[Docket No. CP97-658-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 22, 1997, as supplemented on August 1, 
1997, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia), Post office Box 
1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-1273, filed in Docket No. CP97-
658-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205,157.211 and 157.216(b) 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205, 157.211, and 157.216) for approval to abandon a portion of its 
transmission Line KA and to relocate a point of delivery to Mountaineer 
Gas Company (Mountaineer) for service to one mainline tap customer, 
under Columbia's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more 
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Columbia proposes to abandon facilities that were transferred to 
low pressure service in order to maintain service to one mainline tap 
customer in Docket No. CP94-21-000. Columbia asserts that such transfer 
was necessary due to the relocation of a pipeline corridor in replacing 
deteriorating KA pipeline. Columbia further asserts that the proposed 
abandonment will not result in the loss of any service to any customer, 
as the customer is currently being provided natural gas service by 
Mountaineer.
    Columbia also requests authorization to relocate a point of 
delivery where Columbia has been requested by Mountaineer to continue 
to provide firm transportation service under Part 284 of the 
Commission's Regulations for U.S. Steel Mining Company. Columbia states 
that the estimated quantity of natural gas to be delivered at the 
relocated point of delivery is 120 Dth per Day.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 therefore, 
the proposed activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
