CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 15, 1996.
    Take notice that on July 11, 1996, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-635-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205,

[[Page 37731]]

157.211) for authorization to upgrade the existing Johnsonburg 
Measuring and Regulation Station (Johnsonburg M&R Station) in Elk 
County, Pennsylvania under CNG's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP82-537-000 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.
    CNG states that the upgraded Johnsonburg M&R Station will serve as 
an upgraded delivery point to Hanley and Bird, Inc. (Hanley), a local 
distribution company, for delivery of up to 14,000 Dth of natural gas 
per day. CNG states that Hanley will utilize these volumes for re-
delivery to Willamette Industries, Inc's (Willamette) existing paper 
plant near the town of Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. CNG states that 
Hanley and Willamette will be making arrangements to transport the 
14,000 Dth per day on an interruptible or capacity release basis on 
CNG's interstate pipeline system.
    CNG further states that the upgrade is necessary to deliver 
Hanley's and Williamette's gas because of the deterioration of the 
facilities at the existing Johnsonburg M&R Station. CNG states that the 
upgrade would consist of a new heater, control valves, SCADA equipment, 
M&R piping and valves and buildings at the point of interconnection 
with CNG's Line 20. CNG states that the maximum daily design capacity 
of the upgraded Johnsonburg M&R Station will be 14,000 Dth per day.
    CNG also states that Hanley and Williamette have agreed to 
reimburse CNG for the majority of the costs of the upgrade, which are 
estimated to be $250,000, and that CNG will continue to be the owner of 
the Johnsonburg M&R Station.
    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 Sec. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
