Corporation (Columbia) and Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia 
Gulf), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West Virginia 25314-

account. Upon receipt of the gas in Kentucky, Columbia transported and 
delivered it to Cabot at an existing point of delivery at Columbia's

Columbia and Columbia Gulf charged Cabot transportation for services 
rendered.
    Columbia states that the transportation agreement has been 
terminated and no volumes flowed since December 1991. The rate schedule

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 14, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirement 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 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 Applicants to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
