[Docket No. CP98-1-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 8, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 1, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-
1273, filed in Docket No. CP98-1-000 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 point of delivery, located in Knox County, Ohio, to 
Columbia Gas of Ohio (COH), under Columbia's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP83-76-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 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 proposes to construct and operate an additional point of 
delivery of COH, in Knox County, Ohio and to reassign a portion of the 
Maximum Daily Delivery Obligation (MMDO) from an existing point of 
delivery to COH and institute a corresponding reduction at an existing 
point of delivery. Columbia states that as part of the firm 
transportation service to be provided, COH has requested that its 
existing Storage Service Transportation Agreement be amended by 
increasing the MMDO by 350 Dth/day at the proposed new point of 
delivery and reducing the MMDOs at the existing point of delivery by 
350 Dth/day. Columbia estimates annual quantities of natural gas to be 
delivered at the new point of delivery to be 30,600 Dth annually.
    Columbia asserts the end use of the new point of delivery will be 
industrial and utilized to serve a grain dryer operation. Columbia 
states the interconnecting and appurtenant facilities required to 
establish the new delivery point are estimated to cost $14,000, with 
COH reimbursing Columbia 100% of the total cost of the proposed 
construction.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
