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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
