Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-701-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

August 13, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 30, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Applicant), P.O. Box 10146, Fairfax, Virginia, 22030-0146, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-701-000 and abbreviated application pursuant 
to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Section 157 of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations 
thereunder, for permission and approval to construct certain natural 
gas facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicant specifically proposes to construct 0.05 mile of two-inch 
pipeline and appurtenances located on Schuyler County, New York to 
serve as by-pass for Applicant's Storage Line 9355. Applicant asserts 
that a by-pass pipeline such as the one proposed herein--the primary 
purpose of which is to ensure the integrity of service--is akin to an 
age and condition pipeline replacement and therefore qualifies for 
rolled-in rate treatment.
    Any person desiring to be heard to make a protest with reference to 
said application should on or before September 3, 1998, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, a petition 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 be 
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding.
    Any person wishing to become a party to the proceeding or 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 on this application 
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission 
on its motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further 
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provide for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
