but

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

Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act 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/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, 
it will be unnecessary for applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
