[Docket No. CP96-815-000]


Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 4, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 26, 1996, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP96-815-000 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 construct and operate a new delivery point to 
accommodate deliveries of gas to the City of Pontotoc (Pontotoc) in 
Pontotoc County, Mississippi, under Columbia's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP83-496-000, 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.
    Columbia Gulf proposes to construct and operate the new delivery 
point, in order to deliver up to 400 dt equivalent of natural gas per 
day to Pontotoc on a peak day and up to 146,000 dt equivalent on an 
annual basis. It is stated that the end uses of the gas will be 
residential, commercial and industrial. Columbia Gulf proposes to 
transport gas on a firm, backhaul basis, under its FTS rate schedule. 
The cost of the facilities is estimated at $170,000, for which Columbia 
Gulf will be fully reimbursed by Pontotoc. It is asserted that because 
the deliveries will be the result of backhaul transportation, there 
will be no impact on Columbia's peak day obligations to its other 
customers resulting from the proposed delivery point.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
