[Docket No. CP98-657-000]


Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

July 22, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 8, 1998, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 2603 Augusta, Suite 125, Houston, Texas 77001, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-657-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) 
under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to construct and 
operate 7.1 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline and appurtenances and a 
new delivery point in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, under Columbia 
Gulf's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-496-000, pursuant 
to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request 
that is on file with the Commission and open to Public inspection.
    Columbia Gulf proposes to construct, own and operate the facilities 
in order to make deliveries to Entergy Louisiana Inc. (ELI), a retail 
electric utility company which has requested transportation service 
from Columbia. It is stated that the pipeline facilities will extend 
from Columbia Gulf's existing Paradis lateral to an interconnection 
with Evangeline Gas Pipeline, L.P., where the new delivery point will 
be located. It is asserted that Columbia Gulf will initially deliver up 
to 100,000 Dt equivalent of natural gas per day to ELI on an 
interruptible basis pursuant to its ITS-2 rate schedule, with firm 
service to come later. It is estimated that the cost of the proposed 
facilities will be approximately $5,784,800. It is explained that the 
proposed deliveries will not impact Columbia Gulf's existing peak day 
obligations to its other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the intent 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 if 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and not withdrawn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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
