CP95-659-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

electronic gas measurement (EGM) equipment in order to provide a 
delivery point to Bolivar on its system at M.P. 72-4+7.61 located in 
McNairy County, Tennessee. The hot tap assembly would be installed on

adjacent site provided by Bolivar. Tennessee states that the total cost

new delivery point. Tennessee states that it does not propose to 
increase the maximum contract quantity under an existing FT-GS contract 
with Bolivar and that there would be no impact on Tennessee's peak day 
or annual deliveries as a result of establishing this delivery point.
    Comment date: September 22, 1995, in accordance with Standard

4. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-665-000]

    Take notice that on August 4, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP95-665-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205, 157.211 ad 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.212) for 
authorization to construct and operate a new point of delivery to 
Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BGE), in Baltimore County, Maryland, 
and reassign and reduce Maximum Daily Delivery Obligations (MDDO's) at 
another existing point to BGE, under Columbia's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The proposed delivery point for BGE would be used to provide up to 
412 Dth/Day for residential service to serve Edrich Manor, a new 
subdivision. Columbia states that it will provide the service pursuant 
to Columbia's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP86-240-000 and 
that the transportation service to be initially provided through the 
new point of delivery will be firm service provided under Columbia's 
Rate Schedules SST or FTS, or it may be provided under firm capacity 
released by other shippers.
    Columbia states that BGE has not requested an increase in its peak 
day entitlements in conjunction with this request for a new point of 
delivery and, therefore, there is no impact on Columbia's existing peak 
day obligations to its customers as a result of the construction and 
operation of the proposed new point of delivery. Columbia states that 
BGE agrees to amend its existing SST Service Agreement with an MDDO 
increase for Edrich Manor and a like reduction to the granite MDDO by 
412 Dth/Day.
    Columbia states that the estimated cost to establish this point of 
delivery will be approximately $41,000, plus gross-up for income tax 
purposes. Columbia states that BGE has agreed to reimburse Columbia for 
the actual cost.
    Columbia states that it will comply with all of the environmental 
requirements of Section 157.206(d) of the Commission's regulations 
prior to the construction of any facilities.
    Comment date: September 22, 1995, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
