[Docket No. CP98-245-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

February 25, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 19, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-1046, filed in Docket No. CP98-245-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for permission and approval to 
abandon the transportation and exchange service with Union Light, Heat 
and Power Company (Union Light) provided under rate Schedule X-33, as 
revised, and all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    It is stated that the referenced exchange service provides for the 
transportation of natural gas by Union Light, for the account of 
Columbia, to Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E) at multiple 
delivery points in Hamilton County, Ohio. Columbia states that it no 
longer delivers natural gas to CG&E in Ohio and instead delivers 
natural gas to CB&E in Kentucky, thus eliminating the need for the Rate 
Schedule X-33 agreement.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 18, 1998, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
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 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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
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 Columbia to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
