[Docket No. CP98-700-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 10, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 30, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia Gas), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-1046, filed in Docket No. CP98-700-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for permission and 
approval to abandon, certain natural gas facilities located in Greene 
County, Pennsylvania. Columbia Gas makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Columbia Gas proposes to abandon approximately 0.61 
mile of 10-inch transmission Line 10 and appurtenances, 0.05 mile of 4-
inch transmission Line 803 and appurtenances, and one point of delivery 
to Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. (CPA). It is stated that the 
section of Line 10 proposed to be abandoned, is an uncoated pipeline 
that once transported gas for local producers, a supply which no longer 
exists. Columbia Gas avers there are no points of delivery from this 
section of Line 10, and that the section of Line 803 for which 
abandonment authority is requested, formerly provided service to CPA, 
but is no longer utilized for that purpose since CPA has a new supply 
to its market.
    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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
