Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

December 2, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 25, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-
1273, filed in Docket No. CP98-102-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.212(a) of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212(a)) seeking NGA 
certification under Part 157 blanket construction procedures for an 
existing point of delivery originally authorized under NGPA Section 311 
to Ohio Cumberland Gas Company in Holmes County, Ohio, under the 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, all as more fully 
set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Columbia states that it seeks NGA certification in order that it 
may be used to provide both Part 284 Subpart B and G transportation. 
Columbia's proposed quantities to be delivered at the existing point of 
delivery are 400 Dth/day and 146,000 Dth/Annually. Columbia states that 
the end use of gas is for Industrial purposes to serve a new Asphalt 
Plant. Columbia states that the quantities of natural gas to be 
provided through the new point of delivery will be within its 
authorized level of service. Columbia contends that there is no impact 
on its existing design day and annual obligations to its customers as a 
result of the NGA certification of the existing point of delivery for 
transportation service. Additionally, Columbia notes that it installed 
interconnecting facilities which included a 2-inch tap and 15 feet of 
small diameter pipe. Columbia states that the facilities were placed 
in-service on September 8, 1997.
    Columbia asserts that it obtained the appropriate environmental 
clearances from the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office and the 
United States Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service for its 
proposed construction. Columbia contends that the cost to construct the 
new point of delivery was $15,000. Columbia notes that the 
transportation service to be provided through the new point of delivery 
will be from service provided under Columbia's Rate Schedule, Storage 
Service Transportation.
    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 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.
