    Take notice that on May 23, 1996, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 2603 Augusta STE 125, Houston, Texas 77057-
5637, filed in Docket No. CP96-539-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to establish a new

    Columbia Gulf proposes to construct and operate a new 
interconnection point

[[Page 29746]]

with Central Louisiana Electric Company, Inc. (CLECO) for providing 
transportation services. The new point will be located in St. Mary 
Parish, Louisiana and was requested by CLECO to serve the Teche Power 
Plant. The estimated quantities of natural gas to be delivered will be 
85,000 Dth/day-12.6 Bcf/annually. The cost is approximately $186,000 
with CLECO reimbursing Columbia Gulf 100% of the total actual 
construction cost. The services provided through the interconnection 
will be on an interruptible basis and will not affect Columbia Gulf's 
peak day and annual deliveries and the total volumes delivered will not 
exceed total volumes authorized prior to this request. Columbia Gulf 
states that this new interconnection is not prohibited by its existing 
tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries 
without detriment or disadvantage to other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lindwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
