DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-350-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, et al.; Notice of 
Application

May 1, 1995.
    Take notice that on April 25, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, and National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (National 
Fuel), 10 LaFayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-350-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a transportation and 
exchange service, all as more fully set forth in the application on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicants propose to abandon the service which was authorized by 
the Commission in Docket No. CP77-465 and carried out under the terms 
of an agreement on file as Columbia's Rate Schedule X-96 and National 
Fuel's Rate Schedule X-16. It is stated that Columbia was authorized to 
transport gas for National Fuel in order for UGI Utilities Inc. (UGI), 
formerly UGI Corporation, to take advantage of a storage service 
furnished by National Fuel and National Gas Storage Corporation. It is 
stated that Columbia was authorized to deliver to National Fuel for 
UGI's account between 2 and 25 MMcf of gas per day for summer injection 
and between 3 and 35 MMcf of gas per day for winter withdrawal. It is 
explained that these deliveries were made at existing interconnections 
between Columbia and National Fuel. It is further explained that an 
additional point of interconnection was established in Cameron County, 
Pennsylvania, in order to make deliveries for injection into storage 
and withdrawal.
    It is stated that in a letter dated July 12, 1993, Columbia 
notified National Fuel and UGI that it was terminating the 
transportation and exchange agreement effective May 10, 1994. Columbia 
explains that the services are no longer needed and that an alternative 
service is available to UGI under Columbia's Part 284 storage and 
transportation blanket certificate pursuant to its SST rate schedule. 
It is asserted that no gas volumes have been transported under 
[[Page 22379]] Rate Schedule X-96 since 1983, and there are no 
outstanding imbalances.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 22, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 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 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 
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 is 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 or National Fuel to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
