[Docket No. CP97-720-000]


KO Transmission Company; Notice of Application

September 8, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 29, 1997, KO Transmission Company (KO 
Transmission) 139 East Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-720-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act for authorization to acquire certain facilities from 
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) in Menifee County, 
Bracken County, and Pendleton County, and Cold Spring, Kentucky, all as 
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Specifically, KO Transmission proposes to acquire (1) an undivided 
12.62 percent interest in Columbia's Kentucky System extending from 
Columbia's interconnection with Columbia Gulf Transmission Company to 
Columbia's Foster Regulation Station, and (2) an undivided 67.33 
percent interest in Columbia's Kentucky System extending northward from 
the Foster Regulation Station to the terminus of the Kentucky System. 
KO intends to acquire the 12.62 percent ownership interest for 
approximately $441,582 and the 67.33 ownership interest for 
approximately $198,820.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 29, 1997, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for KO Transmission to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
