Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 4, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 23, 1998, as supplemented on July 31, 
1998, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair 
Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP98-
688-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a new point of 
delivery for Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. (CPA) in Franklin 
County, Pennsylvania, under its 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 which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Columbia says that it will construct and operate this new point of 
delivery for firm transportation service under existing rate schedules 
and within certificated entitlements. CPA estimates that the volumes 
for the new point of delivery will be 225 Dth/day. CPA has requested 
that its existing SST Rate Schedule Agreement with Columbia be amended 
by reducing the MDDQs at the existing Admire point of delivery by 225 
Dth/day and reassigning the same volume of gas to the proposed new 
TARCO point of delivery. Columbia asserts that the quantities of 
natural gas to be provided through the new point of delivery will be 
within Columbia's authorized level of service.
    Columbia estimates the cost to construct this new point of delivery 
will be $16,400. CPA will reimburse Columbia 100% of the total actual 
cost of the proposed construction. Columbia states that it will comply 
with all of the environmental requirements of Section 157.206(d) of the 
Commission's Regulations prior to the construction of any facilities.
    Any person on the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, 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 request 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.

Secretary.
