Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Co., Notice of Joint Application

April 6, 1995.
    Take notice that on April 4, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia Gas), 1700 MacCorkl Avenue, S.E., P.O. Box 1273, 
Charleston, West Virginia, 25325-1273, and Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., P.O. Box 1273, 
Charleston, West Virginia, 25325-1273, filed a joint application 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act requesting authority to 
abandon a transportation service provided by Columbia Gas and Columbia 
Gulf for FMC Corporation (FMC) performed under Columbia Gas' Rate 
Schedule X-128, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The transportation service was authorized in Docket No. CP85-606-
000 which approved the agreement that Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf 
would transport of up to 5,000 Dth/d of gas for FMC's Baltimore, 
Maryland plant. Columbia Gulf would receive gas from the producer, 
Amoco Production Company (Amoco) at various points of receipt in 
Cameron, Vermilion, Lafourche, and Jefferson Davis Parishes, Louisiana. 
Columbia Gulf transported gas to Columbia Gas at an existing point of 
interconnection near Leach, Kentucky. Columbia Gas, in turn, would 
transport the gas to existing points of interconnection with Baltimore 
Gas and Electric Company (BG&E) for ultimate delivery to FMC in 
Baltimore, Maryland. Volumes were last transported in March of 1993 
under Rate Schedule X-128. The transportation agreement provided for a 
primary term of three years and could continue on month to month 
thereafter until terminated by any party upon written notice to the 
other. On June 23, 1993 Columbia Gas notified FMC of its cancellation 
of the transportation service to be effective July 25, 1993. Columbia 
Gas notified Columbia Gulf and BG&E on June 25, 1993, of its intent to 
terminate the transportation agreement, X-128 to be effective July 25, 
1993.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make a protest with reference 
to said application should, on or before April 27, 1995, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (825 North Capitol Street, NE., 
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 285.214 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 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 Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
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 
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 Gas or Columbia Gulf to appear or 
be represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
