[Docket No. CP99-100-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application to 
Abandon

December 12, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 9, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-1046, filed under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for 
authority to abandon by removal, 0.20 miles of its 4-inch line SRW-9127 
located in Hocking County, Ohio all as more fully described in the 
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The line for which Columbia requests abandonment authority is an 
uncoated pipeline which was used to transport gas for injection and 
withdrawal to a well located in the Laurel Storage Field. The well is 
no longer active and the property owner has requested that the line be 
removed.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before January 4, 1999, 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 be 
taken but will not serve to make the Protesters 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's.
    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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval of 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
