CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 27, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 21, 1996, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-734-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct a new tap and 
appurtenant facilities to serve as a new delivery point to Hope Gas, 
Inc. (Hope) in Monongalia County, WV, under CNG's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-537-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    CNG states that Hope, a local distribution company in West Virginia 
and an affiliate of CNG, needs the new delivery point in order to 
provide natural gas services to Swanson Plating Co., Inc., ViTech 
Enterprises, Inc., and Morgantown Construction Group, Inc. (Customer 
Group) in Monongalia County, West Virginia. CNG relates that it will 
transport quantities of natural gas to Hope destined for the Customer 
Group under existing certificated transportation arrangements with 
Hope. CNG says it has sufficient system delivery capacity to deliver 
these quantities, without disadvantaging its existing customers.
    CNG explains that is will construct a two-inch ``hot'' tap and 
valve on its TL-323 pipeline. Hope will be installing a new meter and 
regulator (M&R) within a 20-foot by 20-foot fenced area, which is 
within CNG's existing TL-323 right-of-way, and approximately 7,675 feet 
of 3-inch connecting line to the Customer Group. CNG indicates the 
maximum design capacity of the 2-inch tap and M&R is 960 Mcf per day. 
CNG states that the total cost of CNG's construction will be fully 
reimbursed by Hope.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
